Clover Park — Attraction in Santa Monica

Super huge and nice park on Ocean Park Blvd. and near the Santa Monica airport. Tons and tons of free grassy areas, lots of parking, especially for Santa Monica, various sports fields/courts, including: baseball, basketball, soccer, tennis, volleyball, etc., not to mention various exercise apparatus and playground equipment like jungle gyms and monkey bars. One of the highlights for younger children (but not too young...) is a giant (about 2 stories) metal rocket with a spiral staircase hidden beneath the shiny sheet metal of the fuselage. Once you ascend the stairs, you can speak with other people on the ground through a Navy-style speaking tube and take a fast trip to the ground level on big slide.

It is an exceptionally nice place to take your family without spending a ton of cash or worrying too much about a potentially stressful experience ruining your...

The restroom is clean unlike the ones in Santa Monica Pier area. Also no homeless around this area. If you are hungry, a few blocks around here, there are just many options. Sidewalk on Ocean Park Blvd is clean, nice, and well maintained.

It is a pleasure to walk here to see kids and families play, exercise and be a part of this community. It is always good to visit part regardless...
