Gandara Park — Attraction in Santa Monica

It is a small park with one baseball field and a basketball court. There is some free parking also and a children's play area. Restrooms are available. See The main park is not levelled. It may have been designed to look like rolling hills but, actually, it is bumpy, uneven and crooked. When it rains, the field, parking lot and basketball court get flooded with stagnant water because it lacks proper drainage. There is a track/ wsljway along the periphery which seems to be used a lot by dog walkers.

There are some nice big mature eucalyptus trees in the park and a breeze bicycle stand near the entrance. West end of the park is not good because it seems to get dirty dust from adjacent city of santa Monica's trash recycling center.. previously it used to he called Stewart Park. Summer time this park hosts jazz music on Sundays for eight to...

Not sure how others rated this park 4 stars. My kid had Super Soccer Stars here for about three weekends. In that time, 1 of the nice looking restrooms had a junkie kit inside, needles etc. Homeless people sleep in front of the restrooms. A homeless person rode his bike through a crowd of 5 year olds playing soccer. Others had pitbulls off their leash. And my kid fractured his wrist falling of the monkey bars cause the cork flooring at the playground might as well be concrete. Looks like a decent area for playing basketball though. Not good...

Well, it's more of an extended baseball diamond than a park. No tables, no BBQ grills, and maybe 3 or 4 benches strewn around. There's 1 basketball court and a playground for smaller children. There seems to be a dump or a parking lot for garbage trucks towards the rear so when the wind picks up, it smells yucky. Maybe that's why there are no picnic tables here. Who could eat with that stink? FYI, yes, there are bathrooms....and yes there are homeless...
