Virginia Avenue Park — Attraction in Santa Monica

Great place. Large green field to play soccer, run around or do other activities. You will see people doing outdoor workout, taichi, walking or jogging along the periphery. There are two basketball courts, Sandy play area for children with parents, water splash pad which is very popular among kids for summer.

There are a few rooms, such Thelma Louise Center, you can reserve for your private parties, gathering or other functions. Pico branch library, about three years new, is in the park and had a great all around view of park from inside the library.

Picnic benches and tables are at various places in the park. Public parking is available when you are visiting the park, along with free charging station for electric vehicle.

Park center contains park offices and a few rooms to hold various workout and educational classes. Schedules can be found at the park center office. There is beautiful mural on the outside wall of the park cent

Maybe you could strike up a conversation. After all, they are your neighbors...

There's always something going on at the park there's an activity center for the youth and in addition to that there's a farmers market that comes on Saturday mornings I believe.
