I will give you heads up!! My son got stranded on the river bed take his dog for a walk .some how he ended trap on one side of the river bed very sleepy he could not get off on any direction he call me for help it was very difficult to get him out nd I didn't want to call 911...so one hour later the time was 8:30 p.m.when finally got my son and the dog to safety I went back to the car to find on the windshield a ticket for 49.00...and the park exit locked!! The park ranger did not see and or checked if anybody was in trouble. And or wondered as to why the car was park after 8: p.m..the only thing he was eager to give his thicket and lock the gates!! Very sad! But then is the city of south gate.what do you spect!! I'm happy that I got my son and his dog to safety at the end thas all it matters.hopefully that 49.00 can help them to at least fix some of the ugly pot hols in their city.

They have UPGRADED this park tremendously !!!! The floor is a foam type, surrounded by benches, plants, trees and picnic area. Hollydale Park now has rock climbing activities, swings for all ages, and what made me love this park even More they have a separate playground right next to the big play set which is also very kid friendly. I applaud the city greatly because of the tarp look alike to cover the big playground BUT my BIG concern is what about the Baby playground ? It gets hot quickly during summer so it makes it difficult for any toddler to play in. The park should Highly consider placing a cover for the toddler play set too, can prevent unwanted rashes or burns. That is why I lowered the rating in the stars made it a bit challenging...

Great quiet little dog park. Not a lot of dogs, at least during our time there. Separate areas for large and small dogs. No restrooms but the bigger park has them. We ended up walking around the entire Hollydale Park. Very nice park where they are fighting a huge battle against golphers on the playing fields to keep kids safe. Spent about 30 minutes talking to the lead golpher wrangler, Jerry, who gave me the morbid but interesting history of his field. Jerrys been doing it for a number of years and was telling me how he developed the traps to catch them. Thanks Jerry! 1. Golphers are blind but fairly fast. 2. They're incredible diggers. 3. The wranglers now use traps instead of pestcide...
