It's a very beautiful park. The homeless were removed for the Camellia Festival earlier in 2022. Sadly within the year, they've slowly returned. They have mental issues, and scream off the top of their lungs. They break city ordinance by smoking --the park is smoke-free because it's government property. There's a homeless guy sleeping on the floor there until 10am, and another guy verbally and physically abusing a dog. I've made a request for County Mental Health, and have yet to hear a response. There are one or two regulars who are quiet and don't cause trouble, but the others are really causing serious issues. Without the homeless there, this is a nice quaint little park, and the tiny library finished their remodeling in time for the festival. Pro-tip: Whether you're a vendor, or whoever you are, don't park/leave your car/drop-off in the red zone, especially by the fire hydrant. When my friends try to tell you out of kindness and you ignore them, don't give the cops a tough time when they do their job, you've been kindly reminded. These curbs are painted red instead of white/green/yellow for a reason, so if you need to be reminded of basic traffic laws after you miraculously got your license, red is ONLY for fire trucks, and they need access to that fire hydrant. You know, in case your event burns in a fire, they can have access to water from that yellow thing sticking from the ground that miraculously becomes a fountain of water that can take out fires. I know... MAGIC!!!!*:・゚✧...
Read moreI came here for the Concert in the Park held in the summer. Nice evening to hang out with friends, enjoy the songs and boogie or simply sway to the music.
Many people bring their own chairs. And some went all out to have a small folding table with lots of food and drinks to share with and be enjoyed by their friends.
They also have booths that sell some food and other merchandise. Browse around and you may find some gems.
A nice opportunity to catch up with friends, say hello to other attendees or even join those who line dance.
An appreciated activity held by the city of...
Read moreI went to see what this Temple City Carnival was about. Turns out this was also a Parade as well. Our future daughter-in-law was born and raised in Rosemead and Temple City. So we all went and took part of the festivities. It was so much fun playing and winning toys and stuff for our 3 year old Grandson Daniel Robert Viramontes. I took the opportunity to snap a few pics and will throw them up at the end of my review. Signing out from Alhambra CA, gateway to the SGV- SXG this is Chuy aka Jesse...
