Picture Perfect Park

This park is rich in beauty and multi layered in it's identity and functionality. You will first notice that the park is lavishly decked out in indigenous plants, trees, greenery and wild flowers. Besides the overall aesthetic of the park it is expansive - starts at Plummer St and Santa Monica and reaches all the way to fountain. Whether u want to soak up rays or cool down in the shade, you will find it here at Plummer Park.

The park is situated in section of West Hollywood that has to been historically inhabited by Russians. They are regulars here and participate in card and gaming activities.

Members of the trans and LGBQT community also consider this a meeting hub. The park is family friendly and an excellent place for picnics.

Cities are moving towards utilizing and developing micro urban parks that are mini parks situated in densely populated urban areas.

This is a review of the tennis courts. They are cracked and usually have debris on them ranging from leaves to gum (!), but they are nonetheless a fun place and convenient place to play in an urban park sort of way. I like that they were resurfaced some time ago in blue, the nets are the right height, and they are often available. The tennis pros look great, though I've only watched them and never taken a lesson. I play with a friend. The cons are that the courts are very noisy, which can be a problem when playing tennis. The court we usually play on is near a workout station on the southwest side, and there is often very loud amplified music from trainers teaching classes there (are they allowed to do that?). Also, it is right near the bathroom, which is always occupied by street people getting high and staying locked in there for long periods of time. There is always garbage and on two occasions human waste on the side of the court near the bathroom. The courts on the other side get traffic noise. On the other hand, it is an entertaining experience to play there, with a mix of languages and personalities, and in the mornings I...

This park is a bit small and funky with a lot of riff-raff roaming around, and finding parking can be tough also. I would probably be one-and-done there except for two features. First, there are more tennis courts per park area than probably any other park in Los Angeles and you can usually find an open court quickly, and 2nd, there is a large contingent of Russians who seem to gravitate here; and many old Russian men sit at the picnic tables and play chess incessantly. I love chess, and these guys will generously allow you to play with them while they kibbutz and mock you, and also encourage you too. If tennis or chess is your thing then you may have found a new LA home. There's also a basketball court right in the middle of everything, which can get very competitive and even combative but I've seen a lot of talent play there. All things considered I would give Plummer...
