Lee and Erika Owens Park — Attraction in Whittier

I took the grandkids for a day out. It's was a very nice experience. There was a life guard on site, and the park was very clean. The only reason I give it 4 stars is because there is limited shade. While there is plenty of seating and some nice trees that offer a little bit of shade, there are some benches that get nothing but sun.
