I've visited this park since a child. They have done a lot of changes to make it look better. It is near the center of some of the worst neighborhoods in Southern Cali so expect to see some unpleasant people around. You will see trash and the lake water isn't the cleanest, but it's still a nice place for recreational use. There is plenty of space for sports (soccer, football, ultimate frisbee), use of an RC if you're into the hobby (drones, car, plane, boat), a lake to fish (120th st. has the closest parking lot to the fishing lake), many paths (walk, jog or ride a bike) and a playground with splash pad for the children during the summer. There are different type of species to admire throughout the year so take some binoculars if you like to bird watch. If you're an adult visiting this park, be sure to act like one. I've seen plenty of adults, such as parents, litering and feeding the animals junk food. You can clearly see the birds and turtles spit it out. Don't set these type of examples for your children because they might not be the only one that are watching the bad influence. Those examples are the reason why adults have that bad habit. They make it a normal thing to do for themselves and others follow. Its the most common thing to do is bring bread crumbs or at least some bits of tortillas to feed the birds if you don't want to buy bird food from a pet shop. Another common thing to do is to throw away trash in a designated bin.
