Beautiful urban park on a little hill. The park is slightly higher than Ocean Ave therefore you can get a good view of the beach and ocean from one of its overlooks. There are plenty of shades in the park and a super cool play area for kids. However, I did spot homeless people in the park too when I was there.

This is a great park located on Ocean Avenue really close to the Santa Monica Pier. My wife and I walked near this park other times, but this was my first time walking into it. It is great for families because they have slides and splash areas, and there are some great architectural features. I found it very tranquil, and I especially liked the platforms with views of the beach and the pier. It is worth spending time there.
