Tongva Park, Santa Monica

An incredible park! The significant homeless presence was not enough to detract from the appealing hardscaping and landscaping that wowed me. As a recent purveyor to landscapers, I was often able to see finished and nearly finished projects of significant scope in high-end private and commercial settings, as well as large municipal projects that had to satisfy broad audiences and were subject to strict guidelines. None of those projects comes close to achieving what I saw at Tongva Park. Any student of landscaping MUST come here and see what was accomplished.

Came for the water park Parked at the civic center which was about of 3 minute walk away. The park has a nice area of shade and Sun. It is a nice area to sit down with your family right next to the water splash park area. The actual slide park and Waterpark are pretty small. But the overall weather and atmosphere with the other kids makes us a pretty fun place. In regards of the homeless situation and haven't noticed that many but they are here.
