Golden Park

Love the park during morning hours after 4 scary there has been a couple of shootings and police activity looking for suspects in the park… that’s the only complain but other then that I love this park so close to home

Overall a GREAT park, but we don’t get the same love from city hall as some other parks in the city. As for some shady people, the same dozen losers living around the area who think they are tough or gangsters but are chicken shit losers come out at dawn when they finally get out of bed. Dont be afraid. They’re all losers and cowards and dope fiends.

Indeed Golden Park in Downey is a good park, but I was disappointed when I first visited there a little over a week ago (May 2015).
I guess I felt like the City of Downey could take care of it a bit better… like they have with other parks. Maybe repaint the activity building and all the other drab, sun-​beaten blueness. Add a mural or art in public places? Xeriscaping along the walking path?
The playground equipment is sectioned into two parts: 2 – 12 years of age and 5 – 12 years of age. The equipment itself was sturdy and seemed well-​maintained.
There is a youth baseball field. A basketball court. A walking path, but I didn’t see much info about it (distance, etc.). Barbeque pits. Benches. Picnic tables. Even an activity building with a kitchen, a handball court, and I assume a restroom, although, I didn’t see one. Some of these are available to reserve if you’re a Downey resident.
Simon R. commented that he «would not let my fam here alone after dark.» True. That’s one reason I knocked off a star.
I was pleasantly surprised with the cleanliness of the park and all the wonderful shade trees.

Great little fam park located in Downey not far from Rosecrans blvd. great during the day but I would not let my fam here alone after dark.

Always clean, friendly staff, grass kept clean, nice BBQ & rec area… Basketball and baseball court. Walking path… Lots of stuff!
