Glenoaks Park

I don’t get to visit this park often but, every time that I get the chance it’s always clean.
There is never any trash left thrown about the park and owners always seem to clean up after their dogs.
I’ve seen birthday parties here and it’s never too crowded with the extra visitors.
Nice, safe, clean park for visitors of any age.

First time to this park. Play apparatus, tennis courts and a lot of free parking. Many trees. Club house good size for a kids party. Bathroom facilities and refrigerator available.

My toddler enjoyed it but the park was littered with trash (likely from the birthday parties held over the weekend). Just disappointing to see that people have so little respect for public spaces. If you’re going to hold a party here, CLEAN UP! There were cans and chip bags strewn about the playground …

Great place to take a toddler. With two big jungle gyms and swings, you can’t go wrong!

I love this park it’s right by my house. It’s safe and clean. And it has so much for the kids to do.

(Visited 01÷12÷13 SA @ 12pm): A childhood playground revisited many years later as it springs my youthfulness.
Over the glen and through some oaks, a friend had her baby shower at Glenoaks Park, located in the bucolic neighborhood of Glenoaks/​Scholl Canyon in the Jewel City of Glendale. It’s been nearly a couple decades since I last came to this park, and another half-​decade before that when I last attended the local elementary school. As much as the neighborhood has changed with remodeled homes, foliage scaled back, and more cars found along the winding street of Glenoaks Blvd., the park barely had any work done. Sure, an expanded and more contemporary jungle gym area for kids was installed, a quaint sitting alcove area at one corner of the park along the main road created, the excessive rust on the fences scrubbed away, and the sharp flaked paint chips sanded off and coated over… but otherwise, still the same as I remembered it! :o)
In addition to some of the amenities mentioned, there was an enclosed basketball and tennis court (didn’t happen to notice any lights, though), plenty of grassy area — both shaded and non-​shaded, a mini paved walk path, an event facility, and smack-​dab in the middle of a safe neighborhood. The baby shower took place in the spacious Joe Bridges Clubhouse, which can be rented for special events such as this. The facility held about 100 people, came with many banquet tables and sturdy folding chairs, and a fully functioning kitchen for any food preparation and storage. Of course, the facility had restrooms, and I loved the vented floor heaters!
The service was non-​existent; it’s a park for goodness sake!
Parking was ample although it’s all along the surrounding streets. There is no dedicated lot or structure, but there were no meters or permitted areas to worry yourself with. Again, the neighborhood was extremely safe and family-​oriented.
Overall, my visit to Glenoaks Park was a welcomed walk down memory lane as I saw images of myself throughout my youth from t-​ball and tennis practice, horsing around with friends, relaxing under a shaded tree, and late-​night underage drinking. A warm feeling came over me when I saw how well-​kept the park was as well as the neighborhood as a whole. I found complete value as there was no need for money, and anytime you can find a nice place to relax and take your kids to, you can’t go wrong. The atmosphere was outdoorsy (obviously!); you’re in a park! The attire was totally casual, so you’d normally find me in a t-​shirt, boardshorts, and flip-​flops (it was a brisk wintry 52 degrees so I was actually in a beanie, fleece, pants, and shoes. And there’s nothing to pay for, so it didn’t matter if they accepted my credit card of choice… AMEX!

This is a very nice and well kept park. My kids love the play structure and I like how can always find plenty of shade. When I went, the other children were socialized and played well together.
In response to the complaint about woodchips — this is a fairly normal type of play area padding (I’ve seen it at many other playgrounds and preschools), and it’s common sense not to kids step on it without shoes.

I’ve been here for 2 parties and the facilities are great. The hall is spacious and the kitchen area is very good. The bathrooms are clean and easily accessible. Big grassy area with lots of trees and the playground is fairly sized.
My only complaint is cell service is spotty. If you have AT&T you might get 1 bar depending on where you stand, otherwise you are greeted with NO SERVICE on your phone’s screen. If you have Verizon, then it’s hit or miss — 5 bars or no bars depending on where you stand, but it’s better than AT&T.

Great park with lush grass, majestic trees and play area for kidlings. Masses of shade, picnic tables and a tennis court.
Don’t be a moron and have a toddler barefoot on public spaces. This is why we all end up having to pay public funds to have signs telling us how to have common sense. Save us all some money and stay home when you’re not mentally equipped or bring a smart friend.

I thought this park was quite nice. My 2-​year-​old loved the playground, and the woodchips weren’t a problem for him or any of the other kids. They have nice toddler swings and smaller playground equipment for little kids. Plus there’s some shade and it wasn’t crowded. Apparently the wading pool is also great for younger kids, but it’s only open Mon & Tues this summer. We’ll definitely go back to this park.

Not a safe playground for kids! I cannot believe they have wood chips in the playground. My son who is 4 years old boy got a cut underneath his foot because of these wood chips! Kids often get annoyed by the wood chips! Unless your kids wear sneakers, otherwise, stay away from this park.
