Cerritos Park East

The hall building DOESN’T have freaking vending machines, you have to goto the swim center.

Great park for walking your dog, there’s poop bags on every corner of the park in case you forget. 2 baseball fields, 1 track field, soccer field within the track, 2 full basketball courts, 4 tennis courts, and 2 walls for handball or tennis or wtvs. The people in the community center are really nice and helpful. The swimming pool is nice and large, if you live outside Cerritos, you have to pay. Haven’t problems when I come here to work out or play basketball.

great place for my evening walk and run. I recently moved to the area and the lighted track is great for some late night exercise.

Very nice and clean park. It has 3 baseball fields, a small playground for children, I track to run/​walk, handball courts and other amenities to entertain yourselves and have fun!

Came here for the swim center and liked the park a lot. lots of parking and lots of stuff to do. tennis courts, bball courts, and even a community center. I’d take my family here!

My 3 yo toddler takes ballet here every Saturday. She loves it. The staff is kind. The teacher is very professional. Park is very clean. Multiple playgrounds. She likes to play in the sand or the playground after her class.
I see bunch of little league games and tennis and basketball pick up games going on every Saturday. Very family friendly environment. Will continue to use it and book classes here.

We come here weekly with our homies to walk or attempt to run on the track lol! They track is padded so it’s easy on the knees! Our little guys are hyped too! Playground is fun! We enjoy this park a lot!!!

This park comes alive in the evenings. The flood lights comes on when the sun goes down. Several people congregate to use the rubber track to walk and run. Kids have their tennis lessons on the adjacent tennis courts. Softball leagues are having their games on the baseball diamonds. Youths are on the basketball court shooting hoops. Whitney High School teenagers are having their soccer team practice., etc… very safe park in a great neighborhood.

My 3 kids have been taking swimming here for the past year, and it is completely worth the drive to come here. Instructors are incredibly nice, knowledgable, pool is heated so coming during the winter months is wonderful. Plenty of accommodations. and there are so many lifeguards on watch. this pool is definitely one of the best !!! A+++

I love this park. Let’s keep it clean please ;)

One Cerritos’ best parks. clean, we’ll kept and HUGE. Everything a kid or an adult could think of. My ask is to help support our community by respecting the park (clean up after yourselves, be considerate of your party’s noise and don’t be pricks).

Word of warning to anyone that wants to have a birthday party here: DON’T. They have ridiculous rules and require you to pay for insurance for every single thing you do other than sitting and eating. This place deserves 0 stars and the only reason why I’m giving it 1 is because it won’t let me give it 0. THIS VENUE IS NOT WORTH YOUR TIME AND YOUR MONEY.

In a city like Cerritos that is advertised as a park-​like community, CPE really stands out to me. They have EVERYTHING in this one location…
olympic size pool
basketball courts
tennis courts
outdoor covered party spots
indoor party venue/​community center
baseball fields
a track (a little small, so 5 laps = 1 mile)
playground
in the community center you can check out games, watch tv, take fitness classes
man!!! they really do have everything
The loop around the park is approx .5 mile. So, you’ll always see tons of people and their dogs walking around the park, getting their exercise in for the day. Doggy bag stations are found along the pathway. They’re pretty good about keeping them full. But, you should bring your own bags anyway. AND, please use them!
And although it’s pretty busy, there are 3 parking lots and street parking in the surrounding neighborhoods. So, you’re sure to find parking somewhere. If not, walk a little. You ARE there to get exercise, right? ;-)

Cleanest park EVER.
We reserved a picnic area on the Fourth of July for $ 150. A bit pricey, but so worth it. We ended up staying for 9 hours because we were having such a good time. There’s free basketball courts, tennis courts, playground, barbecue grill, and outdoor sink.
The bathroom is located in the community center very closeby, and it’s SUPER clean. Nothing like those gross and grimy bathrooms you see at so many parks, where toilet papers are scattered everywhere and sharp urine stinking up the entire place. Nope, not here.
LOVE IT.

Large, spacious park, with wide and well maintained concrete walks for the entire perimeter. this is the site of many events, including sports events.
Venue for swim meets — the Olympic swimming pool is open to public for a nominal fee, and is indoors. That’s great for the summer months, but it can get crowded with school out.
There are multiple tennis courts (need to make reservations), several picnic ares with grills and tables/​benches under shady trees. The covered patio areas are available for use by reservation.
There is also a community center with several rooms that can be configured for larger groups. Also a stage available. The hall has kitchen facilities. AV equipment also available for use.
Basketball courts are open for use pretty much all day.
There are doggie doody bags provided at a few places, but some days are empty — a lot of people come here with their canine friends, but dogs must be on leash. (I wish there was a dog park in Cerritos).
Parking can be slightly difficult on the days that swim meets or other events are scheduled but this is on any other day, is easy. Parking often overflows out into the neighborhood on weekends.

Favorite park in Cerritos for locals. Basketball courts, all surface walking/​jogging track, tennis courts, indoor swimming center, racquetball courts, softball fields, and playground for kids. Very clean and not too crowded compared to Heritage park.
They recently redid the kids playground with padded surfaces instead of wood chips. Also good bike riding path for kids. For larger parties you can reserve picnic areas through Cerritos for a fee.

It’s a great, clean park overall. Olympic style swimming pool with 1m and 3m high diving boards. The building with the pool also has a small gym that gets crowded in the mornings and right after work hours. It has full size rack of dumbbells and enough weight machines. There is a recreation building with a hall that you’re able to rent out as a Cerritos resident. There are a variety of recreation classes offered and a decent sized kids play room. There’s always park staff inside the recreation building if help is needed.
Two Little League baseball diamonds and one for High school level. Racquetball and tennis courts, 2 basketball courts, sheltered eating areas for parties, track (~5 laps to a mile).
Couple tips:
— I believe there’s a short period (couple weeks) max in renting a shelter/​room out. Call them up and make sure you’re there first thing especially during a weekend.
— Tennis courts usually require reservations (or you get kicked out). Try to bring a Cerritos resident or go to Regional Park where there’s an abundance of tennis courts.
— Level of basketball: Usually two different levels of play. For myself (who does not consider himself a baller), I play at a level enough to hang with the competition but usually on the lower court.
— Lights go out at 10:15 for the basketball courts. Not sure about track/​tennis lights.

Awesome Cerritos park and facility!
There’s a pool, tennis courts, basketball courts, playgrounds, a small running track and lots of green grass. There are also numerous picnic and play areas and they also have an indoor community center available for rental (for parties, ceremonies, etc.).
A lot of community events are held here, from school performances, to city talent shows.
Parking can be a little tough during busy times, but I’ve always been able to find a spot.
And the restrooms are indoors and pretty clean!

Clean park, and great seating areas if you wanna throw a partaaayyy…
My bf’s friends rented out the picnic shelter for their son’s 4^th birthday and it held a large number of people and grub. Plenty of parking on both sides and great for chilling or hanging with the kiddos.

Taking a short break, from writing food reviews here’s my take on a series of Cerritos parks.
Convenient, nearby to one of my local roaming spots. Trained a bit here before I got sick of running around the rubber track, with all the Tai-​Chi folks.
They have a plethora of courts for your choice of activity, and you can even take some dancing classes. Maybe someday I can teach a class here?
