Cerritos Regional County Park

Came here with my best friend because I stayed in bed all day with a cold and I needed to get my 10k steps in haha. We walked along the perimeter and then all the little paths inside, and stopped at the playgrounds of course cause we’re mature adults hahah. Anyway, in total, we got 6600 steps just from our trip here. Prettyyy good

Take my dogs here for a daily walk, they need to get out of jail every once in awhile, right?
This is a pretty good sized park, with a nice lake stocked with fish. There are quite a few other amenities too… tennis and basketball courts, baseball fields, soccer/​football fields, swimming pools (when open), indoor facilities/​gym, etc.
Park is pretty well kept up, lots of grass, picnic and barbeque areas, plenty of trash cans and doggie bags.
as with any other public parks, a few negatives, such as weekend crowds can bring in some out of area knuckleheads. There are some people who feel it is not their responsibility to pick up after their pets… guess they think walk, poop, and keep on walking is A-​OK??? Not in my book, I have 3 dogs, and was not raised in the woods, so it’s just common courtesy to pick up after your animals.
1 other negative, beyond the parks control, is that the lake brings in lots of ducks and geese, and some type of grey bird with a black head and white beak. not sure, but this last type of bird tends to shit all over, and their poo is a green color that blends in with the grass… makes for a lot of nice land mines.
Just remember to bring a blanket because of all the bird poo, or good chance you will be sitting on a lot of it. Also, wipe you feet before leaving too, or you will end up bringing some of it back into the car with you… and worse, maybe into your home.
Nice park to relax in overall

I was here for an event. This park has plenty of parking and great man-​made lake. The staffs were chill. They came by to give our group a large trash bag for our trash since we’re relatively far away from the trashcan.

Grew up coming to Regional Park for swimming at their outdoor pool. Nice to see the pool is still there. Through the years this park has had some changes — there is now a skate park over by the tennis courts and what looks like decorative art features near the Bloomfield street side.
In addition to the pool, a couple of outdoor basketball courts, baseball diamonds, tennis courts, skate park, outdoor gym equipment, covered/​uncovered picnic areas with BBQs, and playground equipment, there is a man-​made «lake» in the center. I believe the City stocks it with fish so you see people fishing here. But srsly the water is gross. It’s so murky and filled with ducks/​geese and their poops that I would think human consumption of any fish caught here would be dangerous. There are lots of wide open areas of grass fields for soccer (my kiddo plays AYSO soccer here) or for people to set up nets and things to play volleyball on.
Note that on weekends it can get very crowded and people stake out their picnic areas early. There is also not a lot of shade at this park, so during Summer or on hot days, be sure to bring your own or be prepared to feel the burn.
Overall, a nice park with much to offer residents and non-​residents alike.

Does anyone knows if there’s a charge to fish or if there’s any fishing license required? Thank you in advance

Great place to take your dog and family there! Very clean park and filled with trees. Definitely coming back!

One of the best parks out there. There is a great running/​walking trail, basketball courts, tennis courts, skate park, 2 outdoor gym sets for seniors and kids, outdoor swimming pool, softball fields, football + soccer fields, and a large recreation center for classes. Cerritos Sheriffs are always patrolling the park and does a great job of keeping out the riff raffs. There is a large pond with plenty of ducks walking around and people fishing for trout.

This is the best park I’ve ever been too. It’s so nice and wide open. Everyone is friendly and positive. There’s a good turn out of people during the mornings. I don’t exercise so coming here and taking a walk is great. The water ponds are nice. I’ve never seen pelicans and I thought it was great. The geese are pretty. Although it would be nice to walk around the lakes, there’s poop everywhere and the aquatic animals can be aggressive so most people avoid walking there. Parking lot is 6am — 10pm.

Great park to get some exercise at. Plenty of parking and never packed. I like to come here and walk with my friend that lives in Cerritos. The park is kept very clean and safe. Plus it has lighting so that makes it a great place to go in the evening to get your exercise on. Enjoy!

We come 3x a week to get some cardio. It’s a very clean parknot too crowdedand it’s just a peaceful atmosphere here with a lot of cool amenities

Great park to walk to and clean. I recommend this park to anyone who just wants to relax and watch some sports.

Lily and i played tennis here, it’s a great park. So many things to do here, walk, soccer, basketball, etc. Tennis courts are way in the back and there are tons of them. Will plan to go out here often. Parking can be challenging at times but there’s plenty of it if you drive a little ways around the corner.

I’ve been coming to this park for as long as I can remember… Even until this day, I always enjoy coming here. Especially for walks/​runs. Whenever I know the gym will just be tooooooo over crowded with people, this is my go-​to park to get a nice run in. Plus… what is better than to be outdoors in nature with fresh air?! =)
This is a pretty big park. There is a very huge lake with a fountain, and it is always nice to run around it. However… there are ducks EVERYWHERE so it would be better to just run/​walk to the side where the ducks aren’t walking around so they don’t get in your way… or we don’t get in theirs. Hahaha.
Always really nice to come and take a stroll. Very peaceful and relaxing. Especially when the sun starts to set… Ah. nothing better than to be outdoors in nature! Yay.

What a beautiful park! ! The lake and fountain make a great centerpiece. There is a little. play gym you can work out with. Note it’s only for the weak haha. It’ll be like lifting chopsticks for you buff ppl. Plennnnty of walkway to run on so you won’t be constantly trying to jog around people.
Lots and lots of flies/​gnats on the west side of the park though.

Beautiful loved this park ! Walked around lake and was such a beautiful walk… everyone we ran into was really Friendly and the park was clean although a lot of bird poop on sidewalk !! I loved that it had a work out station thing too. That was pretty cool. Think this will be my new walking park.

Park itself is nice, kinda dirty and hard to find parking at times but overall a nice park. This review is for the annual Easter event they have there. Really disappointed in the conducting of the egg hunt. They need more signage and definitely people working that can get their point across. Having volunteers speaking softly is NOT going to get the rude parents to not grab all of the eggs and literally rush the field meant for toddlers. Today before the whistle or any start was announced some small toddlers made a break for it and run into the hunt area prematurely. Not a big deal, they are kids. What happened next was the most disgusting thing, instead of being patient the parent all rushed in like a mad riot grabbing eggs as if they were doing such a great thing for their kids. Continued to do so as the kids just walked around in circles and the parents fought for the eggs on the ground following staff with supplemental eggs like rats following a garbage truck. Need more staff, signage and a better thought process for an event meant to celebrate the beginning of spring. Park: 4, Event: 3, People: 1

Lovely Park
This is such a GREAT PARK for walking! If you like to walk and get some exercise OUTSIDE this is a NICE park to do it at!
There are always several people walking, running and walking pets here! Everyone seems really friendly and there is PLENTY of light along the path if you are walking in the later hours!
There is also a Olympic size swimming pool here that you can swim in for a fee during the summer. The pool is completely protected by trained life guards so there is no reason to be afraid!
There is also plenty of parking, basketball courts, a huge pond you can fish in (may need fishing lic), and baseball field. The park is kept pretty clean but some people are nasty and think they don’t have to clean up after themselves but it is quickly taken care of.
The trash cans are NEVER over run with rubbish or ants because they (City of Cerritos) do their best to keep it nice. The grass, trees, and shrubs are watered and manicured and the lights are maintained so there is NEVER a light out for long!
VERY NICE PARK FOR FAMILIES and GATHERINGS, picnicking, bar-​b-​queing and walking your furry friend! PLEASE OBSERVE LEASH LAWS! No one wants your drooling friend running up and jumping all over them. And for PEET-​SAKE PICK UP AFTER YOUR PETS! It’s TOTALLY DISGUSTING to leave your DOG FECES in the grass or walkway where people play and walk! PLUS is spreads germs! IF you can’t, or won’t pick up after your pet then do us all a FAVOR and DON’T GET a PET to begin with! I HATE THAT!
Again off the subject but this is a WONDERFUL PARK! Come for the carnival/​fair or festivities they have here throughout the year!

There was a carnival/​fair here over the weekend with FOOD TRUCKS!
Fun although really crowded! Parking was only a little bit difficult.

I grew up coming to this park for tennis, fishing, family parties and more recently to run and get a good workout at the outdoor gym (2 areas in the park) that uses your body weight for resistance. There are a couple of pull-​up bars too.
This park has a lot to offer.
— Sports Fields and tennis courts
— Swimming Pool
— Indoor and outdoor basketball courts
— Skate park
— Tennis Pro Shop
— Picnic areas
— Jungle Gyms for the kids
— Outdoor gym for the older kid
— Annual fairs
— Central lake for fishing, rc boats, and more.
Quick facts:
One loop jogging around the park is approx. 1.5 miles (based on my gps)
Picnic areas are first come first serve (unless it’s changed since I’ve last partied here)
Security patrols the park.
Coyote Creek Bikeway is adjacent to the park and goes to Seal Beach.

I’ve been working in this city for a couple of years now, but have only found this gem now!
Since it’s summer, I come here during my lunch break to enjoy the sun and read my book underneath a tree: D I’m stuck inside an office all day and I figured I needed some Vitamin D!
It’s very peaceful and quiet when I do come here. There’s a few moms with their children on the playground and joggers jogging around, but nothing to disturb the peace.
From what I’ve seen, this park has tennis courts and gazebos and tables for parties. It’s got a fountain in the middle of the park. The grass is well maintained and green. It offers poop bags for dog owners who don’t carry doggy bags with them.
