Verdugo Park

very relaxing park next to GCC — usually empty and nice place to walk your dog or just walk yourself — nice greenery everywhere

If you like sycamore trees like me you will love this park.
This is the perfect place to walk your dog on a warm summer day because there are plenty of mature trees.
It is also one of the largest parks in Glendale along with Crescenta Valley Park.
There is a skate park, baseball field, little kids area, bathroom and plenty of places to park.
It’s really close to Glendale Community College as well.

Had our kids’ annual school picnic here. We usually have it at Elysian Park but so glad that we had it here. Plenty of benches close together made it great for our large group. The playground area was great for the little kids and for the older ones too. Can’t wait to have it here again next year.

Awesome place for a movie with street food cinema! Really clean which is always a plus with parks!

Beautiful park in Glendale that has baseball fields and good amount of parking. Lots of group parties and birthday parties here. They have a good play area for kids. Free parking on weekends, otherwise they have metered parking. Good place to have a picnic if you are having a group get together or even just to visit with the family for an afternoon picnic.

If its one thing this park needs, it is to bring the carnival back !!

How can you not love Verdugo Park? It’s such a cute park. It has a baseball field, with a huge place to BBQ and do picnics. They have a play groups and. Skate board ground. There is this one unusual tree there that is something to so. I have been going to this park for years now and I can’t wait to have kids and take them here!

Awesome big park in Glendale! Clean and conveniently located. Great for family and group gatherings

This is a great park to hang out!
Close to GCC and a good spot to meet up with friends.

This is right across from Glendale Communittee College, so I come here often if I ever want to sit down and just do some relaxing.
I have never used the skate park, because I don’t know how to skateboard, but let me tell you one thing: It tempts me to learn how to skate so I can make use of the skate park!
The gated baseball field is tricky to reserve. Usually, you can reserve the open softball field from the sporting complex, and play over there!
There is plenty of room to have big games of soccer, football, softball, etc! The park isn’t as crowded in the fall-​winter season, so make use of it!

I love all parks and this one is one of those parks. I like to walk with my lil puppy. It is calm peaceful and bright.

This is a quaint park located directly across from GCC. Maybe it was a slow weekend, but we pretty much had the place to ourselves. The picnic reservation rates are reasonable and parking meters are not enforced on weekends. The picnic areas already have tables and benches so you don’t need to bring your own outdoor chairs. There is a playground for the little ones and a skate park for those into skateboarding although word is that it may be shut down due to budget cuts. The area is well lit after sundown. Restrooms are mostly clean. No sketchiness to deal with.
My only gripe has to do with the parking stalls — they’re too small. If you have a big truck and you’re hauling a lot of party supplies expect to be over the lines.

Nice big beautiful park=perfect for a picnic. We’ve had our company picnic here a few times and it’s always been great, lots of room for eating, playing games however the only downfall paying for parking. BOO!

Nice park. Nice trail to run and great spot to chillax!
You can reserve tables with the city which is great if you are hosting a large party!
I appreciate this park and all it has to offer my community. Just clean up after yourself; and if some trash breezes past you — throw that away too!

I used to come here a lot back in the days when I was going to Glendale Community College across the street… I remember back in high school when the carnival took place here… Damn, I hated The Zipper ride…
I came back here recently because of my friends daughter’s birthday party. The park changed a lot since then… They placed a children’s playground with sand boxes right beside the basketball court, a skate park for all your skaters out there, added more benches to throw a party in the park…
Lots of improvements to road and pavement constructions. They still have the baseball field on the other side, small trail for hiker fanatics, and the soccer field… Lots of dog lovers walk their best friend along the area to play catch.
Plenty of parking for many visitors. Be careful if you visit here in the evening other than doing power walks or running, there’s a lot of cops strolling by to site you and will kick you out. .
If I still lived in Glendale, my dogs would love to chase squirrels here…

Beautiful park. full of trees and very peaceful. Some could say a nice final resting place. Great for meditation!

Been coming here since I was a child, not only is the park huge, there’s a skate park and a huge party area there.
There’s also a hiking trail you can follow that will take you up to the mountains, and you can see all of Glendale up there.
1−2−3−4−5 stars!

This is a very cool little park and a perfect spot to «get away» for a few without having to go way out of the city.
Great for kids with its playgrounds and sand. Good for dogs to run around and do their business in. Superb for skaters as they offer a full blown skate park all the way at the end of the park to the left. Or, just nice enough for a late night stroll with your SO.
From what I have been told, this park has been here a long time and changed some over the years. But the size of this park is perfect for a jog, walk, run with the dog, or just for a little get-​away. Great trees and green grass make the experience enjoyable on many levels.
So grab a coffee or a friend and take a stroll!
NOTE: If you are going for a late night visit to participate in anything other than «walking» :D, be warned of the police that occasionally roll through this area.

Large Safe: dog friendly, children friendly, adult friendly park
parking lots, street parking, several sand boxes and playgrounds, plenty of tables and benches, restrooms, hiking up the mountain, basketball court, bent deciduous trees great for climbing and sitting in. oh yeah and you can’t forget the children’s’ vertical metal rocket if that thing is still there. it’s dangerous fun as a child

My dog and I visit this park because it’s big and there is a lot of green grass. I love letting my dog run free and watch him chase after his ball, followed by a wresting match. He always wins.
There are two play areas for the children and my dog (he loves the slides but not the swings). There is also a ball field, basketball court, and indoor skating area.
I love to relax here, go for a walk, or have a picnic any day of the year. The only problem is, most every time I bring my dog he gets a strange reaction, like a dry cough. I believe they use pesticides around the trees. We try to avoid the trunks and he seems to be much better.
In the summer time, there is a kids camp, live concerts in the evening, and plays too. Check what days they’re held before you attend.
Parking is plentiful in the back lots or on the street. Bring change just in case.
Go out, have fun, and enjoy yourself at the park.
