Mayfair Park

I grew up going to Stephen Foster Elementary school, so I grew up with this park. I played softball and volley tennis for years I learned how to swim at Mayfair Pool.
As a mom it’s been a trip to watch my kids play and run around the same part I used to when I little. It also makes me look at the park little differently-​especially now that I have done a lot of comparing to parks all over So Cal, being that I have three small children who love to explore new parks… and often.
I think one of the highlights of this park (for those of you out there with young children) is the waiting pool in the summer. It tends to be open more often than the other waiting pools of the other parks. My kids love the sprouting mushroom. I also like that this park has two playgrounds– one for younger kids or toddlers and one for the bigger kids.
I also love the pool. They keep it clean. Lastly, for those of you that don’t want to swim the whole time (don’t blame ya) there’s a side area of grass perfect for sunbathing… and for parents, a good place to keep an eye on your little ones.
Enjoy!

One of our favorite parks, especially during the summer when the wading pool is open for Free!

Many of our family and friends have parties held at this park, outdoors and their recreation rooms. The staff has never given us issues in booking rooms and they’re cheap! They charge hourly an depending on which room (size), it depends. The rooms come with a kitchen so when we get catered, it’s easy access for everyone.
The park itself is huge and grass is always green! The playground is new and is always clean. If ever you’re in the area, check out the park and chill. I’ve definitely grabbed lunch elsewhere and ate ‘em at this park. Trust me, it’s a safe park.

I really enjoy coming to this park. The pool is by far my favorite. It’s always clean and it’s not so crowded. Also there’s a really nice grass area where you can sit and enjoy a lunch or read a book. This is a great environment for all ages.

I can’t actually comment on the park itself. I came here on a rainy day for my godson’s 1^st bday celebration in one of the rooms available. It was spacious and clean. In order for you to rent out this room, you have to be a Lakewood resident. The rental fee of the room I was in was less than $ 40/​hour. I’m not sure how it is compared to other park room rental fees, but it sounds pretty fair to me, especially given how spacious the room was!

Probably the best local park i have been to. Has an attraction for every type of person i think. They have an area for soccer, baseball, basketball, a pool, and the best kid playground I have ever seen. Its soo fun, i even play with my niece nephew and daughter. They even have a seperate toddler playground for the smaller kids which is great! I absolutely love this place. The parking is no problem, they have a lot for every side of the park. A lot of people come to this park, its a great recreational area in lakewood/​long beach.

I love Mayfair Park and walk my dogs through here all the time. The pool open from memorial day to labor day was remodeled last year. The tennis courts were remodeled this spring. The playground was redone this year too. This place is always clean and well kept. The toddler playground is closed to the public at times during the week.

I absolutely love this park.
it Can get crowded, but shelter is a reserve first come basis, only if your a Lakewood resident.
they have upgraded their playground, ample parking near the toddler area and on the street.
Employees are very helpful, and they come around with black bags for your trash. We have had several Parties here (when its over 50ppl).
no parties at the toddler shelter bummer, but that would be great. Kids love coming here. they have a few carnivals throughout the year. Just to name a few
Pan-​Am, Halloween, Candy lane crafts etc. Candy is cheap I have to say during the halloween carnivals, Paramount Park has better candy :) (just saying)

We had a wedding reception here. Nice venue, as the ambiance includes reflections off the pool.
I walk here from time to time. I would appreciate it if they had a trail, versus me having to go from sidewalk to grass to cut baseball diamond to…
Overall, clean and nice.

Park is clean the pool is awesome just got redone last summer had my daughter birthday there they let you rent out the pool
The classes they have are good go see Evelyn for the abs buns and thighs class she is awesome

Mayfair park is our go-​to park for basketball. They have 3 full courts here and usually have some people playing. It’s usually not entirely full, but can be on some weekends. It’s popular enough for pickup games and what not. Nice convenient location for 10+ of us to meet at because it’s almost in the middle of all of us.
Couple issues: rims are double rimmed, so your shots might not bounce your way as you’re used to. Secondly, the lights don’t seem to turn on at a certain hour. We also can’t seem to find out where to do it, if they allow us to control that. Either way, this could be improved. Also the fences around the basketball courts could be higher so the ball doesn’t bounce over.
Other than basketball, there is tremendous amount of green space for soccer, baseball, and recreation. They also have a baseball field that’s fenced off, paved diamond, etc.

Have come here off and on throughout the years. They have a pool and a rec. room a couple baseball diamonds and a small water play area that opens during the summer for the small ones. But in the past few years what has brought me back is the Halloween carnival.

I grew up playing soccer at Mayfair Park. The Park itself is fairly large with a playground facility, tennis courts, ample parking in multiple lots and a full swimming pool.
The park itself is green and open and large enough to accommodate family activities. It host many soccer games during the season and is a great venue to play. The tennis courts are very nice and the pool is kept up very well and makes for a nice option during the hot summer months (although you cannot use floaties which may turn off some with small children).
The playground areas are a bit small and lacking (small kids playground & larger kid playground) but both are ample enough, there is also a playground at the elementary school across the street that if open would be good to use. They hold carnivals and boutiques here quite often and are always organized well. I would recommend checking it out if you are in the area. It will not blow you away with it’s amenities but is a good park nonetheless.
200^th Review!

This is my local park and I must say, it is awesome. The park is very big and has a lot to offer. There are basketball courts, baseball diamonds, areas of grass to play soccer, picnic tables, jungle gyms, trees, and of course, a pool. I’ve never been to the pool, I don’t believe in paying money to swim in children’s urine but I’ve heard good things about it. I come here to chill with my pup and workout. I’m always impressed by how clean and pretty the park is. They do a superb job maintaining it.

This is a pretty large park with a great playground facility. It’s sand (blah), but large enough to accommodate the many kids who are here throughout the day and in the evenings. Especially for toddlers, there’s a tot playground area and an older kid playground area. I like them both because they’re close enough to the street (but the toddler area is gated off) that you don’t have to walk forever to get from your car to the play equipment.
There’s also swimming lessons and water aerobics held at the pool here, as well as a wading pool for younger kids.
Like most parks, it has a community room that can be rented. We recently went to a birthday party here — it’s pretty much a typical park community room, although apparently they have very strict rules about decorations, etc.
Be forewarned: the older kids here can be rowdy — but they’ve always been friendly to me and my 18-​month-​old when I take the time to talk to them.

My almost 3 year old and I went to Mayfair Pool yesterday. Reasonably priced and very clean and new facility! One side of the pool is 2.5 feet deep, so my son was able to stand and run around. After leaving the pool, we noticed an awesome wading pool area on the other side of the fence. It is free to go there and my son thoroughly enjoyed himself! Next time I will skip the pool and go straight to the wading pool. Tip– If your child cannot swim, bring a life jacket! They do not accept floaties nor do they rent lifejackets.

Love this park. the park staff is super nice and accommodating :-)

Can’t really give too many stars. I came here for a baby shower inside of the swim pavilion room. Typical set up.

Nice park, clean, couple of bathrooms. My son has soccer practice here. There is a couple of softball fields, a pool, small parking spot. It’s a park.

Agh! Of all the parks in Lakewood, I would diagnose Mayfair with Bi-​Polar disorder. Sometimes this park is perfect! It has a pool with a separate wading pool that has a giant mushroom, fountain thing and it can be great fun! However, SOMETIMES local daycares and after school programs bring massive amounts of children and leave them fairly unsupervised. Which leads to overcrowding, fights, misuse of equipment and unsanitary behavior. YUCK!
The park itself has a gated off toddler section as well as an older kid section next to it… sounds beautiful right? Not really, because SOMETIMES the gated off part of the toddler section is taken over by some parent-​run daycare and they will literally stop you at the gate and will not let you in! Also, about 20% of the time at the older kid section, it has been taken over by teenagers, who for some reason are compelled to drop F bombs at a rate of about every 3 words.
The bathrooms are disgusting 100% of the time and I have found needles on the floor. I would never make solid plans to come to this park. I would say, «Let’s go to A park» and then drive by Mayfair to check out it’s condition before committing. If you want a solid park, I would go down South St. a little ways to Liberty Park.
