Smith Park

Worst place to play basketball great place to daytime but a 6 or 7 that’s when they play full court whenever they want to

I love this place for a weekday BBQ. Tennis courts are usually open, but the people playing basketball can get rowdy, and kids smoking cigarettes should be shooed away if you’ll bring your kids.

Small park with limited offerings but great for a small gathering. They have two tennis courts, a basketball court, and a swimming pool where local high schoolers have meets

Awesome park to hang out. There’s a bunch to do, whether your bringing your kids or going your self. Basketball courts, handball courts or open grass fields whatever your looking for. Summer time pool time as well.

Smith Park is a nice little park located in San Gabriel. In my opinion, its definitely easy to miss because its located within a small street on Del Mar. Smith Park may look small, but they have handball courts, 1 full basketball court, and a small volleyball net located on the playground in the far back of the park. They also have a nice little swimming pool too. Definitely worth checking out!

Local park, nice outdoor pool and tennis courts.

Best park for me to play basketball

As stated, this park is a cute little park that’s been around forever. It has a basketball court and handball courts. The only problem with handball courts is it does draw a big crowd of riff raff and cholo’s and gangsters, who of course, love to play handball.
The swimming pool isn’t bad. Pretty big. The bathrooms definitely need some updating though! I can’t speak on the girls restrooms though. There’s only 2 showers in the boys bathroom, so it’s almost impossible to take a real shower after swimming, especially if there’s a lot of other people/​kids waiting.
The staff at pool are also pretty poor. I understand that most of the time, they’re just kids (mostly high school kids), but they definitely need some training. Parents, be very careful when you take your kids there for swimming classes. The «lifeguards» (who are also kids) aren’t even watching the kids half the time, but instead are laughing and talking and joking around with the other staff and other kids who work there. They need to be paying attention to the kids at ALL times! Very unprofessional! And they have this stupid rule where the parents can not stand by the pool, and have to stand outside behind the fence while class is in session. So you can not rescue your kid if you have to.

It’s summer, so come join the fun at Smith Park on Broadway in San Gabriel. The pool is open and in full swing, so if you or the kids are looking for a swim class, you can join me! it’s time to sign up. All levels, including Saturdays available. Classes are 32.00 per cycle. (July 16 — July 27 is the start date and then July 30^th — August 10^th for the set of classes.. So, if you already swim, just use the pool between 1:00 pm — 3:30 pm, Monday thru Sunday/​A family season pass (6 people) is 70.00. Great value!
I just love this local park,. If you are not into swimming, how about a lazy, relaxing picnic, or a game of tennis. Lot’s of shade trees for the hot days ahead.
One thing you parents will love. The gates are locked in front during the day near the pool area, for the safety of the children, so you must enter around the tennis courts. Sometimes, you might get lucky if the staff notices and they will open the gate.
Time to go have that cook-​out!

This is a nice small park in a tranquil neighborhood.

I am surprised no one wrote a review here. This is a wonderful small park packed with great facilities. I came here before sunset and it was so lively around here. People swimming, playing tennis and volleyball, children in the playground, old man sitting around, couples spending alone time, people walking alone or with their dogs. The people are unusually pleasant and friendly around here, even after dark. I like the dolphin and whale statues they placed on the grass. I am really surprised at the pleasantness this park brings.
