Plummer Park

Family friendly. You may find some people working out, playing basketball or playing cards. There are some homeless people who hang out in the park and use the facilities but I’ve never seen any incidents.

I can’t believe how many people complain about the Russian men playing chess! Isn’t it great? I mean, it gives this park character and better yet — as a women I feel safe.
The park/​jungle gym itself is impeccably cleaned and maintained. I actually work out here at 6am in the morning and see the maintenance team being very thorough in their cleaning every single day.
There are a thousand tennis courts. I don’t play tennis but I think I should take it up.
There are community centers and basketball courts — if you’re a community person you will find something at the park to do!
Also on Monday mornings there is a farmers market. That’s really my only complaint that it’s on Mondays and not the weekend.
People! Stop complaining about this park. It’s great for everyone!

This is my neighborhood park and it’s a decent spot. There is a good bit of parking, and that’s nice. I’ve been to several meeting in a couple of the different facility buildings and they’re adequate, if out-​dated.
There are tennis courts and a walking/​running trail. Relatively clean. I feel perfectly safe walking around here during the day but don’t think I’d do it at night… there are some hidden/​darkish areas and even during the day there will inevitably be a few sketchy characters hanging around. Mostly, it’s older Russian guys chatting and they will basically ignore you, though they do tend to grab the most desirable tables.
It’s a nice spot for a walk or if you want to look into hosting a meeting in WeHo. Nothing to get too excited about. Better than a lot of parks, not as good as some of the newer ones. A-​OK.

A neighborhood gem that’s well maintained and offers something for everyone. The tennis courts are great and easy to book. The grounds are very well maintained — great going city guys. The security staff are present and have moved unwelcome people along. The kids area is always hopping with screaming little buggers. And the Russian guys and their chess. Jeesh.
Cons: There are quite a few crazies that frequent this park. You’ll see them chatting it up with, well, themselves. Also, there are those who seem to really enjoy leaving their trash behind. It’s usually in the area of the picnic tables in the north east corner near a half basketball court. Decks of playing cards strewn about. Empty cig packages, empty cups, food containers. There are freaking garbage cans every ten feet, clean up your damn mess. Idiots.

Ample parking.
Toddler loved the play yard and I love the wood chips (no sand in our shoes).
Very crowded with kids and parents on a Sunday afternoon.
Surrounding grass was not well taken care of. Lots of dirt patches.

Great park to hang out! There’s a little bit of everything. I live right down the street and have been coming here since I was a child. There something to do for everyone. Jungle gyms for kids and basket ball and tennis courts for adults as well as big fields of grass and two easy parking lots. There are even some bars to do pull ups towards the back of the park. Towards the night however there are homeless people occupying the park who make it somewhat unclean however people are always there in the mornings to clean up. Overall it’s a nice park to hang out.

Give only tree stars. Great play area. Too many homeless and half naked people Sun bathing.

Plummer Park has a bit of everything for the family. I love the basketball and tennis courts. Very clean & well taken care of. My 7yr old niece had a fantastic time in the playground! It’s a nice place to walk your dog and get to know neighbors. I love that it has benches all over & a game room inside of the community center. Overall a great neighborhood park to take a stroll in, exercise or simply relax!

Nice park, well groomed courts, friendly natives and clean enough public restrooms. Tennis courts are $ 5 an hour, always ample parking.

Cool park, but please please can the dog owners (that includes the little rat sized ones) please pick up the doggie do!

While visiting Hollywood, my friend and I wanted a break from the traffic and crowds and decided to search for a park. I discovered that Plummer Park was only a couple of miles from our location on Sunset Blvd in West Hollywood and seemed to be the closest park. I had no idea what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised at this relatively normal park tucked into the city.
The best part, in my opinion, is the three hours of free parking. Although I only spent an afternoon in Hollywood, it was long enough to learn that not much comes free in the area. There was plenty of parking on the Friday afternoon.
We set our towels on a grassy area and settled in for a relaxing rest. There was a basketball game on the court nearby and a photo shoot taking place across the way (it is Hollywood, I suppose) but all in all, it was a nice spot to relax.

Looking for a place to play a pick up game of ball, toss around the pigskin or play some tennis? Look no further, Plummer Park is a great option for all of your park needs. Even if you don’t want to come here for some sport playing or other physical activity, it’s a nice, peaceful park with tons of green grass and shade to relax, take a nap or have a picnic or just hang out with some friends and talk.
This place has tons of wonderful parks but Plummer Park has always been one of my favorites. I do believe they allow dogs as well. I can’t remember if I’ve seen a sign or not but I usually see people with dogs here. Just make sure to pick up after them please, I’ve stepped in some doo doo on more than one occasion here.

Plummer Park is not on my favorite list of parks, but it is the closest to my house and when you have a screaming toddler who wants to run around and burn energy well this place seems to be the right fit. I can only speak about the park itself, it is a good size park with a playground for older children and a separate playground for toddlers located next to the preschool. There is a basketball court right next to the playground and tennis courts that are on the other side of the park. There is a recreational center that is only for teenagers along with other halls and center’s for meetings, dances and other personal events.
When I first started coming here about a year ago, this place wasn’t as bad as it is now. And by bad I mean, elderly men taking over picnic tables to play chess and domino’s making people have their picnic in the grass. I don’t mean to disrespect, just that at first it was maybe one table here and one table there, but now they are everywhere and to make matter’s worse, they have also taken over the toddler area which is gated! So if there is any disrespect, it is coming from them. How are mother’s and caretakers going to give their children their snacks or meals? Another thing that I’m not too thrilled about is how there are too many teenagers bombarding the playground area where children play. They jump and run around small kids almost knocking them down. They have a recreational center just for them, why don’t they stay there? Now I look like a helicopter mom to my 21 month old son ;/​
I guess I will have to come earlier when everyone is at school and grampa’s are napping.

It’s a nice park with a basketball court and a few tennis courts. They also have a recreational center and classes for dancing and other activities. You may see a few homeless people in the area as there are lots of them in the city of West Hollywood.
Night time there are lots of groups of older Russian men just walking around, talking playing cards, etc. And people who frequent this park refuse to clean after themselves. Often you’ll paper cups and trash left all over the benches and grass area.

I had time to kill in the area while my car was being fixed. I googled where there was a nice park i could just sit & people watch or read. this was the first one that came up. I walked about a half mile to get to it– so that was awesome. Its clean. relatively quiet, with people playing catch, playing cards and chess etc. When the young school kids got out it was still quiet, even as they played on the playground. I was able to read and stay focused the entire time:)
afternoon well spent !

Totes one of my favorite parks in LA. I love playing tennis so I usually am here for that reason. However, just a beautiful park in general located in one of my favorite areas in LA. Located right off Santa Monica a block east of Gardner, there are tons of places within walking distance from this park if you want to buy some food and come have a picnic with some friends, a significant other or just relax by yourself.
A great place to throw a ball or play any sport you want with your buds. Another big reason I come here a lot is for the playground. No silly, I don’t play on it. I babysit two little boys and this is where I bring them anytime I cave into their begging for me to take them somewhere to play. A beautiful park that always has a great crowd– a group of people doing the same things you are, taking advantage of this beautiful park never overcrowded though.

This Sunday, when there wasn’t an available tennis court at the Beverly Hills Center on La Cienega, we came here. We had a court for 1.5 hours no sweat, cheaper than BH. Apparently on the weekend, you need a court reservation, but on the weekdays, it’s first come first serve.
An interesting mix of people visit this park, from elderly folk playing tennis, to buff guys doing outdoor workouts, to scantily clad transgendered person (I hope that’s the politically correct way to say it, PS. all good in my book).
I’ll definitely give this park a shot again next time I want to play some tennis!

A Russian park in the middle of WeHo.
Good park if you’re an old Russian dude or looking to play tennis.
Awesome park if you’re both.

I did a craft show here a couple times…
it’s the weirdest park ever and much larger than it looks from Santa Monica Blvd.
There are some buildings in the middle… and the restrooms are so clean! A rarity for a park… but something a girl can appreciate.
…
and then in the back there are a whole bunch of old Russian men playing chess and cursing at each other in Russian. So I look around since it was a cold, rainy day and think, am I in Central Park?!
Bizarre!

A fun discovery in the middle of West Hollywood. Adam H. was taking a minute to re-​wash his car (I’m sure for the second time that week) and I got bored watching, so he told me to take a walk. I figured I’d just find some interesting street corners and that would be all. Instead I found lots of green space and picnic tables.
Of course, I probably looked a little stalker-​ish walking around in a hoodie texting/​Tweeting/​Yelping instead of enjoying said picnic tables or green space.
I *heart* WeHo… and not just because of the boys.
