Ok. Too many homeless have access because they're are holes in fence line.
Never saw anyone picking up after their dogs. Caution if ya go there!

It's a nice area not too big, and there is a play set and two ways to walk, around the parking lot not that big but street parking is available as well I was on my lunch and parked ate and enjoyed the view.

It's okay, but there are some trash and homeless people around. That's not fun at all when they drink alcohol in front of your kids (

very beautiful flowering trees, there is a playground and a basketball court, a barbecue area, benches and a lawn. the only big minus is the noise from the freeway and I think it’s very unsafe for children, the fence has been broken for a long time and nothing blocks the exit to the freeway, I hope they will pay attention to my post. the local municipality will build a brick barrier to keep life safe.

I like: trees, lawns, solid play equipment. Fairly clean. Basic slides, swings, and "rocks" to scramble over and free-play. Nothing fancy.
Don't like: No restrooms (though I understand) not a lot of tables, often people parked, laying on the grass, or hanging around that seem suspicious. Take from that what you will, but we've been randomly approached a couple times by people who didn't ask for anything, but still came off as overly-familiar.
It has a small, but not busy, parking lot. It's entrance is right at the sharp turn onto Palm. Keep an eye out and use signals, and just be aware of your surroundings, Like any park, really. Its not like it's SF or Oak Park...but there's a large population of people who aren't housed in the area.

The park itself is not that nice. Right next to the freeway BUT this is a historic place. Walegra used to be a temporary Internment camp ( Assembly center) for Japanese Americans who are incarcerated during World War II after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Around 5000 Japanese Americans we’re held here for a few months until they were sent to permanent interment camps. The conditions were pretty deplorable as they were forced to live in poorly made structures with no bathrooms. There is a monument that recounts this dark time in history.
