Encino Park


Last week the family and I picked up some dinner and headed over to Encino Park! I was let on to this park by a good friend of mine, Shauna! And it is a really cool park! Right off Ventura Blvd this grassy, shady picnic spot is perfect to unwind after a long day of work and just let the kids run around!

















Great (looks like newly updated) playground

Pros and Cons

Pros
Public Bathrooms
Gated Playground (No escaping children!)
Lots of Picnic Tables
BBQ 
Clean

Cons
Metered Street Parking Only

From a Parent's perspective this is a great, safe place to park. Just make sure you pay the meter and keep a timer because like all of LA, the meter nazis are on this place. The gated playground is awesome knowing you can just sit back and watch your kids play without fear of them running into a street or wandering off too far.

From a Kid's perspective, what's not to love? I mean, your parents make you sit down and eat dinner while watching all the other kids have fun on the playground, but once you've finished your vegetables you're free to go! The playground is fun, the open grassy field is great for playing tag and kids don't care if there's only an old tire to play with, being outside with mom and dad is where it's at!

Address: Encino, CA 91316 (Across the street from the Stand)
