I been running and dog walking in this beautiful legg lake for more than 5 years and my dogs love the place! Is well kept well guarded and running at nite is awesome! Great for kids and family with pets. Plenty of restrooms and portable bathroos as well. Lots of water fountains . only things is really annoying is when people dont have their dogs on a leash. And they get upset when i ask them to get their dog. I have big dogs and we been attacked by little ones often , is very uncomfortable for me cause gotta l struggle to control my dogs so they dont attack back little dogs cause of this issue. DOGS ON A LEASH AT ALL TIMES IS THE LAW

Very beautiful park lots of play area. If you travel a bit further down the park to the other playground area it is very dirty. Someone had pooped on the playground set the day we went. As well as a lot of families leaving their trash everywhere all over the park. Mightve been the area but the park was not very diverse as far as people. There were a few racial slurs spewed but notnloud enough to start a problem. If you are of darker skin I would be careful. Please clean up after ourselves people lets not ruin a wonderful park

Es un parque grande y hermoso con lugares recreativos para los niños pista de bicicletas y juegos con tematicás donde los niños juegan con arena y muchas otras cosas es un buen lugar para estar con la familia y hacer una barbacoa o picnic.

Ill always love this park, and the memories I had as a child here. Sadly though the lake looks like its slowly drying up, there is duck feces on all the trails, and there have been sexual attacks in/near the bathrooms around night time. Also the water is very disguising, and fishing is poor. They fill the lakes with fish, but you can ask most people on the shoreline and theyll tell you theyve caught nothing. I recommend coming to the park "On A Sunday Afternoon". Haha

This is a huge park with big lakes and good wildlife. Seems like they have a number of sculptures that kids would enjoy. I brought my pup and and went nuts running around seeing all the squirrels, geese, ducks and herons. I went during a weekday afternoon so it was not at all crowded but I do not know if that holds true on weekends.

A great place to go birdwatching or to just simply have a great walk with nice natural views. I often come here to watch birds and relax. A word of caution is to avoid the SG River area after a storm because theres a lot of rushing water after a big session of rain. Overall, highly recommended

The best park to go have fishing and picnics with families and plus its wonderful when they have their fares and they have Mexican singers coming from all over the world and thats so wonderful about Whittier Narrows but honestly its like Mexico everywhere you go there there cuz Im Hispanic to

Hugh Park with lakes, wildlife, picnic areas, bike and walking path. Plenty of grass and trees to relax on. The pathway takes you around the lake, nice walk. Pet friendly too. Park is extremely clean, no trash or even dog poop. Also couple of playground areas for kids

Gigantic park with lots of shade and grassy areas. Perfect for a picnic, playing or simply reading a book. Theres bike and boat rentals for a ride through the park or on the lake. Some aread do appear a bit run-down and dirty. Restrooms are filthy.

环境优美,到处都是各种小动物,适合一家大小经常去玩，特别适合手推婴儿车的父母带婴儿晒太阳。

Great place to have quality time with family and friends. Plenty of Parking Available. Beware of dog shit on the meadows. In all, it is a great recreation place to spend your time. I took my girlfriend here on an evening and she loved it.

Brianna Limon

I love this park. To me its the best park. If you are ever going take a bathing suit for kids cause theyre is a little pool for kids. They rent you bikes for 3-10 people. This place is great for birthday parties and has ducks and geese.

Come here to run around the whole park. Very nice and relaxing park and someone of the people if you are a regular begin to conversate with you. They also have there small workout stations throughout the park which I definitely use.

Family Affair 2017 had reservations for E3 perfect spot for reunion clean area clean bathrooms, roomy area for jumper, volleyball etc parking was good $6.00 County employees should park for free must show badge just a suggestion...

Cliff Lamb-Rosas

The non-lake area across the freeway. Much fewer people but also much fewer shaded parking areas. Lots of picnic areas and mature trees. Plus: If youre looking for some quiet back to nature space, this is it. Minus: No restrooms.

Been enjoying this beautifully preserved slice of nature for 40+ years. A cool, relaxing oasis in the middle of a hard, hot, concrete city. I often find myself here when I need to "run away from home". Thank you El Monte!

This place was amazing! Love the vastness and sprawling grassy areas. The parking lot can get a little crazy after 5 or 6 p.m. on a Friday. So get there early. Lots of friendly people walking around in the mornings. :-)
