Love walking through this park in the early morning. The trails above the park are a quick cardio workout. The views are very serene.

A great park in Pasadena near the Rose Bowl. It is clean, huge, and not overly crowded. Not to mention, it has a pirate ship in the playground for kiddos to play. Love that it has a lot of shade and picnic tables/benches throughout the...Read More

A couple of times a year music festivals take over some of brookside and host a lot of vegan options. Mostly on the golf footprint but the entire surrounding area gets congested. Love the food and music coming to Pasadena. Happy Munchies, @aVeganAndHer

Beautiful, well-kept park. Great for recreational activities with the family. As far as I could tell, everyone was respectful of social distancing and wearing masks, even while active. Looking forward to coming back.

Best park around. Everything from huge lawns to run on, playgrounds, baseball fields, trails to walk , even swimming pools. Bring a bag a charcoal and some ribs eyes too, because they have grills. We've seen huge owls at sunset. Best park!

This is BY FAR one of my favorite parks in the neighborhood. It’s always well maintained, clean, multiple water fountains, plenty of space for picnics, a lot of trees for shade, and plenty of parking. One of the happiest places for my pup in pasadena!...Read More

As it is with The Rose Bowl Stadium, this park is also down in the same beautiful valley! I’ve enjoyed good times here having picnics and hanging out just prior to the games. Folks gather round for tailgate parties and make it a good time fun place...Read More

I feel like I barely scratched the surface of this beautiful and spacious park. One of the few places in the LA area where I feel surrounded by nature on all sides, despite knowing Pasadena and LA proper lie just beyond the tree line
