Ruth R. Caruthers Park

Cool little park lived around the corner for a couple years. Loved when they put in the skate park. They have a small workout area and a hand ball court. I like the fact that you can walk a crossed a small bridge to see hole 3 and 4 of ironwood nine golf course. Spent a lot of time there well I was in Bellflower.

On weekends its packed here! Today was first time here on a weekday, its very nice without all the people. Finally walked into the park and found out its not dog friendly. Kinda sad cause my bobo was totally enjoying the park!

The skatepark section is fun, no doubt. The park is kid friendly too. Sometimes some river people wander off the path, not threatening though. Has a kiddy pool (piss pot) when it’s too hot. It has a snack shack and a staff that patrols for trash. It can get really crowded on holidays and big sports tourneys. Don’t mind the horses walking by, it’s Bellflower. Enjoy.
PS– I hate the new camera tower at the skatepark, but, Man, if it didn’t solve their graffiti problem. Props.

The skatepark is the best thing about this park! If you want a good bowl sesh go to caruthers! best bowl within 50 miles I would say! The stair sets are unique so it’s a pretty good park, I skate like 10 miles to get there like 3 times a week!

This place is pretty big and located not too far from the 91 freeway exit at Bellflower, hidden at the end of a neighborhood. The fraternity I’m a little sis for had their 17^th Anniversary at this particular park recently, so I made a stop by here for the first time.
Pros:
_​Big — plenty of grassy areas, along with benches and tables
_​Restrooms
_​Basketball courts
_​Ice cream trucks seem to always be over here — I saw 3 of them roll up at the same time when I was there
_​Playground for kids
_​Parking — lotsss of parking
_​Clean
_​Lots of trees with shade
Cons:
_​No dogs — apparently we aren’t allowed to bring our pooches out here because of careless owners who don’t clean up after their pets. I guess there’s a designated dog park nearby
_​No bounce houses allowed! At the anniversary, we had a lot of alumni with kids and I spoke with some of the bros who were saying they were trying to rent a bounce house for those kids, but weren’t allowed to. Lameeee.
Overall, it was okay. I wouldn’t really go back to it again because it’s a bit out of my way and they don’t allow dogs here.

This park is located in the city of Bellflower just off of the 91fwy & Bellflower blvd. Plenty of free parking available (lot and street) at this park with Spacious grassy areas to picnic and BBQ. There are basketball and tennis courts as well as a skatepark located adjacent to the park. A couple of icecream trucks seem to just circle the park so you can usually satisfy your sweet tooth as well. The surrounding neighborhood has properties w/​stables so it is not uncommon to see horseback riders passing by. Cool spot to chill and have a picnic.

I usually exercise here once in a blue moon, today the moon was very blue. Caruthers Park is known for being gently tucked away in between a suburban residential area, the 91 fwy and the San Gabriel riverbed.
Basketball courts, baseball, open field, swings for kids and benches, just what you expect in a park. While this park is not as huge as the other Bellflower park this one has a skate park. I saw a few dogs out which did not seem a problem to anyone. It was rather quite except for all the people enjoying themselves. I saw a couple of courts with only one or two guys playing, I thought about challenging them but, nah, I am no Michael Jordan.
I spent less time in the park than at the riverbed area, but the park was very usefull as the park is where I park.
