Fremont Park

I’ve been to this park several times over the years, but recently came with my kids while we had an open house session. We had grabbed a pizza from down the street and chose to picnic at this park and allow the kids to play. They have AWESOME play structures here with a few different structures geared towards various ages, but the main attraction is the structure that has super high, fast looking slides. My girls were really excited, but we told them we needed to eat first.
We found a picnic table close to the playground and I noticed they have tennis courts, public restrooms and a lot of areas for picnicking and BBQs. The trees in the park are really mature so they offer a lot of shade. On a Sunday afternoon in early December, the park was not super busy, but did have the occasional birthday party, or group gathering.
Once we had finished eating, my kids were at the playground in lightening speed. The playground area has a mulch flooring and my girls were pretty much on the high slide structure the whole time even though my 3 year old probably should have played on the other 2 structures. My 3 year old found the slides a bit scary, but ended up going on the blue bumpy one once she realized it didn’t go as fast as it looked. She also liked playing around with whatever they have going up the staircase. The other kids at the playground were pretty friendly and my eldest had kids playing with her nearly the whole time.
The area around the park is mostly housing and the streets aren’t busy at all. It’s right off the 134 which is what makes the park loud. There’s no real parking lot so street parking for the most part and can probably get tricky if the park has a lot of people at it. Not a bad option and the kids are already asking to go back!

My 3 and a half year old found her paradise! Huge play structures and slides, places to hide & play, rock walls, swings, & friendly squirrels running around all over the place. Only issue I have is the kids play area is right near a street, but as long as you keep your eye on the littles it shouldn’t be an issue.

Love taking my daughter here! It’s safe and the people seem friendly, for what that’s worth haha

Not fun because you can’t go anywhere without the feeling you’ll be abducted by one of the millions of old men that loiter around there.

Ahhh! Puppies, squirrels, and kids running around! Too much cuteness in one area! I love the Armenian grandparents hangout sessions a lot more.
This is a great park; I used to come here a lot with my cousins when I was younger. When I visited the other day, a lot of wonderful memories came back.
Parking can be annoying, but I’ve never had a problem, and trust me, I have to find the perfect parking spot. So if I’m able to find it, I’m confident anyone else will be able to. :)

A park is what you make it — it is a part of the community. As members of that community we are each responsible for picking up our own trash plus a little more. We can’t expect the city to always clean-​up our messes. Pitch-​in vs. complaining!
This park offers a lot of discovery zones for kids of all ages. I have a 1.5 year old who was a happy tyke exploring all of the play zones. The bigger kids are rambunctious; but they should be — this is a park!
This is a nice asset to the Glendale community; walking paths, tennis courts, lawn, picnic tables and a nice play zone for kids!

This park has a lot to offer. There are tables on one side and frequently there are older men playing chess and checkers. Adorable.
The play structure is large and has an awesome rock wall feature that the kids I have come with LOVE to climb.
There is a good amount of trees so there is plenty of shade on hot California days.

A pretty good park for tennis players — I’ve taken lessons there but the courts need some work from the city at times. Still cheap and many courts.
The kid’s area has new equipment and a crazy tall slide. Kids love it. I’ve seen lunches left alone attacked by squirrels. A park, not always spotless as others say.

The Good
–very big park
–plenty of tables for gatherings with bar-​b-​q stations
–playground area with swings (separated equipment for 2 – 5, 6 – 8, 9 – 12)
–tennis courts
–little kiddie pool that is filled with water in the summer
–bathrooms (although I have never used them)
–basketball court
–rose garden
The Bad
–grass is not taken care of, so there are patches of dirt everywhere
–cigarette butts and trash on the ground is common
–due to a lack of common courtesy and signs, dog poop in the grass is not a rare find
–the playground ground is covered with bark, which is never cared for, so there is trash in it, hair, etc.
I wrote to the city telling them to clean it and to consider getting rid of the bark, but got an automated response that didn’t address my concerns. Since the park is way too dirty for my taste, I take my twins elsewhere (even though I live one block away).

A nice park to go to if you don’t feel like driving out too far. Good sized and conveniently located. It has tennis courts, a half-​court for basketball, a children’s (big and small) playground, picnic tables and grills. Glendale model railroad club is also located here if thats your thing. Well paved paths that go around the park if you want to burn a few calories. Also, it is well shaded all around.
The groups of older men who sit and play cards/​chess give it even a more family oriented feel, as opposed to a bunch of young thugs sitting around smoking weed. My only issue is the restrooms; urinal looks like something out of the medieval ages. Other than that, it’s a nice little park.

My daughter loves this park. It is a great one from what I can tell as well. It is very family friendly. It seems like its a lot more than just a local family park.
There are multiple jungle gyms here. The biggest of these has a cimbing structure with a 2 – 3 story slide! The munchkin absolutely goes crazy to get a chance to race down the two high covered slides. They have a whole bank of swings as well. The swings are for both kids and babies.
Pro Tip: There are lots of picnic tables for a family outing or a simple game of chess.
Be careful as there are wild rodents running around begging for grub. These rodents have giant fluffy tails and most know them as chipmunks. There are also a number of open grass areas. Thus the kids can play soccar football, catch or wutever.
So if your in the area, kick the rugrats out and make them go play…
