North Weddington Park

Definitely a great park and recreation center, they always have stuff going on for kids e. g basketball programs, baseball etc. The 2 ladies in the office were super nice and helpful. The park is always well maintained and clean and so is the gym.

Danika is awful at her job as well as customer service. I called 2 hours in advance to ask when there was open gym and she had no clue. She followed up with its on a day to day basis and that there was open time today from 6 to 730 but when I showed up there was all star practice. She didn’t apologize or even think twice that she had messed up not realizing I drove across the valley to work out. I really hope this review finds its way to her and anyone else who speaks to her because she inconsiderate and giving out wrong information.

If I call this the secret park does that make it cooler? Indeed, it is unknown to most and rarely busy. I’ve thrown 3 parties here and only one was in the shade. One I had to relocate due to dirty underwear and ants. Ew. One star deducted.
The playground is adequate and the jogging trail is about a half mile.

I’ll be honest: the only reason I found North Weddington Park was because I was lost. I made a wrong turn looking for thrift shop on Lankershim (give me a break, I was going off of memory), and couldn’t make a u-​turn without going all the way down the street. Keep in mind, this is around 1:30 on a Tuesday afternoon, so there was absolutely no one at the park.
What struck me immediately was how quaint the park was. I can imagine that it gets quite busy on the weekends, and in the later afternoon when baseball practice starts, but when it’s devoid of people, the place is just magical. I parked my car and just walked around the park, and it was absolutely beautiful! I can’t wait to go back during the fall and watch all the leaves change.
All in all, I can imagine this would be a great park to take your kids: a playground, a rec center, baseball fields (private), and plenty of space to run around. If you work nearby, this is a perfect place to take your lunch and just be alone for some time.

I been going to this park for years. Weddington is very clean and well maintained. There programs for kids are good. Some events are kinda pricy, but it comes with the type of area.
Highly recommended for parents to take there kids. I believe, they still have an after school program in the gym for kids to go if there parents are still working, when school lets out. The staff there are great and very dedicated.

A somewhat secluded park — off of Lankershim. It has a sand play area, a gym, and 2 baseball fields that the Toluca Baseball league uses. Also I believe it has a handball and tennis court. North Weddington is a very safe and clean park — I have never heard of or had a bad experience here.

This place was not busy at all. It is so peaceful to sit and meditate while there is no noise other than the birds chirping and the occasional car passing by. The park is well groomed and maintained. Perfect for a picnic or even to go and read a book or play guitar.

this is a great little park. however, be warned… i have encountered a particular douchebag on more than one occasion who clearly considers himself «park cop». his behavior is reminiscent of the water police woman in the curb your enthusiasm episode where the woman tells larry david that he can’t bring his water into the theater, so he obliges and tosses it in the trash to only later discover that she is also an attendee and not an employee of said theater. this guy will aggressively get on your case about not having your dog on leash, where you go with your dog, etc. my advice to these folks is to a) mind your own business or call the cops… but don’t wreck my day (or anyone elses) — and also, what do you think is happening when you aren’t around to police the park? that OHMYGOD little dogs are RUNNING AMOK off leash? oh, the horror! How do you sleep at night? WTF? get a life. my dog isn’t even 16lbs and well behaved– and i am a responsible dog owner who has her on leash around kids or food or any situation where i feel she might not be welcome. gosh, sometimes people suck. in other news, this place is great weekdays during school hours but weekends get crowded but most people are chill. the end.

Small park. Plenty of parking.
The walking trail is about 0.5 miles around the park and there is a small kids playground.
Nothing all that special. If you live in the area, this is okay but it’s not worth going out of your way.

Watching my little princess kami play ball

Jealousy is not a trait to be proud of. Why else would the phrase «green with envy» have such a negative connotation? Sadly though, we all have moments filled with jealous rages. Okay, maybe not a rage but a twinkle of «Why not me?» in our mind’s eye. If North Weddington Park and South Weddington Park were sisters (they are connected), then South Weddington Park (see my review:
) would be the jealous younger sister.
Don’t misunderstand, South Weddington is calming, quiet, with lush greenery for picnics, and even baseball fields galore. However, it is missing a playground, grills, picnic tables, etc. The specific items which some correlate with a «park». Guess who DOES have these things? Yup, you guessed it. North Weddington. North Weddington is the slightly more mature sister causing South Weddington jealous bouts. North Weddington is a great place to eat a picnic lunch (which I did) while watching the kiddos frolic on the playground or have pee wee football practice. North Weddington is slightly louder, which can be expected due to more children running around. Plus, the sound of some odd generator running at a business nearby…
What does the younger sister South Weddington have which in reverse, North Weddington would be jealous of? Ample parking. While South Weddington has enough parking to accommodate to your next park party; North Weddington only offers some spots on the street and a road which leads to the South Weddington’s parking (thus meaning a longer walk with that cooler filled with potato salad).
Overall, North Weddington is a quaint neighborhood park which shouldn’t be looked at a separate entity but instead as a large combo force that is The Weddingtons. Whether you seek the peace and tranquility of South Weddington or the upbeat playground of North Weddington; it is a tour de force!

Nice area green park with a view of the Universal building. Has a parking lot, gym, baseball field, and hand ball courts. Nice for family picnics and small gatherings

I became interested in North Weddington Park after visiting South Weddington Park a few weeks ago. To be honest, I wasn’t very impressed until I noticed a partially shaded slope hidden behind a building, where there were a few people lying on the grass. Further down there was a community garden and a sign warning about coyotes. I ate a cheeseburger on a bench.

I spend more time at South Weddington park but once and awhile hit this park. This past weekend my buddy and I took our ladies and his son to the park to toss some softballs. Thew North park was the better option per the huge playground as his son is only 4. That said, if you don’t enjoy the company or presence of children, don’t plan a quiet day in this park. Head to the South Weddington Park section, just the other side the LA River basin.
This park is only ever quiet in the early AM, but I have never seen it empty. There is always somebody setting up for a baseball game, child’s birthday party, or general park-​like activities.
Getting there is best done with navigation. Parking gets full as we found yesterday, but there are some streets on the North end of the park you can access by going back out to Lankersheim and parking by the school on that side.
All told, solid place to get your active on.

Nice, quiet park tooked away in Toluca Lake area. Home to Toluca Baseball and North Weddington gym. THe gym has one court. Also has back area featuring hand ball court.
