Devonwood Park

Devonwood Park is a beautiful neighborhood park. The park doesn’t actually have a parking lot, but offers plenty of street parking. In the Park there is a playground, a dirt patch that is used for a field, and benches. The plot isn’t huge, but is big enough to enjoy a picnic, practice for a sport, or just walk the path around and throughout the park. This park is a great place to relax, throw a party, or just hang out with family and friends.
The first thing that I noticed at the park was the beautiful and plentiful trees everywhere. There is a relaxing feeling when looking at the trees, especially if you are sitting or laying down on the healthy green grass. The playground is the newest addition to the park and adds the extra park feeling to the land. The benches are mostly placed under trees with plenty of shade and the concrete path takes you through the heart of the park. The first scents you can expect to smell are the trees, grass and possibly bar-​b-​q from others cooking or picnicking. The park is very inviting and peaceful, unless you go at nighttime. Their are no lights in the park and would be highly advised to avoid during nighttime.
The few downsides to the park are simple things, for one the park is somewhat small compared to most other parks, which can’t exactly be fixed, but is something to take into consideration. The park is not a safe or inviting place during sundown to early morning. It also would be much better if the street lights that shine more or less on the sidewalk, could be brighter and if lights could be placed within the park itself, especially for late night joggers and people walking their animals from the local communities. The upkeep from the city could be better but isn’t exactly a major issue in the park. The last change that could be considered is security around the park, especially since some local communities are not the safest in the area.
The park is slowly making changes and is definitely family friendly. You can expect to see joggers throughout the day, dog walkers, picnics, traffic in the surrounding streets and even sports teams practicing. Next to the park is residences, and on the back side of the park is the Pacoima spreading grounds. Overall, the location of the park is great and is extremely beautiful, especially during winter. The park, once again, is very inviting, family friendly and is a nice place to have family time, study or just relax.

This is our go to park. Gets pretty crowded in the afternoon so we go in the morning so that we can have the swings to ourselves. The park is pretty quiet in the morning. We also appreciate that there is lots of shade in the park.

I been coming to this park since i was a lil kid its crazy how they remodeled it i miss the old park a lil but its still really nice small and casual

Nice, quiet, little park. No restrooms but a great little park to get out and relax in nature, walk the dog or exercise. Perfect location to hold community meditations, just held one this morn here. They just remodeled the kids playground, looks great, equipped with over head shade for those blistering hot SFV days. Located right off the corners of Devenshire & Woodman… Street parking.

Devonwood Park is small park. There is plenty of green grass, benches, trees, a playground, and a path that loops around. But no other amenities or recreational courts.
It’s clean. I feel safe here. It is on the corner of two major streets but the noise isn’t too bad.
The ice cream truck stops by here in the day and the taco tuck in the night.
There isn’t a parking lot but there is lots of street parking. I think most of the people who come here are locals who walk there.
At night teenage boys hang out here but they don’t look dangerous and I never feel unsafe the few times I’ve passed by them. And honestly, with benches and a taco truck right there, I would live there! or have a night picnic.
There are no restrooms and no fence surrounding the park, but I like it. Feel more open. But I have no kids.

very nice park tucked away in a mostly residential area. has a playground (which could use a little upgrade), with lots of benches nearby. usually clean. the park has no gate, so parents watch out with your little ones. lots of shade, so good to go on a sunny day to cool down. one inconvinience is that this park does not have any restrooms (which im assuming is to discourage illegal activities in the park during nighttime when they park is still accessible because there is no gate).

Needed time to kill, I Unilocaled parks and Denvonshire popped up. Read some of the reviews, checked out the pictures, it sort of convinced me. Since it was close by, I decided to give it a shot.
First, Parking is on the streets. No biggie, since the park is literally on the side of the street.
Secondly, the park is nice and clean; however, no restrooms. Thank goodness my nephews didn’t have to go.
Thirdly, I really wished there was a fence surrounding the entire park.
Other that, this park is not what I experienced when I was a child. This Devonshire park is really awesome! I’m sort of jealous. Rocking climbing? Whaaaatt? A huge rope jungle thing in the middle. Wow! Shade over the playground is always a plus.
I’ll have to tell my sister about this park!

great little park for a simple stroll… with it had more trees but over all it’s clean, visitors are nice, the ice cream truck is stationary & kiddlettes have a blast~ love to hear their laughter!

It’s a nice park. Only major complaint is that there is no fence around the kids area. If you have a toddler like I do you spend the majority of your time chasing them. The park is on a fairly busy corner so why no fence I’m not sure. The equipment is a little old and the play area itself has no shade. It’s close to my house so maybe I’ll go back but chances are I’m on to better parks in the area.

Awesome little spot with swings and slide. A lot of shade. No restrooms which is good. It keeps vagrants from hanging out and keeps it more like a neighborhood park.
** I hope they stop people from playing soccer here. It’s killing the grass and turning it into a dirt lot. It’s not a soccer park. (I like the sport and think that it should be played in designated fields so smaller community parks aren’t ruined)
***Message to LA City: cut the grass more often and please keep up with community parks. Thanks.

I love this park so clean and nice the only downside is there is no restrooms but still a great place to take your kids or a walk

Nice park not as big as other parks but its nice it’s clean parking is not great but it does have a lot of street parking

Lovely neighborhood park Conveniently located Southeast corner of Woodman and Devonshire. This local park boast lots of street Parking and fun activities for family.
