Hamilton Park

Park Overview

Situated in a tranquil residential corner of Pasadena, Hamilton Park spreads across 6.4 acres of recreational space. This community green offers a peaceful escape where you can breathe in fresh air while taking in breathtaking views of the San Gabriel mountains that serve as a stunning backdrop to your outdoor adventures.

Sports Facilities

If you're looking to get active, Hamilton Park offers several options. The multi-purpose field is spacious enough for an impromptu soccer match or flag football game with friends. Baseball fans will appreciate the three softball diamonds (some locals call them baseball fields), with two fields boasting seating for up to 400 spectators. These fields regularly host t-ball and softball games for local youth.

When the sun goes down, the fun doesn't have to stop - the park features two lighted tennis courts for evening volleys. There's also a basketball court for shooting hoops with your crew. Some locals have taken to using a separate paved area for roller skating, but be aware it has seen better days with a few cracks and bumps to navigate.

Family Amenities

Kids will make a beeline for the playground area with its engaging play structures. The setup thoughtfully caters to different age groups - a jungle gym with slides, swings, and bars for the 5-12 crowd, and a separate area designed specifically for the little ones ages 2-5. A nice touch is the wood chip compost ground covering that stays cool even during Pasadena's warmer days.

Gathering with family or friends? The picnic areas offer covered tables with plenty of shade, making them perfect spots for birthday celebrations or casual get-togethers. Some areas come equipped with sinks, grilling stations, and counter tops - ideal for those bigger events like family reunions that you can reserve in advance.

Park Features

For those looking to get their steps in, a walking trail loops around the park, offering a pleasant route for your daily exercise. Need some quiet time? Find your way to the shaded nature area - it's just right for relaxing with a good book or simply enjoying a moment of peace.

The generous open grassy areas give you plenty of room to toss a frisbee, fly a kite, or simply stretch out on a blanket and enjoy the beautiful surroundings.

Visitor Information

You'll come across all the basics covered with restroom facilities and drinking fountains available throughout the park. Just keep in mind that the restrooms are situated a bit of a walk from the ball fields and picnic spots.

There's a dedicated parking lot on-site, but it can get crowded during peak times. Hamilton Park welcomes visitors daily from 6AM to 10PM, with good lighting in the play areas making evening visits comfortable and safe.
