Kiwanis Park

Park Overview

Found in Pomona, California, Kiwanis Park spans a cozy 5 acres of community greenspace. This little urban space provides a quiet area where locals come to unwind and play. The park has a laid-back, quiet atmosphere - a family-friendly spot with fewer crowds than larger parks in the area.

Facilities

At the heart of the park sits a community center that hosts various local programs and events year-round. Parents, take note: there's an after-school program for kids ages 7-17 run out of the center - a helpful resource for families in the area.

If you're bringing little ones along, the playground area provides a safe space for them to burn off energy and make new friends. The play equipment includes two slides and a set of swings that accommodate both toddlers and older children. Just a heads up - you might spot some graffiti on parts of the equipment, but it doesn't affect the functionality.

Basketball players can shoot some hoops at the half basketball court - it's nothing fancy with just one hoop, but great for a casual game or some solo practice.

Amenities

Packing a lunch? You'll come across several picnic tables scattered across the park, many tucked under shaded areas that provide welcome relief on sunny California days.

The park also features barbecue facilities if you're in the mood for some outdoor cooking - great for impromptu weekend gatherings or celebrating special occasions with friends and family.

Beyond the dedicated facilities, there's plenty of open grassy space for running around, tossing a frisbee, or simply lounging with a good book. A simple dirt trail winds through parts of the park, making for a pleasant walking route. And yes, you can bring your four-legged friends along - the park is dog-friendly, however you'll need to keep them leashed during your visit.

Parking and Accessibility

One thing to keep in mind is that parking is quite limited here. There are only a few spots available along the roadway within the park, so you might need to park nearby and walk in during busier times.

Important Notes

A couple of practical things to be aware of before your visit: despite what some listings might suggest, there are no public restrooms available at the park. Also, while there are drinking fountains, they aren't always well-maintained, so bringing your own water is probably a good idea.

Management

Kiwanis Park falls under the care of the City of Pomona Community Services Department's recreation division, who maintain this modest but charming neighborhood green space.
