Memorial Park

Peaceful Urban Retreat

Tucked slightly off Garey Avenue in a residential area of Pomona, Memorial Park offers 2.21 acres of green escape from city life. This neighborhood park offers a relatively quiet setting where locals can catch their breath and enjoy some outdoor time.

Natural Shade and Open Spaces

One of the first things you'll notice are the mature trees scattered throughout the park, creating perfect shaded spots for when the California sun gets a bit too enthusiastic. The grassy areas spread between these natural umbrellas make ideal spots for throwing down a blanket and enjoying a good book or casual picnic.

These green spaces aren't vast, but provide enough room to stretch out and disconnect from the urban surroundings.

Play and Recreation Options

If you've got kids in tow, the playground area comes equipped with both a jungle gym and swings where the little ones can burn off energy. The setup is simple but gets the job done for families looking for an outdoor play option.

For those seeking more active pursuits, the basketball court provides space to shoot some hoops or play a pickup game with friends. Nothing fancy, but a solid spot for getting in some exercise or friendly competition.

Picnic Possibilities

Hungry? The park offers two picnic tables nestled under shade trees, making meal time comfortable even on warmer days. If you're in the mood for some outdoor cooking, two small grills are available for barbecuing - well-suited for cooking up some burgers or veggie skewers while enjoying the fresh air.

Community Connection

What makes Memorial Park special is how it is a gathering place for the community. You'll come across a mix of people here - families with children, individuals taking a peaceful stroll, or friends meeting up for a casual hangout.

The park is also pet-friendly, so you can bring your four-legged companions along for walks. Just remember to clean up after them to keep the space pleasant for everyone.

Practical Amenities

Public restrooms are available on-site - always a plus for longer visits. There's also enough parking to accommodate visitors, making it easy to stop by even if you don't live within walking distance.

Dotted across the grounds are some memorials that add a touch of historical significance to your visit, giving the park its namesake and a sense of connection to the community's past.
