Hollenbeck Park

Park Amenities

Spread across Hollenbeck Park's grounds are inviting green spaces ideal for lounging with a good book or tossing a frisbee around. These grassy areas make ideal spots for family get-togethers or just soaking up some vitamin D. If you're planning a picnic, though, you might want to arrive early - while there's plenty of lawn to spread out a blanket, the actual picnic tables can be in short supply.

Sports enthusiasts will find plenty to love here. The four pickleball courts are usually buzzing with activity, especially on weekends, where players of all skill levels welcome newcomers to join in. There's also a well-maintained baseball field (complete with a snack bar that fires up during summer games), a basketball court for pickup games, and a soccer field with sturdy goalposts that won't wobble with every goal.

Recreation Features

Thanks to recent renovations, the park now boasts a cushioned walking track that circles the entire perimeter. The slightly padded surface makes this path particularly knee-friendly for walking, jogging, or running - a thoughtful touch that regular exercisers will appreciate.

Dotted along this walking path, you'll discover various outdoor exercise equipment stations. While they're primarily designed with adults in mind, these fitness spots are open to anyone looking to mix some strength training into their cardio routine without being cooped up in a gym.

Playground Area

Kids are in for a treat at Hollenbeck's newly renovated playground. The main play area caters to children ages 5-12 with all the climbing, sliding, and swinging equipment they could want. The swing sets include specialized options for children with special needs - a thoughtful inclusion that makes the park more accessible to all families.

Little ones haven't been forgotten either. A separate area features appropriately sized equipment for younger children, including a small slide and interactive play features that will keep tiny hands busy. Parents can breathe a bit easier knowing the playground is outfitted with impact-absorbing flooring to cushion inevitable tumbles.

Community Services

Beyond recreation, Hollenbeck Park is a community hub. The Parks & Recreation office located on-site makes it easy to get information about local programs and sign up for activities. All year long, they organize youth sports programs that bring neighborhood kids together.

The park hosts a Girl Scouts center on the grounds, providing a space where young people can connect and grow. For Covina residents, this makes the park not only a place to play but also a gathering spot for the community.

Facilities

There are restrooms equipped with a modern water bottle filling station - though cleanliness can be hit or miss, particularly after busy game days. Parking is generally plentiful, with even more spaces available during baseball games.

The park welcomes visitors daily from 6AM to 10PM, accommodating early birds looking to start their day with fresh air as well as evening visitors squeezing in some recreation after work.
