Sometimes all you need is a patch of grass and some sunshine. Johnson Park delivers with plenty of open green space where you can spread out a blanket for a picnic, toss a frisbee, or simply lie back and watch the clouds drift by.

Parking Information

A heads-up about parking: options are somewhat limited at Johnson Park. You can find spots along Lakewood Boulevard, but during popular times, these fill up quickly. It might be worth considering alternative transportation if you're planning to visit during peak hours.
