Tongva Park

This is a great park located on Ocean Avenue really close to the Santa Monica Pier. My wife and I walked near this park other times, but this was my first time walking into it. It is great for families because they have slides and splash areas, and there are some great architectural features. I found it very tranquil, and I especially liked the platforms with views of the beach and the pier. It is worth spending time there.

Accidentally stumbled upon this park coming back from the pier to our parking at the civic center. Really beautiful, fun for the kids and plenty of shade. Definitely check it out if you're in the area. Would be a lovely place for a picnic. Very well maintained.

Super Impressed with how clean this area is! It’s a small but fun little playground. Lots of walking areas and the Santa Monica Pier about a block away. There was a small water play area but it wasn’t turned on. Super clean and monitored bathrooms are a plus.

A good use of space between the Santa Monica City Hall and the pier. On crowded Sundays, we’ve parked by the City Hall and walked thru this pretty park to get to the pier and beaches. We’ve even stopped here to eat our take-out’s from a nearby restaurant, and then watched the sunset! The exotic desert plants were very well maintained. There were trash containers strategically placed, encouraging users to pickup where they left off! The grounds and restrooms are well kept. The artsy design of objects, seating areas and bordering made for a unique park setting, as well as the playground structures and mildly inclined, simulated (soft) rock climb steps, placed for kids to play on. Families with children were playing here, despite a small homeless presence, tho they didn’t seem to be bothering anyone. I did see surveillance cameras mounted here and there, instilling a sense of normalcy in an otherwise uncertain environment. After all, this is a great little public park for everyone to enjoy!
