DeForest Park - Park in Long Beach - 6255 De Forest Ave, USA

Overall a great park. There is a nice little dog walk/ jogging trail on the north side of the park, as well as a playground and exercise equipment. There are also pickleball courts and other sport fields and a paved path that runs all the way from one end to the other for running or roller blades or what have you. There is also a nature preserve area that you can take a walk through, but the path is a little rough. It's worth mentioning the southern part of the nature preserve (where the path goes under a bridge) has, at the time of this review, been taken over by the tents of unhoused people. Not a huge deal since you can just cut through one of the small paths to complete your circuit so you don't have to walk through their camp. Honestly better than other parks I've been to where the tents are in the playground or right in the middle of the common areas of the park.

The park clean and the nature trail was nice for the most part. The only suspect thing was once the sun began to set…strange people were in and out of the nature trail. Playground area was nice as well.

Great park. Parts of it feel like a wilderness. There are nice walking path where you'll see nature in many neat settings such as mini ponds, dirty ground, wilderness and wooden walk bridges.

Nice place to visit some nice cool areas you can sit. Interesting to go up the stairs and see the waterway. But the marshland has a lot of trash and really should be cleaned up, that way maybe more birds and animals will come to visit there.

It's a good place to take the kids it's all kinds of activities for them don't forget enrol them in baseball soccer n other things so go you be glad do it for the kids because kids that are happy grow up to be good professionals and they will keep their kids busy you want your kids to grow up to be good people I'm sure you want the better then be in gangs I was never took me anywhere I know they need attention listen to them and you will see I know I was one of the ones in the streets come on parents let's keep them busy

It is a nice park but there were lots of people just parked on the street that looked very undesirable I wouldn't bring my kids there or go by myself
