Poinsettia Recreation Center - Park in Los Angeles - 7341 Willoughby Ave, USA

Update: 1/23/24 I'm informed the fencing was extended and the new tents have been removed. 1/16/24 Tents are returning unfortunately. Right next to where the fencing that was put up ends. This is what a mess our city Hollywood has become. We're told we need more housing but we also need something in between - empty spaces to use for "rough camping" where we can provide services such as sanitation, mental health, housing and more. We can't continue to live like this, encampments are ruining our neighborhoods and our businesses and our quality of life. 1/11/24 Encampments have been cleared, using the mayors Inside Safe program. And the sidewalk fenced off to prevent them from returning. Of course those who don't participate with mayors program unfortunately will simply move to another sidewalk in Hollywood. 12/26 Neighbors and park users have united to get their council member involved to resolve this encampment issue. But other than occasional cleanups nothing's being done here to house the homeless - if anyone them are interested. Unfortunate how the nearby encampments are ruining our parks. It's as if no one cares about the safety of our neighbors & local businesses.

They finally reopened the gym for early runs Monday and Wednesday mornings from 9 am to 12 pm. Hopefully more people show up to the runs on Monday. Wednesdays get pretty good runs. Great gym for a quick morning hoop session before work

Love taking my dogs here. Friendly off leash open space where doggies can run free and have fun while the humans can chat and exchange stories about their furry kids :)

We used to play with our dogs here all the time. Now the baseball field is blocked off and there's no room to play. I saw a new outdoor workout area though. Very small space.

It's a great park, well kept, with a playground for kids, basketball courts, tennis courts, shaded park benches, baseball field and it is on-leash dog friendly.

A beautiful park to play adult team sports. 🏀⚾⚽🏈 The weekends are filled with youth sports leagues and watching dedicated pro tennis hopefuls swing for the gold! 🎾

Poinsettia Park in West Hollywood is a cool, chill spot where there's something for everyone. It has lots of space and a bunch of activities to do. If you're into sports, there are tennis and basketball courts and baseball fields. There's also a walking track if you're up for a jog or a leisurely stroll, with various gym equipment spaces around the track. There's a playground that's decked out to keep kids active and entertained. The park also has picnic spots all over, if you want to pack a lunch and make a day of it. It's a great place to meet up with friends, hang out, or get in on the community events that go on. Poinsettia Park also has a community center buzzing with classes and other events. It's a place where everyone's welcome, no matter their age or interests. Even though the park can get pretty busy, there's still a calm vibe about it. You'll see people just kicking back on the grass, reading, or enjoying the sun. Parking can be a pain sometimes, but that's a small price to pay for all the things this park offers. All in all, if you're in WeHo, you should check out Poinsettia Park.

Great dogs owned by great people ! The night crew is also amazing;)
