Reviews of Whittier Narrows Recreation Area
"Excellent place to hang out with family and friends - including dog family/pack-mates. There is more than one place to park (see my attached phone screen capture) so if you plan on meeting someone be aware of that - I went to a different parking lot than my friend. My parking lot was free, the other one had an entrance fee until later in the day (when I went there - my screen capture has a time on it at the bottom - they probably stopped charging at 4:30 - or maybe 5 PM - but again the lot I went to was free)."
"Walking, Relaxing, Camping, Fishing… This this the place for those activities. The animals here really needy and super friendly, especially the fox squirrels. There are many birds here too if you like bird watching. From my observation, it can be up to 12 birds."
"Huge and multi-purpose park. Early morning parking is available on the side skirts dirt area. Lots of trails for walkers, joggers, and runners. Many, many geese , ponds, and wildlife. Calm, quiet , visited by many walkers . Restrooms available, fountain ⛲️ drinks areas are available . Overall, it is a good picnic area, good for small sports events, lots of parking during regular hours . Giving it a 3 5 to 3.9 score"
"This place is so serene and calming. The entire lap around the park marks 2.2 miles. There's ducks and squirrels everywhere. I always feel safe coming here no matter the time of day. Clean bathrooms, great for family picnics. (Please pick up after yourself and your dogs)"
"This is a lovely park with two ponds and an unbelievable amount of beautiful birds. I never even knew this park was here despite it being over 1,300 acres. I recently learned not to feed birds bread/cereal/popcorn because it can seriously harm them by causing malnutrition, deformities, intestinal problems, or deadly infections. It's better to give them healthy treats like dry or cooked oats, grains, cooked brown rice, duck pellets, birdseed, fruits, or vegetables instead. The birds at this park didn't seem aggressive to people - although the squirrels were - however, in one picture I took where we were feeding the birds, I counted around 200 of them...literally. There are things to do, like rent a boat or go for a ride in a surrey. You can walk, run, play, fish, work out, and have a picnic. It's only $7 to park, and there is plenty of parking. There were many people, but it didn't feel crowded. People brought dogs, but they were all on-leash, and they cleaned up after them. There were many families and couples, but not many unsavory characters. There does not seem to be a problem with loitering or panhandling here. Also, I hate to mention this if you didn't know, but don't let the Google results about the dead bodies scare you. We didn't see any while we were there, and I don't think any of the bodies were murders. I was there with family and children and teens and never felt unsafe. I was a little nervous with the circle of hundreds of waterfowl closing in on me, but everything turned out okay, and they left quickly once I ran out of food. I highly recommend this park, and I frequently try out different parks. This was one of the best around."
