Normandale Recreation Center

"Great Facility. I have been coming to this park for decades now first the basketball gym, which is often times very crowded because it's very small but well-maintained and taking care of the new addition to the skate park cannot be matched and less you go to Harbor City park and skate parks much better but a park that has a skate park is a great place indeed so thank you to the city whoever funded got this park here. Thank you very much thank you the community loves it and skatefamily enjoys it bring lots of water and it's hot here in the summertime in Los Angeles. Have a great day."

"The park itself is set up awesome has basketball courts baseball diamonds big grass field playground for kids even has a brand new skatepark. The people there are very nice and love their Community the parks and recs does not clean the park well so I saw local people walking around the park with a wagon and a grabber so they could cleaning the park."

"The coaches actually care at this location. We have had our daughters in their programs for about 2 years now. After trying out the programs at other parks this is the best. Even though we live about 8 miles away it is worth the drive for coaches that actually care about your children and want them to succeed."

"We get there with a friend for her daughter softball practice, and was an awesome time there, very family oriented ambiance, my grandson played in the sand box , very clean by the way, & the swings , restrooms clean as well. We will come back!"

"They really are good at what they do. I didn't know parks (Recreation & Parks Department of Los Angeles ) actually have so many programs, year around. There is something to do for everyone. All kinds of sports that they put together as a league. I played baseball when I was young and can relate how important it is to have a safe environment in which to enjoy what we were doing. They even give awards and have banquettes to help celebrate different occasions, (of course they rent different parts of the park). They definitely care for their neighbors. They had a spectacular spooky haunted gym indoors, while hosting many outdoor activities along with a gigantic blowup for this past Halloween, (2016). Most recently, they've shown again how being a good neighbor helps to improve the immediate environment by hosting a pancake breakfast along with a food and toy giveaway. Now, one name comes to mind when it comes to consistent high performance. That would be Francine Sylvia, a shinning example of what to have in an employee, (hint hint city or county). Why, it's simple, she is passionate about what she does and she does it well. I been to this particular park several times and when it comes down to it, she was behind whatever it was. They were a tad short on their toy drive this year ,(2016). I would definitely encourage whomever to make sure you reward her hard work and support the park in general with toys, volunteer work or whatever you can, but that is for you to find out more about."
