In January 2023 we were in California for the University of Utah Rose Bowl game. We lucked out and stayed in a hotel in San Gabriel within walking distance of this park.
This park was built in 1965 by a Mexican artist Benjamin Dominguez and is often referred to as the "Monster Park" or the "Dinosaur Park". It is now on the National Register of Historic Places. You can read all about the history of the park
here.
There are actually 3 playground areas in this park, the historical concrete park, a newer playground that is boat themed and adult exercise equipment near the parking lot.
This is the newer playground. The theming was nice, but my seven year old still preferred the concrete playground.
