Favorite Parks and Beaches from the PV Mom's CLub

Here is a list of great parks and beaches from the Palos Verdes Mom's club. My favorites too...These are great spots especially for stay home moms to take their toddlers.

Here is the link for the PV Mom's Club:http://pvmomsclub.com/guide.html

FAVORITE PARKS

Ryan Park

30359 Hawthorne Blvd. Newer and clean, lots of grass, baseball and soccer field, picnic and playground area. Great for toddlers with lots of places to run, trees and rocks to climb.

Hesse Park

29301 Hawthorne Blvd. Besides the facilities (baseball and soccer fields, picnic areas, playground and walking trail) there is lots of shade so it’s cool during the summer.

Veterans Park

Pearl Street and Catalina. Comments: Thursday Farmer’s Market, multiple climbing structures, near beach

Ernie Howlett

25851 Hawthorne Blvd. in Rolling Hills Estates. Great on colder days – lots of sun. Very clean with lots of activities: courts, multi- purpose athletic fields, basketball court, volleyball court, playground, running track, nine exercise stations, bicycle path. Fun for the kids to watch the horses exercise there and big horse show once a year.

Wilson Park

2200 Crenshaw Blvd., Torrance. Includes tennis facility, horseshoe courts, four softball diamonds, and a state-of-the-art roller hockey rink. The 1^st Sunday of the month hosts free (by donation) train rides. Farmers market on Tuesdays.

Los Aroboles “Rocket Ship” Park

5101 Calle de Ricardo, Torrance. Pretty view.

El Retiro Park

126 Vista del Parque, Torrance. Lots of trees and shade. Room to run dogs. Great jungle gym and swings. Parking is very accessible to play area and the park is close to CPK ASAP.

Highridge Park

Located at Highridge at Crestridge. Baseball and soccer field, tot lot, running track and trail. Parking is right there and it’s usually sunny when Lunada Bay is not.

DePortola Park

Rolling Hills Rd. between Crenshaw and Hawthorne. Multiple climbing structures, large playground, basketball court, near the beach, plenty of grass, different age group play areas, tables and shade, clean and easy to access.

Hermosa Valley Park

Hermosa Beach. Perfect sized park with fire truck, climbing structures, clean bathroom and some fun slides.

FAVORITE BEACHES

Torrance Beach

Along Paseo de la Playa, Torrance. Closest to PV, secluded, clean and convenient – easy parking, ramp to beach and food and restrooms are close.

Seaside Lagoon

200 Portofino Way, Redondo Beach. Great for small children; there’s a playground on the beach and no waves so the children can really play in the water and the adults can relax while watching them. Next to Ruby’s. Note –sited several times for high bacteria counts. 318-0681.

Wide beach with pedestrian and bike trails. Not as crowded and strolling through the quaint town afterward is fun with lots of shops for mommy and baby.

Laguna Beach

Very private, peaceful and romantic. Great place for tide pooling with a lot of coves.

Hermosa

The downtown plaza is great, plus there are several places to eat right on the Strand.

Mother’s Beach

Marine Park on Appian Way at 2nd St., Long Beach. Colorful playground and this water spouting interactive whale are several of the fun things for children. Shade and cool breezes blow help make this a desirable spot to be.
