Poinsettia Recreation Center

This park is a great spot for pretty much everyone. It's got loads of space, making it feel never too crowded. The basketball and tennis courts, along with two baseball fields, mean there’s always a game to join or watch. Dog owners will love how welcoming it is for their furry friends, and the vibe is super friendly overall. There are bathrooms, so no worries about long days out, and it's packed with fun stuff for kids and teens to do. If you're looking to get active or just hang out, this park's got you covered.

2/13/24 Update: The sidewalks remain cleared of encampments. It's such a great park, it deserves to be better cared for.

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

Sprawling urban park and recreation campus with seasonal youth sports and a full roster of popular arts, dance, music and enrichment classes for kids. Also several tennis courts, outdoor basketball, lovely shady childrens play area and an abundance of green space to enjoy. It’s so big and so popular that there seems to always be new people there, not quite as close knit of a community feel like some of the the other smaller parks and rec in the area. There is also a very large walking track and possibly the best selection of outdoor workout equipment than in any other nearby location. I mostly enjoy it because I can work out while my daughter attends ballet class. Perfect situation for parents. Public restrooms are available and cleaned regularly which is an added bonus.

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 :)

Great vibes and nightly hangs with many good doggies. Ours loves it here.

Great park for gainz. Calisthenics is the best excercise for your body. Full body workout. And the park is beautiful. Brand new water fountain with a bottle adapted section. Great place to run as well.

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.

I used to go there a lot when I lived close by. People played tennis at 6am. Some where exercising on the equipment. It's a large park with soccer field and tennis courts.

It was really awesome.

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;)

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! 🎾

It was entertaining I can honestly say I didn't have a dull moment while I was here

Great park - have played kickball here during the day. The exercise circuit equipment is well-maintained. Nothing too fancy about the park but it serves its purpose and is open, and well-lit and safe. At night it's like a free, public, outdoor bathhouse lol!

It was wonderful to watch the spring season commencement of the Los Angeles division Varsity Gay League kickball...Thanks Poinsettia Park for hosting!

Cool cruising spot if you know what I mean boys...

Living in the neighborhood for nearly 30 years, I never had much of a thought about the park. Then children arrived in my life. And now I know what it means to have places for children to play!

This is a great neighborhood park. On the north side of the recreation center which houses an indoor basketball court and stage, there is a large, green field accompanied by a softball field. Around this perimeter is a jogging path built of a rubber substrate keeping it easy on the joints. That's accompanied with workout equipment placed around the perimeter of the field. To the east of the recreation center, there are tennis and basketball courts galore. Directly west of the recreation center is a playground for young children. And directly to the south is another park with trees and benches.

The recreation center plays host to a myriad of activities throughout the year, including after school programs. My kids really enjoy the summer program, and hanging out at the park to play basketball and to practice their latest skateboard stunts.

Very nice park! Multiple basketball courts with lights that work really well at night. There is soccer field, baseball field and plenty of tennis courts. There's also indoor gym! Water fountains are located throughout the park and easy parking along the outskirts of the park. The park had good balance of people, did not need to wait for anyone to play. Overall A+

Very safe place to jog and exercise. There are stations to work out, basketball and tennis courts. Usually a lot of people around walking the jogging track and playing with there dogs in the park.
