Don Knabe Community Regional Park - Cerritos, California

Phil C

This quiet community park features a central lake perfect for fishing, remote-controlled boats, relaxation, and more. It's a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Most recently, I've come to walk the trails and get a simple workout at one of the two outdoor gyms. These gyms use your body weight for resistance, which is excellent for all fitness levels.

This park has a lot to offer.
* Sports Fields and tennis courts
* Swimming Pool (open during Summer hours)
* Fishing with trout and catfish stocking, depending on the season. Family fishing events are also available once or twice a year.
* Indoor and outdoor basketball courts
* Skate park (free to use)
* Tennis Pro Shop and Lessons
* Pickleball courts are available through reservation only
* Picnic areas, some of which are covered
* Jungle Gyms for the kids
* Annual fairs and events for the community
* Pokemon stops and gyms
* Plenty of parking on most days. Events and sports days can make it challenging

Quick facts:
* One loop jogging around the park is approx. 1.5 miles (based on my GPS)
* Picnic areas are first come, first served, or must be reserved through the park website for the covered lots.
* Security patrols the park.
* Coyote Creek Bikeway is adjacent to the park and goes to Seal Beach.
* A variety of ducks, geese, and other feathered friends tend to take over some of the park. Be cautious of the bird droppings, which (I think) get washed once a week.

Loved the vibe. It is a huge park with multiple areas for kids to play on the swing or slide. The pond is beautiful with hundreds of mountain geese and other ducks roaming around. Good choice for photoshoot. There are designated spots for hosting picnics or luncheon. Overall, very nice place.

This is for sure one of my favorite places to come to in Cerritos. I love coming here and going for really long walks. The park is kept relatively clean and I’ve never had any negative experiences here at all. It is definitely one of the nicer parks in the immediate area and a huge plus that you do not need to pay to get in.

Very large scenic park, with playgrounds, ponds for fishing, basketball courts, and tennis courts. We used it for parking next to coyote river trail to go rucking with a small community group.

We don't have many large, lush parks here in the high desert. Went to this park for a family function and it was so nice! The ducks and geese are so used to humans they walk right up to you. Just had a very nice day.
