went here a couple of times this week. Very busy but mostly uglies. Saw police every time I went there. Some guy told me that somebody pulled a knife on him in the bushes once. Overall really active place with possibility for fun if the guys are your type.

Hi! I tried to enter the park a couple of times last week but the gate/entrance on STADIUM WAY was always locked. How else can one enter the park?
Report
Visitor ·
ok i had the same issues but i learned that you gotta enter of off broadway.at 9 every night the rangers lock the gate,but if you go a block south off of the broadway entrance there is a lil street where if your in luck you can park there.i was there last week on a sunday night and man it was off the hook.tues night there were police there,so be safe.

went by there today. lots of cars parked on the side of the rode. If you look onto the hillsides you can see people in the bushes. I did see a cop truck a couple times. They pulled over a truck, weren't cruisers (a woman with 2 men) but just know that they are in the area....

You saw a guy "arrested for cruising"? What does that mean? I don't think it's illegal to hang out in a public parking lot. The guy must've been doing something that got him arrested. What was he doing?

i saw my first arrest for cruising here last sunday... it was at buena vista point... it's better to show off down in the trails... too risky in the parking lot...

#4 dont be stupid... if you see goodlooking guys in group in the bushes not doing anything then there is something fishy.... if you see a group of cholitos in the bushes and again no action prior to you arriving then i would reconsider joining them . You guys need to read the cruising tips on this website they tell you then and there how things go cruising, you are doing something already illegal so wise up. don't be scraed off by o I saw the cops and expect to cruise up a place and never see or be part of some bad events.

#1 dont come alone bring a friend, like you should to all places like these even bookstores.#2 let someone know how to get ahold of you or where youll be.#3 those that have been arrested were in the broad daylight during the day like 12p. Common sense is that there is vice around that time. Now as for after hours, like 6p , cops won't go in "cruising" you at those times , the risk factor increases dramatically for them, they are not stupid. cont ...

It wouldn't be a bad idea to go with a friend since this area is very secluded.

to give you an idea... there is action all day long in the entire park, keep in mind its where Dodger Stadium is , so its a big park, but specifically in the small section off Broadway .
Report

What about during the day...any action?

I live close by and I really want to go here some day, just to check it out. But, I'm really scared of the fact that there are cops around here looking for people doing stuff... should I be paranoid, or not?

Sunset east turn left on Broadway past China town. 101 to 110 pasadena , exit Solano/Academy make a left on Broadway , park is on the left. Gets good after 7 in the Broadway area. def going back tonight.

110 N exit on Academy road/Solano make an immediate left at the alley street and drive until you see the park on the left. Park and walk in .

Fun place, different places to choose from . Best times are at dusk near the broadway entrance. Never been disspointed. Young guys , mostly latinos, seen threesomes and couples , circle jerks. Fun! Have not seen cops or anyone busted ever. Park outside to avoid being locked in , gates close at 9-10
