Echo Park Lake Playground
What people say
A neighborhood children's play area near the north and east lake lawns, paired naturally with a shorter section of the loop. Use the north side of the lake rather than the boathouse dock and keep the Park Avenue restroom location in mind. Equipment can be hot and shade is uneven. Keep children close because paths, streets, and the lake edge remain nearby.
