Juntos Family Park

Juntos Family Park in Glassell Park is a Los Angeles city park that was designed with community in mind — its name means 'together' in Spanish, reflecting the bilingual, multigenerational character of the Northeast LA neighborhood it serves. The park has a 4.4 rating across 101 reviews and is open 7 days a week from 6:30AM to 10PM, one of the most flexible public park schedules in the city.

The playground equipment serves kids ages 2-12 well, with structures that have challenge levels appropriate for different age ranges. The surrounding grassy areas are open for informal play — running, frisbee, picnicking — that extends the useful space beyond the equipment itself.

For NELA families in Glassell Park, Cypress Park, Eagle Rock, and Mount Washington, this is a neighborhood park that serves both morning and evening family needs. The 6:30AM open is early enough for summer mornings before the heat builds, and the 10PM close means post-dinner park time is genuinely possible — useful for families with school-age kids who are active in the evenings.

The Arroyo Seco corridor is adjacent to Glassell Park, and the Arroyo Seco bike path connects the area to Highland Park and further south — families with bikes can combine a park visit with a trail ride.

Avenue 33 in Glassell Park and the surrounding streets have good Mexican and Central American food options at community-appropriate pricing — a contrast to the more expensive restaurant scenes in the gentrifying parts of NELA.
