The park is a large soccer field with recreational facilitates. It does have restrooms on the south east side of the park. It's located on the south west corner of Exposition park. Parking can be found don the eastern side of the park. I would not recommended parking anywhere on the south or west sides of the park as it is a very bad neighborhood. Exposition park has great security and there is a LAPD sub station across the street at the Los Angeles Swimming Stadium, also a public pool that was used in the 1932 Olympics.
