Confirmed from Bell Gardens John Anson Ford Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Tranquil park with a lake, soccer fields, basketball courts, play equipment & a walking path.

This is an amazing park,.one of cleanest well maintained parks that I have been to..if I could give it 10 stars I would..came here with a Cycling team to get our ride in were there is an entrance to the Rio Hondo river bike path..the trees here tell a story just by looking at them .
This park is very beautiful, very clean, peaceful, many people come to walk with their dogs to walk and exercise, on Saturdays and Sundays there are many people making roast meats with the whole family, you can also celebrate birthdays as long as you set aside the party place in advance. .
