Gloria Molina Grand Park

Grand Park in Downtown is a nice, clean place to walk with friends, family, or children. The park consists of several levels, the nature and well-groomed areas are impressive. The special feature is the benches, tables, and chairs in pink. On Christmas Eve, a Christmas tree is set up on the upper level. There are decorative fountains and green lawns. The upper level offers a view of the Civic Centre Mall.

Its a decent place. We had a good time receiving the new year #2025 at the park. Never done it before and not sure we’ll do it again. The ambience was ok. The music selection was a bit #Terrible! God! It was awful 🤣mostly experimental. Sounded like some folks were definitely on #mushrooms, but we had a good time all on our own anyway. Lol.

The community events held at the Gloria Molina grand park are so beautifully put together. My girls and I had a blast celebrating El Dia de Muertos. The park was clean, safe and had many kid friendly activities. Parking was so accessible and the food trucks were very yummy.

The homeless situation in the park may not be bad in quantity, but it is HORRIFIC in quality. A year and some months ago a homeless woman who was topless accosted me. She had setup camp and was heckling passersby. There are others who have made the park a permanent residence and they are actively hallucinating, on drugs, vocalizing, gesticulating nonstop, and cause you to keep your head on a swivel, if you know what’s good for you.

This park is used for concerts, yoga, having lunch away from the office, or just to enjoy the garden. There's always food trucks, a Starbucks on-site and a water fountain to watch or play in.
