Arthur Smocks: Great place for a gathering. There are standing soccer games on the weekend, so make sure you have a permit if you want to reserve a specific spot. The people are nice and willing to compromise.
Aside from the guy trying to smoke Crack and poop its a great space. Definitely needs a clean up team consistently.
Brian Skuletich: This event is an absolute blast, especially for first-timers. Seeing how fast these cars are in person is truly incredible. The course is massive, and unless you have grandstand seats, a suite, or a box, it can be tough to find a comfortable spot to view the race.
We purchased general admission tickets along with paddock passes, which really elevated the experience and made it worthwhile.
The biggest downside, as usual, was the parking. I highly recommend skipping the venue’s parking and park in a nearby garage instead, which costs around $20. Youll have to walk, but not as far as I had to with official race parking, I had to hike nearly a mile (about 15 minutes) just to reach the closest GA entry. Aside from parking, I highly recommend.
Domingo Mota: First time visiting - checked it off my list. Smaller than I thought but gorgeous with soothing aromas, well-maintained trails and landscape, and lots of shady big trees with steps where you can sit. Such a great spot to re-center or go for a brisk walk. Definitely going back!
Bradley Rohr: Nice neighborhood park. They need to be a little better about patrolling it for people who let their dogs off leash to run all k we but otherwise it’s a great walking park.
Deval Shah: went during afternoon time on a monday so it was very peaceful. barely any water in some part of the pond but its understandable in the drought. birds were all around the park doing their own thing untill a lady came to feed them bread. DO NOT FEED the birds. bread is really bad for them. saw at least 6-7 difference species of birds. plenty of parking
Steph Couvrette: Visited during the Museums of the Arroyo day so only caught a glimpse of it but it was cool nonetheless. Got a little bit of the interesting history of the house and family.
Gary Standke: Open for tours again. You do need to reserve online. Free parking along the streets nearby. The tour starts on time with a video presentation of the history of the house and the Tournament of roses Parade. Then you tour all the rooms on the first and second floor. There is a basement and attic which are not open to tour as they are just storage at this time. Our guide was great and the entire tour lasted 2 hours. You learn about the region from the early 1800s to present . Great furniture, architectural elements, trophies, jewelry, etc.
The rose garden outside is fantastic and is always open to view without going on a tour.
