we always went to Willow Park as a kid! LOVED that place! (I grew up in Riverside, just over the mountain there....) That's sad that there is gang activity now went there a couple of years back, and it seemed smaller than I remember lol! (growing up problems maybe? not so small of a person anymore)Willow Park?! I loved going there as a kid. They have troubles with gang activity around there now but it still is fun to go see all the birds. They had a bear when I was little too. I think they still have elk and coyotes and wallaby.
