Live Oak Park

Live Oak Park has seen me in every phase of my life. Whether it be hitting dingers in my Little League Baseball League, playing pick up basketball as a kid against grown men, taking tennis lessons (I was trash at tennis), or running around here in middle school with my group of friends, Live Oak has been instrumental in my growth as a man. Most recently, it's been here for me when I come back from NYC and just want to get some shots up alone. Nothing as cathartic as grabbing the new basketball my Granny just got me, popping my airpods in, and doing the basketball workouts I used to do as a kid when hoop dreams were all I cared about. Something about reconnecting with that part of myself just eases the stresses that come with adulthood. I think that chubby insecure kid would be proud of who I am today, and that makes me smile. It's good to look back at your past and appreciate who you've become... But don't stare at it, or you'll end up staying there. Look back, smile, and keep pushing forward. I also randomly seen Kendrick Lamar doing a prison workout here a few years back. That was a trip lol. THANK YOU LIVE OAK! THANK YOU GRANNY I LOVE THIS NEW BASKETBALL! IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov_reviews

Visited for the 2018 Manhattan Beach Grand Prix. This is one of the oldest bicycle races in the country. Great racing in all classes. Bring the kids as there are bicycle races for them as well. On the infield the are food vendors with excellent fare.

Great dog park in the South Bay! We did a meet up with a group of ladies and our pups and had a great time! I also love that it’s mulch and not dirt so the dogs stay clean.

i love the courts here. clean and well kept, reservations are easy and affordable, and there are no weird restrictions to number of balls that can be used. it’s pretty quiet and parking is usually never a problem
