Sports and Recreation in Echo Park

via timothy.steingraeber's Flickr

We recently received a lovely letter from one of our readers:

I would love to be a part of a softball team in our area but there is little or no info out there.  I know Los Angeles has a recreational sports website but they don’t really offer anything local.  Elysian Park has fields that are usually open and if there is enough interest around town, maybe we could organize a Sunday league.  Do you have any thoughts, info, suggestions?

Why, yes, dear reader. We do have some thoughts, info and suggestions! The Echo Park Recreation Center is located at 1632 Bellevue Ave (across from the lake, on both sides of the 101 freeway). It has tennis courts, a baseball diamond, basketball courts and a lot more. The center is under construction, so some of its facilities (such as the outdoor pool) are not accessible at the moment. They also offer a bunch of classes and leagues for kids, but adult teams and leagues are a little more scarce. I recommend checking out their Facebook page for announcements. You can also call them at 213-250-3578 (the phone number on their Facebook page is incorrect) or drop in. Don’t let the scaffolding fool you, they are open right now. Their hours are 9:00 am to 9:00 pm Monday through Friday, Saturday from 9:00 am to 4:45 pm and Sunday from 9:00 am to 2:45 pm.

If aquatic activities are more your bag, I suggest checking out the Echo Park Deep Pool. There is a full-sized indoor pool and offer swimming and water exercise classes. It’s located at 1419 Colton St. The cost for adults is $2.50 to swim, but with your Library card it’s only $2.00.

Another suggestion we have is to look outside the borders of our neighborhood. The Silver Lake Recreation Center has an indoor gym, basketball courts and a baseball diamond. However, they offer mostly classes for kids.Your best bet for adult and senior classes is the Griffith Park Adult Community Center. They offer yoga, tai chi, cardio classes and more.

Another fun thing that you more adventurous types might want to check out: the Los Angeles Dodgeball Society. There’s a Silver Lake league that starts up on April 25th.

    Because of this, many people like the purchasing of wholesale t
    shirts in bulk, which is confirmed to be economical.
    The wholesale t-shirts suppliers acquisition garments items in big volumes
    and also they benefit from discount rates and also most
    affordable prices, and also ultimately these expense benefits proceed from the distributors
    to the consumers. The shirts have been seen as both casual and stylish at the same time.
    It all depends on the method you use them; occasionally they can likewise look semi-formal.
    Lots of institutions and also universities have actually adopted the idea of shirts as their
    attires or gown codes. And shirts can also be viewed as part
    of the dress code of waiters, guards and so on. Some institutes
    or organizations acquire plain wholesale shirts or have an agreement with
    the wholesale dealerships. This is incredibly advantageous to them, as they have to purchase in a large volume and they can do so by spending the least budget on this.
    Later on, they have them printed or fabric painted according to their
    needs and requirements.

    Botox is the trademark name of a healthy protein made from Clostridium botulinum, a type of microorganisms.

    This microorganism can create botulism (a form of gastrointestinal disorder) in huge quantities, yet in small,
    diluted quantities, the clinical area has actually discovered a means to use it for
    cosmetic functions. Shots of Botox are utilized to
    soften moderate to serious face wrinkles, as well as is an invaluable part
    of an anti-aging medical skin care therapy plan.

    Americans spent over 10.5 billion dollars on cosmetic treatments last year.
    While operations declined by 17% over 2008 values, non-surgical
    treatments boosted from 2008 to 2009 by 1%. Leading the way in minimally-invasive modalities was botox.

    There were 2,557,068 botox shots preformed, followed closely by hyaluronic acid shots (1,313,
    038 procedures).

    Provided this rise in the appeal of injectables, coupled with
    the expansion of unfortunate stories concerning DIY botox as well as facial fillers, the value of hands-on, physician-lead botox training has actually never ever
    been more important. The IAPAM acknowledges this professional need, and uses the market’s finest training, delivered by
    board-certified skin specialists acutely accustomed to the skin, as
    well as the method and also art of injectables.

    effort to put this information together. I once again find myself spending a lot of time both reading and

    I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own weblog and was curious what all
    is needed to get set up? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?

    I’m not very internet savvy so I’m not 100% sure.

    Any suggestions or advice would be greatly
    appreciated. Appreciate it

    I believe everything composed was very logical. But, think
    on this, what if you composed a catchier title? I mean, I don’t want to tell you
    how to run your blog, however what if you added a title that grabbed folk’s attention? I mean Sports and Recreation in Echo Park | Echo
    Park Now is a little boring. You should peek at Yahoo’s front page and see
    how they create article titles to get viewers to click.
    You might try adding a video or a related pic or two to
    get readers excited about everything’ve written. Just my opinion, it might make your posts a little livelier.
