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.

    Typically the horror movies have odd characters with unusual deals with and body
    structures. These movies show sound effects that are very scary that causes chills and shudders.
    Horrors films excite us also and they are full of spine-chilling sequences.

    Fear movies have often a scary and shocking finale.

    They will scare us while exciting and entertaining us at the same time frame in a cathartic
    experience. Horror movies feature a wide range of models, from the earliest silent Nosferatu classic, to today’s SPECIAL monsters and deranged people.

    They are sometimes combined with technology fiction. Here
    the risk or monster is related to some sort of corruption of technology, or
    maybe when Earth is vulnerable by aliens. The scariest movies show sequences of your
    old and deserted significant palace with no one, yet a ghost and a
    group meet him or her in bizarre consequences.

    These movies are full of special sound effects and light results.

    Everyone loves to get oneself worried by watching these scary movies.

  25. Real Estate Pro says:

    According to my study, after a property foreclosure home is bought at a bidding, it is common to the borrower in order to still have the remaining balance on the personal loan. There are many lenders who try to have all expenses and liens repaid by the upcoming buyer. On the other hand, depending on certain programs, regulations, and state guidelines there may be a number of loans that are not easily settled through the switch of personal loans. Therefore, the duty still lies on the debtor that has had his or her property foreclosed on. Thank you for sharing your ideas on this website.

  26. Real Estate Agent says:

    Thanks for your article. One other thing is that individual states in the United states of america have their unique laws which affect home owners, which makes it very difficult for the our elected representatives to come up with a fresh set of guidelines concerning home foreclosure on property owners. The problem is that a state has got own legislation which may have impact in an undesirable manner on the subject of foreclosure insurance policies.

  27. Real Estate Agent says:

    One thing I’ve noticed is the fact there are plenty of fallacies regarding the finance institutions intentions whenever talking about foreclosures. One misconception in particular is the fact that the bank prefers to have your house. The bank wants your hard earned dollars, not the home. They want the funds they gave you having interest. Avoiding the bank will draw a foreclosed realization. Thanks for your post.
