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.

    Admiring the dedication you put into your website and detailed information you offer.
    It’s awesome to come across a blog every once in a while

    I believe that a home foreclosure can have a important effect on the applicant’s life. Property foreclosures can have a Several to few years negative impact on a debtor’s credit report. A new borrower who has applied for a mortgage or virtually any loans for that matter, knows that a worse credit rating is, the more hard it is to acquire a decent loan. In addition, it can affect the borrower’s capability to find a reasonable place to lease or hire, if that gets to be the alternative homes solution. Great blog post.

    Fortunately, there have been no reports of id theft associated to the
    scam so far, she mentioned. 20 for fuel-the employee realized she’d been tricked and came into the Powell Police department to report the rip-off round 12:30 A.M.
    The worker was to then buy a reward card with a portion of the funds
    and provide the card numbers to the ‘corporate’ particular person,” Powell Police Chief Roy Eckerdt recounted in a Facebook post. “The employee was instructed to depend the money … from the register to make sure the right
    quantity was there. 700 from the Powell store’s
    money register last week. They keep it secret before you’re verified as a
    authentic retailer and register with them. There are
    a whole lot of books and websites written on sex, love and relationship so how to choose.

    You really make it appear really easy along with your
    presentation but I to find this matter to be actually one thing that
    I think I might by no means understand. It seems
    too complex and very broad for me. I am having a look ahead on your subsequent post, I will try to get the dangle of it!

    nowadays, yet I never found any fascinating article like
    yours. It’s beautiful worth enough for me.
    In my view, if all web owners and bloggers made
    just right content as you probably did, the internet shall be much more
    useful than ever before.

    us have developed some nice methods and we are looking to trade solutions with other folks, be sure to shoot me an e-mail if interested.

    Howdy, quick question. Do you mind sharing which blog platform you’re working with and would you
    recommend it? I’m going to start my own blog (I am hoping to build up a following soon)
    but I’m having a difficult time deciding amongst Squarespace/Wordpress/Wix/Tumblr and Drupal.
    What is your suggestion?

    Have a great day!

    The other day, while I was at work, my sister stole my iphone and tested to see if it can survive a 40 foot drop, just
    so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now destroyed and she has 83
    views. I know this is completely off topic but I had to share it with someone!

  44. lights says:

    I seriously love your blog.. Great colors & theme. Did you build this website yourself?
    Please reply back as I’m planning to create my own blog and want to know where
    you got this from or just what the theme is called.
    Cheers!
