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.

    Founded in 1010, in 1954 it became the official capital of
    independent Vietnam. A peaceful city of lakes with leafy boulevards, Hanoi lies at
    the heart of the northern Red River Delta and somehow reflects an European feel.
    Especially the streets of the Old Quarter preserve age-old customs, where trade takes one back half a century, and temples, pagodas and monuments reflect the historic character of Vietnam.
    In this area there are many hotels which have been recently refurbished with a special care to
    the traditional architecture and design. Hanoi
    Hotels are surprisingly modest but preserve a unique charming environment.

    Some of them are set in historical buildings: the Ritz Hotel for example or Joy Hotel Return Hotel, the Pearls hotel,
    the Old street Hotel, Y Van Riverside Hotel, Hanoi Plaza hotel and Hanoi Queen Plaza.
    They are all front serene Hoan Kiem lake and – quite surprisingly for the
    standard they provide-, the prices are extremely cheap.

    Spending a night in any of these Vietnamese hotels will cost you from around 3,
    5 euros per person up to 15 euros per person. Although Hanoi, and Vietnam in general,
    have been absorbing a tourist boom since1993, which of
    course has seen an infiltration of western-style food and fashions into the once inaccessible city,
    Hanoi has retained its appealing sense of the old world.

    This means that the city provides many services for tourists as nice boutique hotels, internet
    cafés and restaurants offering wide range of food.

    Do not forget that tourism has in general a bad influence in the way local people live, too often being responsible for changing their tastes, habits and underlining economic gaps and unequal access
    to resources. So forth, it is important each one of us makes a difference in the
    way we wish to live the city.

    Respecting local traditions and habits is important,
    from the way of dressing to general behaviour while in public
    areas, to gender differences roles. Regarding shopping for
    example, do not indulge in mass tourist souvenirs.
    Sometimes, the best way to take home part of the spirit, is taking a good shot, or buying some spices,
    or typical things that a local person would buy. From a notebook, to a normal pen, or a traditional t-shirt or a votive candle or a dolly used by Hanoi girls.
    This will help much more the local community than anything
    else.

    The hotels listed above are also Vietnamese run and your money will not
    feed some Western Fat Industries. Think about it. https://www.addpoll.com/mullenmullen46

    enormously appreciated!

    Be patient. Hand-in-hand with being strategic is
    being patient. If you do not need the money immediately, it is best
    to let it hold for a longer time. Stock market investment gains average 10-12% over a 10-year period.
    Net, if you hold on to your stock for or about that long, chances are, you will realize such level of gains. https://salehsaleh71.livejournal.com/904.html
