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.

    Today, I went to the beach with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year
    old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put
    the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched
    her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know
    this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!

    The Koreans shout “Abuse by Japanese Imperialism!” or “Sex Slaves!”, but I don’t believe so.
    Because I witnessed the historical facts. The late Choson Dynasty was hell.
    It didn’t change when Choson became the Dae Han Empire.}

    Hello, I think your site might be having browser compatibility issues.
    When I look at your blog site in Chrome, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has
    some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up!
    Other then that, awesome blog!

    I’ve been browsing online more than 4 hours today,
    yet I never found any interesting article like
    yours. It is pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all site owners and bloggers made good
    content as you did, the net will be much more useful than ever before.

    Köpeklerde eğitim kulvarları ve eğitim süreçlerimiz keyifli ve eğlenceli geçmektedir.
    İstanbul merkezli köpek eğitimi başlıca akıllara gelen ilk soru köpek tuvalet eğitimi ile başlanmaktadır.
    Bir çok kişinin sorusu genelde yavru köpek
    eğitimi ile beraber yetişkin hayvanlarımızın eğitime ne kadar uyumlu olup olmadığıdır.
    Gelin hep beraber hayat yoldaşlarımıza yol gösterelim. Unutmayın ki eğitim hayatımızın her yerinde bulunmaktadır.

I’m thinking about creating my own but I’m not sure where to start. Do you have any ideas or suggestions? Thanks

    twitter updates. I’ve been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time
    and was hoping maybe you would have some experience with something like this.
    Please let me know if you run into anything. I truly enjoy
    reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.
