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.

Dear Dr. Slotnick,Thank you so much for your site and for your kindness and generosity towards everyone reaching out to you.I have a four year old daughter with intermittent esotropia. Her regular ophthalmologist, after trying glasses (which didn’t work) and some patching (which did actually help a little) suggested more patching and surgery. At this point I researched visual therapy and we began working with an acclaimed visual therapist.That was about 5 months ago. I’m sorry to say my daughter’s condition appears to have gotten worse. Now both eyes are turning in (before she mostly favored one eye. I understand this is not necessarily negative, as it means that both eyes are working, but it also doesn’t seem positive), and the degree of the inward turn is more severe. It is also more constant. This was verified by her original ophthalmologist who has examined her several times and who came to these conclusions empirically.It has been an incredibly challenging 5 months and very difficult to assist a 4 year old in doing daily eye exercises when she does not have the comprehension to understand “long-term benefits.” We worry that the process of getting her to do her eye exercises (we try to keep it light, but often must submit to cajoling, bribing and threatening) is effecting her behavior and self-image.Our original ophthalmologist is now strongly recommending surgery without delay and my husband is inclined to do it as well. I don’t want to do it, but I must admit that she seems to be regressing instead of progressing.I am hopeful that the visual therapy prior to surgery will help her brain make the connection post-surgery. My questions are: Is it dangerous to wait too long with intermittent esotropia? Shall we continue visual therapy post-surgery? Should we wait until she is more mature to attempt it? How much time is reasonable to expect some gains in ocular alignment with visual therapy? Our surgeon claims he leaves no scar tissue behind, is this possible?Thank you so much for any feedback you are able to give.Best wishes,Ruby

So let me reword this…. Thanks for the meal!! But yeah, thanx for spending the time to discuss this issue here on your website.
Way cool! Some very valid points! I appreciate you writing this article and the rest of the website is really good.
I’m amazed, I must say. Rarely do I encounter a blog that’s equally educative and amusing, and let me tell you, you’ve hit the nail on the head. The issue is an issue that too few men and women are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy I came across this during my hunt for something relating to this.
The original question I Googled that got me here was, “how do I get over the physical bond with a man?”. This article was great, and gave more information about why I feel the way I do after recently ending a fling with a guy, however, do you know any ways to get over that physical bond quickly? I’m tired of thinking and dreaming about him all the time and longing for his lips when I find myself alone.Any advice will help, I suppose.
How come the torpedo part presented as evidence of a N Korea strike was so intact? I would have thought that when a torpedo explodes it would be blown to bits. There seems to be no sign of an explosion on this large intact component…..
Hi, I have a problem of not seeing any spontaneous contraction. May I know your protocol?

That is the most amazing thing I’ve EVER seen! Great work! That spider though… LOL Hilarious! I guess it felt right at home there, what with all the leaves and garlands and such. ????
You have to use custom CSS. I designed this to be really lightweight and not have bloated code, so people are expected to style it themselves.You can see my example for styling it in the post. That includes all the CSS class names you’d need and a few examples.
