Pacific Palisades Recreation Center

A beautiful park in quaint Pacific Palisades, a beach-and-mountains-close ’hood that exudes a Mayberry R.F.D.–style charm—if Andy and Aunt Bee had lived in a multimillion-dollar Craftsman home on the bluffs. Baseball fields, basketball and tennis courts, and a large sandy kids' playground make this a favorite playspot for local tots and their nannies.
