Wonderful Wilson Park in Torrance CA

Welcome to Wilson Park in TorranceWilson Park in Torrance

Torrance has an abundance of great parks but none really compare with the features and amenities of Wilson Park.  It’s a sprawling patch of beautiful green open space in the heart of Torrance and across the street from the complexes of Plaza Del Amo.  Located at 2200 Crenshaw Blvd 90501 the aminities and facilities are as diverse as they come.  About the only thing it’s missing is an aquatics center.

They certainly have the usual features…..playgrounds, fields, etcl, but it really is much more of a “recreation center” than a park.  Some of the many things to do at Wilson Park include:

  • Barbecues
  • Basketball Courts
  • Tennis Courts
  • Paddle Tennis/Pickleball Courts
  • Horseshoe Courts
  • Sand Volleyball Courts
  • Children’s Playground
  • .91 mile Fitness Course
  • Annenberg Tree House
  • Electric Car Charging Stations

Also available to reserve:

  • Picnic Areas
  • Softball Diamonds
  • Roller Hockey Rink
  • Indoor Sports Center
  • Outdoor Amphitheater
  • Batting Cages
  • Live Steamers ridable railroad
  • Splash Pad (open April-December)

The park is just amazing with ample parking, playground areas, incredible and unique sports facilities, fields and more.  What makes this so unique is some of the athletic areas unseen just about anywhere else.  These include the usual softball, baseball, soccer fields and tennis and basketball courts but also include a roller hockey rink, futsal turf field, batting cages, a childrens summer water area and a small guage railroad offering actual rides.

What’s Happening in North Torrance Real Estate?

Welcome to the market update for real estate in North Torrance.  North Torrance is the neighborhood just off of Artesia Blvd just south of the homes of Lawndale CA and Gardena.  This area has some of the more affordable single family home options compared with other parts of Torrance in some great neighborhoods.  Some of the reason for homes being less expensive than in West Torrance and Southwood is A) it’s a bit further from the beach B) the neighborhoods are closer to commercial and industrial property so there are some great small streets but they’re generally not far from busier areas and C) the schools are still great but not quite as highly rated.

Not surprisingly given the coronavirus impacts, the number of homes for sale has gone up while the number of recent sales has dropped slightly (see chart  showing the past 15 months)
