Word on the street
What locals are saying
A genuine neighborhood park in a tourist-heavy corridor, Hazel Parker earns its local loyalty through sheer utility — tennis courts, a baseball diamond, a basketball court, an enclosed dog run, and a renovated recreation building that hosts yoga, language classes, and summer camps year-round. Built in 1933 and named for the woman who ran it for decades, it carries real peninsula history rather than manufactured charm. The dog park draws its own recurring gripe: owners propping open the large field gate instead of using the dedicated entrance, which undercuts the whole enclosed setup.
