Robert R. Ovrom Park

Park Features

Located on S. San Fernando Boulevard in Burbank, California, Robert R. Ovrom Park is a green space where locals gather to unwind and play. The park has various amenities that appeal to different age groups and interests.

At the heart of the park stands a 6,800 square foot community center, added during a 2009 development project. This spacious facility hosts various community activities, including weekend gatherings and Saturday morning karate classes for children.

Recreation Opportunities

Step outside the community center and you'll come across plenty of ways to enjoy the California sunshine. The recently revamped playground area has traded its former sandy surface for cushioned turf that's easier on little knees (and parents' laundry). Children enjoy the climbing structures and the spinner that adds fun to park visits.

If you're looking to shoot some hoops, the lighted basketball court lets local players extend their games well into the evening. For those more interested in relaxation than competition, several shaded picnic tables and barbecue grills create perfect spots for family lunches or weekend cookouts with friends.

Visitor Information

No need to cut your park visit short - clean restroom facilities are available on-site, a small but significant convenience for families with young children. The parking lot makes it easier to visit without having to search for street parking.

Thoughtfully placed shade trees throughout the grounds offer welcome relief on warm Burbank days. The park's central location makes it an accessible green retreat within the urban landscape - a quick escape that doesn't require a long journey.

Recent Improvements

Robert R. Ovrom Park has seen some thoughtful updates in recent years that have breathed new life into this community space. The playground equipment now sports a more modern look, while the switch from sand to cushioned turf represents a practical upgrade that neighborhood families appreciate.

These renovations have given the park a refreshed feel, creating an even more inviting space for the children and families who consider this their neighborhood backyard.
