Backside of Alondra Park.... the El Camino College side. I don't think the patrons there are the greatest but the lot is plenty big. Go to Yukon and Redondo Beach Blvd. There's also one on 182nd and Firmona It's across from the backside of the Galleria been there twice in 25 years. I recall the size of the park is big. Not sure of the parking lot size or Inglewood and 182nd. That one has a one way driveway. I think the lot is too small. Wilson Park is big but I don't want to go there. I work down the street. Pick a nice quiet JR high or middle school in Redondo or Torrance. Chances are better of finding good size and function. South Torrance High has a huge parking lot.

Alondra is big but ghetto....if we are going to have a meet I suggest west torrance or south torrance........somewhere where its close to the bbq area where we park......wilson is big but the parking lot is too far from picnic area.....it is a good place to park in the lot and hangout there but thats it.......ok here I found some parks to narrow it down and I will do a drive by of some of these parks......
Walteria Park in South Torrance
de portola park in South Torrance- looks good from pictures
Rocketship Park in South Torrance
Entredero Park in West Torrance
SunnyGlen Park in West Torrance
Paradise Park in West Torrance
Victor Park in West Torrance
El retiro Park in South Torrance
Miramar Park in South Torrance/Redondo Beach literally
Riviera Park in South Torrance
Sur La Brea in Torrance
Alta Loma Park in Torrance
These all look decent from the pictures some are probably small and some maybe the parking may be only street parking like lago seco park........so if any of you southbay guys live near some of these parks please help me out and check some of them out and give me some feedback..........preferrably we want a lot to park side by side and be near the picnic area..........so danny if you have sometime drive by the ones in west torrance since you are over there and I will drive by the ones in torrance by torrance high.........or around south high..........ok laters guys stay dry =)

Rocketship park? The one by Riviera Elementary School? When I attended school there, there was no parking lot for the park (unless you count the elementary school's small lot). I don't recall seeing a lot there last time I drove by.
El Retiro's park has a smallish lot...used to spend a lot of time there when I was growing up (and my dad still plays tennis there regularly). Could be crowded on weekends.
I don't remember any parking lot at Lago Seco. I played Little League at the nearby baseball field and don't remember a lot there either.
De Portola definitely was street parking.
I remember Alta Vista Park having decent parking.
I went to South High...plenty of parking there, but no place to have a bbq.

I wouldn't totally rule El Retiro out because it DOES have a parking lot...just not a big one.
How many NSXs do you think would be showing up?
Have you looked to see if you'd need a permit or to pay anything to use these parks picnic facilities?

I will find out soon enough when I find out which park we will use.
This is some general rules for anyone coming:
No freeloaders, shady people, or cheap asses will be welcome or tolerated.
I don't want to name anyone on here but unfortunately I have heard of some shady nsx owners...so if you are one of them then you are not welcome!...
Also please do not do anything to get the police to come give us a hard time.
So here is the rule of thumb everyone should bring enough food and drinks to anticipate 2 dozen people or so. So you are looking at $25-30 minimum of food and drinks each. We will break it down so we don't end up buying too much of the same thing.
I am not trying to make this a big meet but anyone who owns an nsx is welcome and please bring the nsx and your share of food and drinks......
The rule of bringing food and drinks applies ........we will break down the categories ......main entrees(meats for bbq) , fruits, salads, appetizers, drinks (water,sodas, coffee,alcohol, juices), desserts, snacks, plates, utensils, etc......) so its kind of like potluck style with bbq added to it.
Also if we have any good photographers here with some nice photography skills and video cameras come down and give us some good shots...I will be bringing my sony cybershot 3.3mp......and I'll ask my friend with the slr to come snap some shots...........
If you guys also have frisbees, footballs, basketballs, etc bring it.
Hopefully the weather will permit this to happen. Check back from time to time guys.

I'm an O.C. guy, but I would like to attend. Regarding suggestions, there's a park in Palos Verdes, up the hill from Torrance, that is nice and private. It has fantastic views, decent parking lot,shade trees etc.. however, I'm not sure if it has BBQs. Anyway, I'm in...

Are you talking about Ernie Howlett park off of Hawthorne in Rolling Hills Estates? I forgot about that one...haven't been there in years. Last time I was up there, I remember their parking lot to be gravel. Lots of space and good views, but would anyone have issues parking their NSX on a gravel lot?
It's Ernie Howlett and the lot is no longer gravel.
I would like to make it up there, but what day are you trying for? I don't think that was ever made clear.

Ahhhhh....sounds FUN!!!Nov 6 it is!!! :biggrin: I'm new in the area so I'll let the old guys decide which park to go.. :biggrin: . 
The parks that I know of are the larger ones. I'm thinking lot size for 15-20 cars then 20-30 people. In Redondo, there's a park on Vail. The lot is pretty big, the park is ok. The problem (I think) is there's been trouble in the past. Young people hang there. Other than that it's nice, off the main drag, and has parking. The parks in Manhattan, Hermosa, and Redondo is a parking lot for cars. Polliwog Park is great but you gotta park on the street. Marine and Aviation is really good. Lot size small tho.I'm running out of ideas guys, we can pick Dockweiler Beach between Imperial Hwy and Rosecrans Ave all the way to the end of the 105(west).
