[1][2] Park grounds include lighted youth baseball diamond, youth multi-purpose athletic field, Laguna de San Gabriel Nautical (Dinosaur) Playground, picnic tables, barbecues, restrooms and the Girl Scout House.

"[10] The sand-filled lagoon includes Minnie the whale, Stella the starfish, Ozzie the octopus, and Flipper, Speedy and Peanut, three colorful dolphins.

Because of his contributions to San Gabriel as a city employee for over 30 years, and because of his vision to beautify those nine acres of city dump, Vincent Lugo was remembered in a 1988 re-dedication of Municipal Park, which was renamed Vincent Lugo Park in his honor.

[12] In 2006, city park renovation plans sought to demolish the structures, deeming them safety hazards.

[13] But in the years since, locals organized as the Friends of La Laguna have fought for the playground’s preservation and renovation.
