Sowers Park
9300 Indianapolis
Huntington Beach, California
92646
This small park next to
Sowers Middle School
provides a close-to-street
playground with sand pits
and two Playworld Systems
stations with slides and
ladders. A swing set
includes two baby swings and
two regular swings. There's
an open lawn for games
adjacent to portable
classrooms at award winning
Sowers School. There's a
long protection wall
isolating Talbert Channel to
prohibit access.
Talbert Channel is one of
several concrete waterways
named after one of
Huntington Beach's founding
families. The channel begins
a few miles north of this
location and heads south to
the Pacific Ocean where it
meets up with Huntington
Channel just before the
Santa Ana River at the
border of Huntington Beach
and Newport Beach.
Sowers Park and Sowers
School are both bounded by
Bushard, Magnolia, Adams and
Atlanta. Parking is
available curbside on
Indianapolis Street where
you should watch all young
children exiting the car.
Traffic along the street
travels a little to fast for
"runaway" kids.
