There are plenty of laughs in the outrageous predicaments and the actors are obviously having a ball.

Jack Mathews, New York Daily News
Rotten

None of the characters seems particularly believable, except Lake's; she brings some feeling to a thin role. And the campy, "outrageous" comedy is pretty thin, too.

Kyle Smith, New York Post
Rotten

Suicide, infidelity, spousal abuse and arrested development are the building blocks of Park a wearisome comedy.

Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times
Rotten

It's all harmlessly naughty at the outset, but when it comes to juggling all those characters and their intersecting scenarios, Voelker lacks the dexterity of, say, Robert Altman.

Michael Rechtshaffen, Hollywood Reporter

A flotilla of L.A. residents gathers in an unlandscaped recreation area in Baldwin Hills to canoodle, attempt suicide, plot revenge and dig into one another's psyches in writer-director Kurt Voelker's high-spirited if slight comedy, Park.

Kevin Crust, Los Angeles Times
