The band was amazing and the venue was a really nice location. What I liked about this park was that La Costa Canyon High School was within walking distance, so parking was plentiful. The park itself was clean, spacious, and well lit. It's located inside a quiet neighborhood and his family oriented. There's a play area for a little kids and soccer fields and basketball courts for the bigger kids. There are lots of grassy areas with big trees for those who want a nice picnic without direct sunlight beating down on them.

There's also a kitchen, private bathrooms and the yard is included in your rental. The place is huge!! It has a dance floor and plenty of lighting. We used it to throw our son's 1st birthday party. The tables were a little used but put a table cloth cover, it's all good! Chairs were fine. Kitchen had a fridge and microwave and even dish washing soap. The supply room had paper towels for the bathrooms and supplies. Weekend rental is an extra $$ compared to weekdays. They do give you an extra hour for clean up. We rented from 11-3 (4pm with free extra hour for clean up) and the cost was around $450ish. Pretty good for indoor space! One thing is the front door is not open and looks closed. Many of our caterers could not find this place. No clear signage to go to the parking lot for entrance.

This park is located in a neighborhood east of the 5 about 3/4 mile from the exit. There seems to…read morebe a lot of parking but the layout causes confusion as to where and which lot you should park when attending the sporting events. We entered the lower lot and it looked as if there was no access to the soccer fields up top and instead opted to park next to the recreation center only to find it to be an obsticle course to the fields. The hike was not that far but it was out of the way and the better option would have been the lower lot. The park has restrooms that are located center of the lower park. There is also another park next to the recreation center. The fields are not maintained well and a couple girls were injured from potholes and clumpy grass. There is picnic areas and some play structures as well as a couple baseball/softball fields. The three star review is based on the poorly maintained soccer fields. The city should do better for the youth.

First off, I love my phone. Being able to dictate a review while playing with my son (oh, I'm…read morefollowing after him as I do this) is a lot of fun. Not sure if that's the kid in me enjoying new technology or if I'm just reveling in being lazy and not having to do this at my laptop, but who cares? The children's play area for this park is not very big. A small field with a gazebo for snacking and lunching dominate most of the area. The playground itself has one of those rubber tops for safe jumping and falling, which I like, but it's also surrounded by a very large sandpit with big-grained sand, making it tough for anyone to wear sandals and you can expect the younger kids to be tossing the sand everywhere (mine did ... on another boy). The playset itself is made of dark brown and dark green plastic that becomes uncomfortably hot very quickly in the spring and summer sun. Still, it's a good size with a lot of fun activities for any pre-kindergartner to enjoy. But, the worst part of the playground is that it is so close to the main road. A little landscaping and a small fence separate them, but there are still many ways for kids to jump down and run into traffic if you're not paying attention; especially since many of the older kids have trampled lazy pathways of their own through the rosemary. There are a couple of other adjoining fields for soccer and baseball, but I would think most people would be interested in bringing their young children. As for that, on the funnier side, I don't think I've actually seen many adults playing with their kids here. If it's a blond kid, then the nannies are there to look after them; the darker haired kids have mothers that just sit on the benches drinking coffee and looking up news and gossip on their smart phones. Still, the small size makes it peaceful, and most people keep to themselves if that's what you're going for. In the end, coarse sand and bad coloring on equipment in a small area next to a busy road work against it, but it's still a nice park in an nicely open field.

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars…read more This review is strictly for Baseball fields. There are 4 major fields and few practice fields. The park is huge including a BMX bick tracks, which is spread across lot of areas. ApApart from that, this park features baseball diamonds, a soccer field, a playground, picnic areas, and more. It's a really nice sports park that's bustling in the evenings. There are some good baseball fields and ample space for soccer and football. However, parking can be a bit tight, and the bathrooms are just okay. There are water fountains and place to fill bottle. Overall, the park is well-maintained. But the baseball, the outfields leave much to be desired, with numerous bumpy patches causing the ball to bounce instead of roll. Parking on streets close to home base it's a risk. Beware.
