    Excellent park in Santee with plentiful lot and street parking! Awesome place to play pickleball with a lively community and well maintained dedicated courts. Organized paddle holders and everyone following good sportsmanship etiquette ensures a great time!

    Play structure

    Easily one of my favorite parks in San Diego. It offers some great features you can't pass up. Easy parking- not only is there parking just in front but the surrounding neighborhoods offer parking as well. I've never had an issue coming and not getting parking in the main area. Bathrooms, drinking fountains, plenty of seating and bbq spots make it perfect for picnics or parties. Basketball and tennis courts for play. Large structures for kids under the shade of gorgeous trees (my favorite part). Even during the summer the shade provided from the trees mean you don't have to stay indoors. The best part of all: a creek and hiking trail. The creek is dry during the summer but still makes for great exploration. In the winter months it has water so bring some rain boots or a change of clothes and let the kids go wild!

    Took the trail head from here to the get to the service road for Cowles. It's a nice well kept park, they had a tournament going on this weekend at the tennis courts. And there was people out having picnics. They also have public restrooms that were surprisingly decent for a public restrooms. Parking is a bit limited best to take advantage of the street parking. There are two entrances to the hike you can take either one in. They merge at the center. Overall rocky dirt trail but it offers more shade than the front side of Cowles.

    Best park in San Diego. I love how it is gated and kids feel safe to run around this huge grassy park and enjoy the small river that runs through it. Basketball and sand volleyball court and 8 pickleball courts along with a large jungle gym area for all ages. Lots of parking at the school parking lot or on the street.

    Crappy bathrooms,

    Pretty sweet spot, Volleyball, basketball, tennis, play area, its almost like they want you to have fun here. Oh unless you have to use the bathroom, its like the City or the employees dont give a sh**, the sink doesnt work, the urinal smells cause either no one flushes or it doesn't work, so much for health and safety. If there was a rating system i would give this place a (1) outa (5), five being okay and one sucking big time.

    Beautiful park. Not too crowded even on a sunny Saturday. There are playground for young children, toddlers, public restrooms, a basket ball court and a beach volleyball set up, picnic tables and you can let your dog off the leash!! Great, right? There is also a way to get to another trail that leads to Cowles mountain.

    See all
