I am docking points for the lack of maintenance surrounding the lake. For example there were benches along the lake intended to look out into the lake but the trees and shrubs are so overgrown that there really is no point in these benches anymore. There's a campground here, so I guess I will review that now also. The campground is small with only a few sites. The sites are pretty close together. I was in site 22 and the restroom light shined on my site so badly that I had to hide behind my car to escape the spotlight.

The picnic table area is directly right next to the playground, which is so ideal! The bathrooms & parking are a bit far of a walk from the playground and unfortunately no swings, but absolutely love this park!! (Also if planning a bigger event like an invite list birthday party I highly recommend calling vista parks and recreation to make a proper reservation for the covered picnic table area!The ranger comes out very early in the morning and mark it off as officially reserved signs! Brought me great peace of mind!)

About .7 mile), this park features an amphitheater, tennis (2), softball (2), basketball (3), volleyball (2) courts, an indoor gymnasium, plenty of parking, kid's playgrounds, small water stream, bridges and an amazing disc golf course (19 holes). Covered (or not!) picnic tables and trashes are available. Plenty of parking, plenty of shade along walkways, place is clean. There is a botanical park at the top of the hill.

This sanctuary also has a lot to offer besides the themed gardens like walking trails, scenic views, interactive areas, gift shop and special events just to name some of the awesomeness. Good to know that you can even rent it out! I highly recommend it to the Yelp Community :-) FYI: $5 Fee for Non-Members

It's tucked away in a residential area, which gives it a more private feel, even though it's actually pretty large. The parking lot is easy to access, and there are plenty of benches and tables for picnics or parties. The only thing I wish it had is a designated dog park area, since sometimes dog owners do not pick up after their pets. Other than that, I really enjoy this park and highly recommend it.

Great for dog walking, going for a run, or using the grass to come excise. Never had a bad experience here! * I do wish they would fix the tunnel on the 2-5 year old play structure, it's one of the coolest ones I've seen at a public playground, but it has been broken and boarded off for a long time. **Update! We went yesterday 2/22 and the tunnel was open!! Woohoo!**

Best park ever in Fallbrook!…read more It's dog friendly, kid-friendly and has a cute walking path all the way around it. Baseball field with lots of grass. This is not a typical California park- it's perfect. The bathrooms were all gender, new, stocked up on supplies and insanely clean!

I could just see my kids getting bored...and then saying..."Are we going home? I'm bored!". Well, Rancho Del Oro solved that problem...how?! Let me tell you! They have a nice area cornered off for kids! No really, it's true! It's right by the tennis courts. So, parents, take note...get there early, and set up right before the ground slopes downward. Kids can play and be within sight at all times. A group of hula hoop dancers brought out tons of hula hoops after their performance for the kids to play with. There were gymnastic mats too. I really couldn't believe how content my kids were. Two opening acts, and the the main act came out. The Mar Dels were the big performers tonight. I've wanted to see them forever...and they didn't disappoint. Tons of cover songs from the 1950-1970's, and a nice sized danced floor right infront of the stage. People were thoroughly enjoying their Friday night....and was this girl! My kids played while my friend and I ate pizza, brownies, and drank beer. Family friendly, dog friendly, great venue...I'll be back!

What an amazing discovery! You have to look real close on the side of the road because the sign is…read moresmall and the entrance is even smaller. Once you pull in though everything opens up into this lush wilderness. It has a huge parking lot. Once you get on the trail it is well maintained and plenty of space for dogs joggers strollers etc. Bird watchers this is your heaven! There were so many different species in here. The funnest part of this trail is there is choose your own adventure. Along the way you choose left or right over and over. You can't go wrong because it is a beautiful view no matter which way you turn. The best part of all is if you are the type to get lost like me it will spit you out into the parking lot because it's a huge loop. A huge loop with different trails what a great place! The only reason I gave it a four-star instead of a five is unfortunately it's built right on the side of mission Ave which is the main avenue going into fallbrook so there is a lot of traffic noise. That is only part of the trail though not the whole thing. I will be back here on my days off because it's an easy going 1 mile so I feel like I barely had to do anything, got into nature and got my steps in.

It was nice to see dog owners walking their dogs and letting them roam around taking full advantage of what the park has to offer. It is very close to a gate to enter Camp Pendleton. There is plenty of geocaching nearby too.

(Los Jilgueros Preserve around 3 mi from this one). After taking a few minutes to actually find the preserve, we managed to park on the street tucked in behind 3 other cars. Go through the white wooden arch structure and you'll find a bench under a big tree. That's where we ate our lunch with the bubbling sounds of the nearby Ostrich Farms Creek. There is a sign warning of rattlesnakes, but luckily we didn't see any. The paved path takes you up to quite an elevation where you feel like you're almost as high as the soaring birds above and you have sweeping 180 degree views over Fallbrook's rolling hills dotted with cyprus trees, large houses and below there was horse ranch. The hike is uphill, but I didn't find it especially 'steep', but that opinion might depend on your own personal experience and fitness level. When the trail flattens out, there's a small area where you can admire the view. Someone had placed a painted rock garden there. If you continue on towards the large houses, the trail is unpaved. We went a little further, but soon turned around and hiked back down to the car. We saw a dog-walker, another couple enjoying lunch on the bank of the creek and a few other groups of hikers.
