Lots of shade and cool at around 5p in July! *Not terribly crowded when we walked here...hidden gem! *Good sized grassy area to set up sports practice, have a picnic, or rest awhile...when I was here there was a kids soccer camp with just 2 groups of kiddos CONS: *Cobwebs in the drinking fountain near the playground...bring your own water! (See picture) *Cobwebs in the doggie poo bag dispenser....please remember to bring your own bags and pick up after your pup! (See picture) NOTES: *Yelp map does not take you to the park....it takes you about 0.5 miles past to a random intersection. (See pictures) After posting this review, I will let Yelp know. Use directions from the CV Parks & Rec website instead (https://www.chulavistaca.gov/departments/public-works/parks/locations-features-amenities-photos/explorer-park) *I didn't see a parking lot...I parked on the street as did others. Parking was not a problem when I was here. Can't say for sure on holidays.

This park is pretty much for the community of Cotê Vera. There are signs that say that you cannot…read morehave private practices nor sporting events on the nice grass. The park consists of a very, very large field of grass and a food vending type Booth. There are also several bistro sets with two chairs each that line the field or grass patch area. It is across the street from the Life Time Gym and the Conserv Gas Station & convenience store. There is also a dog park across the street that is included in this park. While we were there, we saw a lot of signs saying that there's a Friday night event for the summer. Every Friday night between 5 and 9 PM they have food and music and events in this park. I think it's really great for the community members who live here.

The 2nd Annual 80s Rewind Music Festival hosted by Cota Vera in Chula Vista, CA was AWESOME!!…read more The event was FREE and had tribute bands: Talking Threads-Tribute to Talking Heads; L.A. vation-Tribute to U2; Strangelove-Tribute to Depeche Mode. The festival had food truck vendors, radio stations Magic 92.5 and 91X giving away goodies. DJ Hurricane Andrew played a lot of great 80s music. They also had a Beer & Wine garden and 80s arcades for the kids. People were able to bring their beach chairs and enjoy the live music. The new park at Cota Vera had a beautiful kids playground and event entertained adults and kids. This was one of the best events I've been in a while and look forward to next year's festival. Happy Yelping :)

This is one of the best kept secrets in San Diego! A beautiful city park that hosts a club of train…read moreenthusiasts. They are not an amusement park, but they provide monthly free rides on their track around the park. (they ask for donations, if you can afford a few bucks, they are non-profit organization, and all the money donated goes for track maintenance). They add great value to the park, and the city of Chula Vista is lucky to have them here. Their brochure says "Public rides second full weekend of each month, September-labor day weekend, from noon till 2-30pm. They, also, organize private rides for birthday parties. We went there last month, and today. (Will come again and be reserving a train birthday party in November for my kid). A bunch of friendly people of all ages, smiling, answering questions about their 1:8 scale trains and their club. It was very nice to see young club members helping at the station to load and unload the passengers. There are steam , gas and electric engines of different types. Some members made their own steam locomotives from scratch, using original plans! Wow!

Ridiculous! We got here September 2nd on a Sunday some young skinny guy was running the train he…read morelook lost first of all, more lost then Stevie Wonder in a dark room! Kids were asking him when the next train ride was & a dad ask too, he ignored it took off then half way on his solo ride he picked up some people that were not in line & he knew & ignored the line waiting for him. Ok cool what ever, he went around 3 times with them he made eye contact with us all 3 times. At these times he could of told us that was the final ride but never did. So we waited bout 30 min, why 30 min? Well the train is slow & he dropped them off before the line then talked to them for about 10 min hugged them then took his sweet time to get on then he drove by us only to tell us "That's it folks", his ass made us wait bout 30 min saw us 3 times & never told us the people he picked up that were not in the line was his final ride! That was a punk move & me & another dad were mad. Very unprofessional & rude he was lucky the other dad didn't chase him down & confront him because he wanted too but I told him it ain't worth it (that guy should thank me the angry dad was big) & he saw the kids & checked himself. That lost, slow worker needs to learn how to communicate & be better at his job. 3 times he went by us knowing it was the last ride (to his friends he knew & were not in line) & never said anything bout being the last ride & took his time after he dropped them off to come & just drive by us to say "That's all folks". Many kids waiting were upset waiting for 30 min, all this lost worker had to do was tell us "Last ride" when he picked them up & drove by us! Hellen Keller can communicate better then this guy. The only good thing is I saved the $5 I was gonna donate. Next time homie you see people in line & you know your on your last ride tell them don't make them wait as you make 3 turns by them, the train is slow enough to tell us you ain't on a jet bro you on a slow very slow train. I won't be going back I rather have Stevie Wonder drive me on a train then go there.

So fun we went for 2 hours. everyone was so nice and helpful; the food was good too.read more

Been coming here since it opened and I liked that it has upgraded to better and more open space…read more The kids have lots of different things to do and keep them entertained. We were there today to celebrate my friend's son's birthday and it was great just very hot and it felt musty in the room even though there's fans all over the place which is good. The reason I'm giving a 3 star it's because every single time I come the bathroom is not being kept and very messy. No toilet paper and water everywhere. I know it's always busy but that's also important to upkeep.

We had a private party here yesterday for my 5 year old daughter's birthday and will NOT be coming…read moreback again. There were so many issues with this place I will just list some of them here: 1. Confirmed number of guests but they didn't have enough chairs for adults so several people including my wife and I had to sit at a kids table on tiny chairs. 2. We only had three kids but I had to attend to my daughter frequently because she was crying and not being watched after in the play area. 3. Worker that was supposed to watch kids was constantly sitting and on her phone instead of trying to be helpful. 4. Sent them PowerPoint my wife spent an entire day making and although they confirmed they can play it they were not able to. They just put it on a thumb drive and plugged it into tv which just shows the pictures so no music, transitions or animations. Also, if the PowerPoint is large it won't play at all using this method which we were not told. I can go on and on but please save your money and don't come to this place unless you want to be disappointed and upset.

As a stay at home parent, this place is so helpful during the week just to get out of the house. It's perfect for rainy days or just something to do! Sometimes the workers will play with my daughter when there's no kids, which I do appreciate since parents aren't allowed inside the structure. The party package was decently priced before they changed it. They also create random rules that change out of no where & parents are just expected to roll with it without any notice or postings & trust me I have gone almost every single day. They randomly came up with us having to purchase their socks without posting it. They change their party pricing without updating it.

From the moment we arrived, she put us at ease and went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable. She checked in on us throughout our visit and genuinely cared that we were having a good time. Her kindness, attentiveness, and energy truly stood out. Employees like Isabella make all the difference, she's a gem and a huge asset to your team. Thank you, Isabella, for making our first visit so memorable. We'll definitely be back because of you!

To start, you do have to sign a waiver before paying, which sets clear expectations right away. The…read morepricing is very reasonable, which we appreciated. Just a heads-up--you'll need to purchase grip socks if your kids don't already have them. There are designated areas where shoes aren't allowed, which helps keep things clean. The facility has plenty of play structures for kids to explore and enjoy, along with a couple of bounce houses. The bathrooms were very clean and had four stalls, which made things convenient. While they don't offer a large variety of food, it's understandable since this isn't really a restaurant. It didn't take away from the experience at all. My kids absolutely loved it--they played for a full two hours and definitely could have stayed longer! I also really liked their system of giving kids a sticker with their playtime. It makes it easy to see from a distance when their time is up. There are seating areas both in the front and the back, which is nice for parents. Overall, my family and I had a great experience. We're not locals, but if we're ever back in the area, we would definitely return!
