Playground for kids
Maritess C.

We came to this park since my daughter wanted play time. This park is located inside an apartment complex centrally located in the middle. It's also a dog park which is great but as I was walking through the pavement, I see tiny bits of dog poop. Kinda gross when you are walking around. Don't the owners pick up their own dog poop?! Ugh. Anyway, other than that, the playground was nice and simple. There were plenty of benches that surrounds the playground. Behind the playground is a huge grass area for kids to play or where dogs do their business. It was a cold day to be outside but sitting in the sun was nice. A very chill place to relax. There's side parking for visitors which is around 20 minutes. They also have a parking garage but you need to pay for the parking garage if you are a visitor. I parked in the 20 minute zone since we didn't stay long.

They have construction down the street so be careful!

Nice clean park. It's pretty quiet. The only complaints I have is that they a pet potty area like right next to the children's area. The other is that they are doing construction right across the street and you get a lot of the tar and drills from there. Not to mention that it is noisy. There is parking here too down the street and it's free for 20 min.

Clean!

Nice clean park, there is an enclosed dog part that is consistently mowed. This review is overdue as I've come here many times and keep coming back. It is in the middle of a condo complex which is very well mainyajned. The people here are friendly and local. Lots of picnic tables. Great for outdoor parties. The sand is very clean and loose so it is easy to brush off. But there is conatruction going on so all you hear are drills and trucks. If it doesn't bother you this is a great park to bang put at.

Brand new Park by City of San Diego which borders the domain by alta apartment complex. They have a playground, benches, barbecue pits, and dog bags around the park. Grass is really green, but with all the construction going on its far from quiet or clean. Once all the construction in the area is done it will be a very nice little park.

Bella is our Klee Kai on the right.

Nice, clean, and convenient park for those who live in the surrounding apartments. My husband and I love taking our puppy Bella here. She gets to interact with all of the other puppies and dogs in the community. Perfect for socializing dogs and with other neighbors . There are picnic tables. Doggie bag stations. Playground for kids. I give it 4 stars because it could have a little more trees for shade and lighting at night. We have let Bella run around off leash only because we trust her to come back when called. Many owners do let their dogs off leash here. However, some parents have complained about dogs being off leash in the park. I can understand their concerns for their children. Perhaps a gated area for the dogs to run free would earn this park a five star.

Hidden gem the city put in

First time here. Cool little hidden gem. Mainly, people come here with their dogs and their kiddies but it's not loud or crowded. Just everyone enjoying the beautiful day. I found a nice little area away from everyone to chill and read. Perfect distance from home, I will def be coming back

Considering I was locked in the dog park this morning and couldn't get out because the gate is broken. That deserves 1 star.

Cute little park. Has everything. Bbq area, tables, and a great playground. Only problem is people who don't clean after their dogs.

No one likes when you're hangry nor does your pup, obtain a parking pass from the counter and after your meal, cruise next door for your pup to just burn off some energy!

Civita Park in Mission Valley has quickly become one of my go-to spots, especially since it's just…read morea short drive from home. It's super accessible with ample parking, and I love that there are multiple entry points and routes you can take depending on how long of a walk you're in the mood for. This park truly has something for everyone. There's a splash pad, basketball courts, a great playground for kids, and even a giant chess game, which is such a fun and unique touch. It's also an amazing place to walk your dog--I bring mine here all the time, and he absolutely loves all the open grass and the variety of paths we can explore. One of my favorite features is the set of stairs that lead up toward the residential areas and the dog park. If you take them all the way up, you're rewarded with really pretty views at the top, which makes the little climb totally worth it. Overall, Civita Park is clean, well-designed, and perfect whether you're looking to be active or just enjoy a relaxing afternoon outdoors. Definitely a Mission Valley gem!

Pros: Spacious, plenty of walking paths, with nice clean facilities, which include 2 family…read morebathrooms with baby diaper changing stations and several drinking fountains. There's also a row of small fountains for kids to play, run through and splash in. Cons: It's a really nice park ON A COOL DAY. Lately, with temperatures 10 to 19° above "normal average" - or maybe it's just the new normal - it's hard to recall the last time we got to experience a cool day. But here, the way the gazebos, tables, and benches are set up reflects a pretty severe case of denial that this is Southern California, and not quite within walking distance from the beach. It WILL get hot whenever it damn pleases, with or without notice. It did so in February already, in case you missed it. We came a few times for the farmers market. Both days were unfortunately " 80°F" her weather report, which in reality feels like 92°F, and we had to scramble to find a little bit of shade, so that we could eat our street food without passing out from heat stroke. We huddled awkwardly on the curb under a small tree. Other people passing by with food in their hands looked at us with envy. NOT A SINGLE PERSON sat on the readily available benches with tables, because they were in the blazing sun, yet lacked any shade. Never mind an umbrella, not even holes to put one in!! Denial much?? It's really sad, because it's a beautiful place. It just DESPERATELY needs more shade for the visitors to feel comfortable without clinging to trees or the bathroom walls.

After we were doing doing some basic tourist-y things, I hopped on Yelp in search of a few parks located withing the vicinity. Maruta Gardner Playgound seemed to be the most entertaining and appropriate for my wild child. Parking was plentiful and the size of this particular playground was great. Not only was the look and design very unique, you really couldn't ask for a better view. Seating was plentiful and again, the design of things were so cool. Shade is easily found and the play structure is great for children + adults of all ages. Lastly, there are restrooms and water fountain located not too far. Shout out to Ms. Maruta Gardner!! My daughter and I thank you because this place wouldn't have been possible without you. Your dedications and love for your community was undeniable. Thank you for beautifying everything around you and rest in paradise. 5/5 Stars!! Definitely a must if you are in San Diego!!

I also love that it's right across the street from mission beach. We love to walk along the beach then come and play or vice versa. Generally safe area and haven't seen many homeless loitering about. Pretty clean and minimal litter.
