I love Mount Laguna!!! I've been hiking and mountain biking out here for years. It's got such a…read morevaried landscape, ranging from huge desert overlooks to green meadows and trees. There is adequate parking along sunrise Highway pretty much anywhere you go. You are supposed to have an adventure pass to park here and they have a kiosk to pay for it but it never works. Fortunately if you have the America, the beautiful pass, you can put that on your dashboard and that will cover it. Today, my man and I went out and did a hike on the PCT portion to Foster point. Absolutely stunning, one of my favorite overlooks in the area. On this portion of the trail, there is very little tree cover and you've got to be careful not to get dehydrated. It was only 74° and it got toasty in the sun. We were out there for three hours, and I had 3 L of water. I drank pretty much all of it and a Gatorade bottle that I brought. If you come out here for biking, be sure to hit Los Gatos Trail. It's so flowy and fun and has a bunch of little features you can play on. Noble Canyon is a legendary trail but if you are going to ride it, make sure you've got strong bike skills because it is quite technical.

Some of my favorite hikes in the winter are here. Previous years when I came here in February there…read morewas snow but no snow when we went today. We could tell that the snow recently melted because parts of the trail was muddy. There are at least 4 trails here. The trails range from easy to moderate depending which one you go on. The views are stunning!

Love this place, as it is one of the few places in south San Diego where you can play some…read morebadminton, table tennis, indoor volleyball and indoor pickleball as well. And the best part at least for badminton is that it is free. Well now you have to pay for parking as of January 5th, 2026, but once inside badminton is free, you just have to sign up. The table tennis, and volleyball, are part of clubs where I believe you have to be a member (San Diego table tennis club). This is just a great place for people to meet outside, as they have a lovely park with a fountain and nice walkways. It's a hidden gem for a recreation center. Get there early as the place fills up. If you are going for badminton you have to have your whole party there before you can sign up. The only not so great part was the introduction of paid parking for balboa park in general. But you know what we had it free since 1915 or something, so not horrible. Besides the proceeds from the parking fees will go to making balboa park even better, I hope.

Love this place! Would 100% recommend to play badminton here. The service is great wait time is…read moreonly 30-45 min. But today I went my older sister, her bf, my friend and I.. tell me why I had to wait a full 1hour.. each time I wanted to play I would play for only 30 min.. WHY ARE THESE OTHER PEOPLE PLAYING FOR A HOUR AND IM PLAYING FOR 30 MIN AND WAITING FOR A HOUR. Other than that i love this place (leave immediately if you see the person checking you in is a old lady)

Finally! The park's remodeled and 100% better! The whole nine. I'm excited for the kids. My grand…read morekids love it. I take them after school for about a good hour, 1-3x per week. They get their playground fix and I get my fresh air and the park is just down the street from where I live. I also get to see beautiful sun setting skies. Equipments are safe, both at the older age kids area and toddler. Roomy, clean and "cushioned" ground. Safe. Side note: if you're not paying attention to your child, he/she can get "hit" by the zip line that's moving through. I had witnessed a 4yr old hit by one. He wasn't paying attention as he ran across...nor were his parents. I don't like the older kids (teenagers) and adults utilizing the playground equipment (aka hoggers) and play space. I see adults sitting on equipment hangout out while "watching" their child(ren) and I've seen others using the equipment (ie swings, zip line, see-saw, twirling chairs, etc). It ridiculous and there are metal signs posted indicating 12 years and older on playground equipment are not allowed. There are cemented seats that surround the play area and there are benches too. Not sure why adults are using the equipment as seats. Bring your own folding chair if you need to sit down. The entire park still needs work done. The grass area that's used by AYSO soccer teams, the parking lot being too small and this is just to name a few obvious items. I guess it's work in progress. Recommend playground

I love this rec center! The bathrooms are always clean and it's so nice that the new park is huge!…read moreThere's even an outdoor gym behind the rec. Another great reason why I love this community is that all the people in the office are great! They care for the community and they're always looking out for the kiddos. I've seen them give lunches and snacks to kids (free) so in case anyone needs something to eat, please stop by their office bc they do care and they offer a free nutritious snack or lunch. Very sweet staff, I will always recommend!
