After having breakfast nearby, I walked down to Escaya Park to go for a walk. The park is…read moreinteresting because it has two levels. The top levels basically has a large grassy playing field. In fact, there was a flag football game going on when I visited. The park is very well kept and has a lot of good things to offer. It offers BBQ stations, drinking fountains, a shaded structure with tables, restrooms, hot coal disposal, modern playground equipment, and basketball courts. My favorite part about this park is the amount of green grass. Oh yes, the gazebo is available for rent.

It's a nice park just for a quick visit at the playground. But for parties, I can't recommend…read more There's some sort of an air pocket that makes it windy all day long. The gazebo is rented at $353+ and you will also be charged with a security deposit (refundable). The food gets cold very quickly. No candles or food warming element can stay lit as the wind keeps blowing them out. Table cloths are flying over the food, etc. All decorations are blown away. Terrible terrible experience. All of our efforts preparing were wasted. No electricity as it turned out it's a separate request in advance and additional fee. So what I suggest is before making a reservation, visit the park first and see for yourself. I wish we read the reviews first.

Theres also a ton of stores and restaurants across the street too. What more can you ask for? It is located on a busy street, so expect it to be loud. There are two small parking lots and street parking available as well.

All these positives but huge negative is lazy or entitled dog owners. Not cleaning up after there dogs. .

Everything else is great had a person cleaning the pond.

The park has a lot to offer, including well maintained grass fields, well maintained restrooms, and a well maintained covered dining area. This was the first time I've been to a park that had a concrete hockey ring. The basketball courts were very good and so was the condition of the walking and jogging lanes around the park. The park offers a good parking lot and a nice view all the way down to the coast on a non foggy day. It's a good park to bring the family and exercise.

One of the oldest parks in the South Bay. Been coming here for years, there is 2 of them in between…read morethem there's a restaurant. Both parks are good for parties & hangouts & BBQ's. When I was a kid most Easter's & Birthday parties were here. One park has a pier to fish the other has a loading deck for boats. When I was a teenager I came here as well but not for family gatherings but to hang out with friends. And it's a good spot to bring girls late at night & you know....play BINGO in the back seat :) the first park has alot of parking spots for that. Now that I'm a dad & family man I come again for birthday parties & also just to hang with family to grill & see the low riders on weekends. My favorite reason to come tho is to see the Sunsets with my daughters, have a late picnic, listen to music & just watch the sun set, love it. Me & my family's favorite park in the South Bay hands down. Now with the Gaylord Resort next door the park looks better & is extended. We will continue to go & see those sunsets & one day I'll bring my grandkids here too. See you soon J Street Park.

I've been visiting this park since 1987 when I had my…read moreapartment on 4th and H. I was much younger then, and would ride my bike to the park to get out of the house. Needless to say they've made some big changes in the last nearly 40 years. Plenty of picnic tables and park benches throughout the area. Some on full sun some shaded. Of course the big feature of this park nice boat launching ramp. On my last visit I saw a squadron of pelicans fly past several times. Each time by the time I got my phone out they were gone. They usually do a good job keeping the grounds and restroom clean.

It's also directly across from the Gaylord Hotel, which makes it super convenient. There's usually an ice cream truck parked nearby, which sounds great... until you get the bill. I paid $10 for two ice cream sandwiches--like, damn, a whole box costs less than that! So maybe pack your own treats if you're coming with kids. That said, it's a cute little park and a great place for the kids to burn off some energy. Definitely worth a visit!

The parking is limited but expanded as there are gates all around where you are notnsupoose to park, but people still do. The pier is where a lot of locals come to fish, and I've seen sharks, stingrays, and other fishes caught. Good place for kids to come. They've added tsunami signage. Can't wait to see what this will become and also sad that it will probably draw a bigger crowd and not be a local place for us to spend the weekends.

It's located right next to Chula Vista Golf Course which has a pond you can enjoy feeding the ducks and turtles (see pic). The playground is super fun, perfect for you and your children to explore.

Now it can get quite toasty for the parents because there's really no shade coverage at all, but it's perfect for the kiddos to run around through the splash pad and cool off. I liked that the pirate play structure had a variety of climbing, balancing, hanging, and sliding things. There were two bucket swings (no regular swings). And I really liked that the sand box area was pretty well separated from the splash pad and play structure. It's a big pet peeve of mine when there's sand everywhere at the other areas. As we got there relatively early, parking was still manageable but it was definitely full as we were heading out by late morning.
