    New playgrounds! This is one is for kids under 5!
    Claudia V.

    Great neighborhood park located in Rancho Del Rey community. New playground sets make this place a whole new park again. Thank you City of Chula Vista. I can come again and enjoy this park with my kids with safe play structures and enjoy nature. There's a trail around the park and also a few picnic tables. A big grassy area where you can enjoy a picnic on the grass or play soccer and basketball with your family. I didn't notice any public bathrooms so that's a downside. Overall, a nice clean park!

    Gorgeous park.

    One of the most gorgeous parks I've ever been to. There's picnic tables, kids playing sports, two playgrounds, and hiking trails. You can get a nice view of Rice Canyon on the right. Safe, pleasant vibes.

    This park is a hidden gem. A quiet space with a large field and a basketball court. There are two playgrounds, one designed for the little tikes 2-5 years old. The other is a beautiful structure that promote risk taking and appropriately, playful exploration kids will be able to grow with this playground and push themselves to try multiple routes of travel to get to the tall slide. Awesome park for birthdays or a picnic with the fam and little ones!

    Park overlooks Rice Canyon with open fields good for sports. Easy street parking. Something for everyone and picnic spots.

    No bathrooms , which is a real bummer. It has a nice big field, and updated play structures. I give it a 3 because there are no restrooms.

    Great park to take the kids to or walk the dogs. Well-maintained and relaxing. Great place to exercise or just take a walk and relax.

    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.
