    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.

    We also enjoyed The Children's Park in Downtown, San Diego, CA…read more When you walk towards the Children's Park, you'll be going through a walkway surrounded by water and you'll see birds swimming. The park is gated and safe for kids. Our son loved the playground. The park is across from The Children's Museum. They also have public bathrooms available with security. The park was nice and clean. There are a few picnic tables outside the park. Check it out! Happy Yelping :)

    This is more based on the dog park that's on the same lot as the Children's Park. This one uses…read moreturf, which i find has it's benefits on the days after a rainstorm since it doesn't get muddy. There are four big pine trees with separate retaining walls around three of them for owners to sit down. With it being so close to the bay, there's often a nice breeze that goes through the park. There's no divide between small dogs and big dogs, so it's best to just keep an eye on your dog, and many owners around here are usually respectful. The street parking immediately adjacent to the park is free, however, it has a limit of 30 minutes, and the parking meter workers are strict on it if they're around. I bring my dog here around lunch time because those who live/ work in the area tend to bring their dogs during their break time and my dog gets his socialization time. They close 8am-11am MWF for maintenance/ cleaning. Currently, both gates are broken so it's not as secure as it should be, and who knows when the city will actually fix it. There're a few agility structures and a water dispenser. The children's park itself looks pretty cool for kids with a lot of structures with slides and swings. There's also another separate area with fixed exercise equipment that looks well- maintained. The water feature in the park is a water feature, not a pool.

    Where can you find a large art sculpture and the many areas made of wood and the climbing is for exercise.

    Childrens park one of the best educational parks and for the many structures you can have fun the whole day.

    Cute, simple lil park surrounded by homes/condos and an Elementary School. The park is clean, has a…read morerestroom, and 2 full playgrounds and 1 basketball court. The grass has a few dried rough spots but not too bad if you want to lay out your blanket. They only have 1 large gazebo to rent for parties. A lot of ppl walking the park and neighborhood with kids and pets. It is a safe, family oriented neighborhood. The parking lot is small...but you can park on the streets. It usually is jammed packed with kids and cars once school lets out for the day....so avoid this area unless youre here picking up your kid during the week or there to meet or make some mom friends :)

    Cool park. Great playground for the kids. Parking is pretty slim but it's usually not packed. At…read morethis point I think the play ground could be updated. So many other parks are popping up around this area that we could easily go there but this our park. There are basketball courts nearby but good luck trying to get it for actually playing basketball. It seems it's a dance floor where kids bump loud music with profanity when they can clearly see 6 and under kids playing in the playground. There have been times when I asked to turn it down or play kid friendly music and sometimes they oblige but others they just ignore the request and continue to attempt to dance like the Jabawokeez. I said try. Or they do that whacking silliness and fight with the air.... Regardless of the various characters at this park, this park is pretty legit. It's kept pretty clean. I honestly can't tell you what the bathrooms look like inside because I just don't use public bathrooms unless it's an emergency.
