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.

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.

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.

Such a beautiful park for all ages…read more There's many play structures for littles, a huge grassy field for all the sports activities, a beautiful pond with ducks and turtles. 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.

Built with probably age 7+ in mind but my toddler was able to enjoy everything easily. The slides were metal but it didn't burn anyone going down. I was happy there was a good amount of shade! Bring your own food and snacks. Prices are ridiculous. The ice cream truck was $6 for an ice cream sandwich. Prices are not posted and I didn't have the heart to say nevermind and disappoint the kiddos. Great park!

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.

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 :)

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.

What is awesome is you pay for the day and enter in and out as much as you would like. You can bring in food and drinks just not "party size" which makes sense! The kids loved it here it has a little bit of everything. It was perfect for our rainy day Also the manger was sooooo nice! A couple of the kids had a minor accident and she made sure to go out of her way checking in on the kids asking if we needed anything and even offering ice packs. There is a bit of remolding going on for future expansion it looks like.

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.
