Harveston Lake is a popular destination and location for my walks and other residents of the community and surrounding areas. The ducks, the turtles and the picturesque beauty of the lake through the seasons, sunsets and beautiful sunsets and to the overall experience and tranquil vibes of one's walk. I am very concerned about the ecological impact the lake is having on the habitat due to the condition of the lake at present. The lake is overrun by algae, has a revolting smell, and a large volume of the fish that lived I. The lake have died and floating on the surface. Serious action is required for safety of all humans and wildlife that flock to this man made lak read more

This is a really nice park with ducks in a residential area. I used to sit at the benches here before I got my hair done. My stylist worked at one of the salon in this neighborhood so id come here right before. Its a nice path for an easy walk and there's hardly people here. There is a playground and a tiny pool of water. Lmao! For this being around a bunch of houses, this park is impressive. read more

Definitely 5 stars. A must for anyone to experience. Great walking trail around the park and lake runs about 1/2 mile each lap. It is absolutely gorgeous, surrounded by a quaint neighborhood and encircled with Cape-Cod style homes. This is a delight. I hope one of my attachments shows the entire video of a kid catching a huge fish. He was even surprised himself I think! It was a great experience just watching that! There is also a playground for the little ones attached to this park and a very scenic, chilled out atmosphere. read more

What a great park to stop out when coming from San Diego area back the IE. Our kids get antsy on long drives and this is always a great place to stop for a stretch and to get out of traffic. There's a large lake to walk around with ducks,geese and turtles. There's a playground with literally a super convenient bathroom right next to it. And it's surrounded by a beautiful neighborhood of cookie cutter houses. I would say the only downfall is parking can be tricky if you don't know how to parallel park read more

We have been frequenting here for the past 10 years, from visiting the ducks, to going to the playground, to walking the paths, to my kid's cross country sessions to homecoming pictures as well as shooting family/holiday pictures, we have done it all. It's always beautiful, clean and well kept. The bikers, joggers and walkers alike are all considerate of one another. The playground is a fun pit stop, there is a swimming pool, rec center, snack shop and a place to rent paddle boats as well. There is plenty of parking and just good family fun, a place to chill and relax. read more

This is a very gorgeous park. I'm actually right now having a picnic here while watching the ducks having fun and also so many people with strollers and their babies and other families playing in the playground with their toddlers. Lots of people exercising around. This is a very nice loop. It's very sunny and pleasant. I was not expecting to find this wonderful lake. I was at the job assignment around the area and search on Yelp and found this perfect gem. There are plenty of trees and also there are lots of gazeebos that offer shade spaces. This is the perfect spot for a gathering, for a picnic for meeting some friends. Perfect photo opportunities. I saw couples on dates with flowers and all and I found everything so beautiful. There is some community attached to the park and the lake. They all look Nantucket style houses. So pretty and lovely. Another reason why I like Temecula and discovering all the nice things around here. read more

If walking isn't your thing and you'd rather sit and relax, there are plenty of places to sit by the lake and have a picnic. Use the benches provided or sit on the grass. Just be aware that the sound of plastic opening, attracts the resident ducks. There's also a park that's great for small children. read more

Some people fish there but some rules. read more

This is a beautiful park located within Harveston planned community. It's a 17 acre park with a large duck pond and a playground. There are several gazebos located throughout the walking path. You can also rent paddle boats. Park looked clean and well-maintained during our visit. Even with so many ducks, I didn't see much duck poop. The houses surrounding this park are very nice as well. Architecture reminds me of classic American houses, but with modern twist and amenities. There are several signs with COVID guidelines but about half of the people weren't following them. I saw several parents at the playground not wearing masks or social distancing. There isn't a designated parking lot for the park. You just have to find parking around residential streets. I came with my family today (Saturday) and didn't have any problem finding parking right by the park. read more

Such a beautiful park! Honestly it's my fav! Come day or night! The Ducks are the cutest and there are plenty of picnic tables or benches to eat or relax. Try the paddle boats or just enjoy the pretty fountain views. There is a mini mart also you can stop in at to grab a drink or snack. Always a fun time at the kids playground or enjoy a walk or run. You can also bring a bike or scooter etc too! Whether stopping through the area or a local definitely a spot to spend some good o outdoor time at. read more

First time here and, boy, I feel like I've traveled from Temecula into a scene from a Nicholas Sparks novel. The lake/park is surrounded by a community of adorable, colorful homes. It is truly beautiful and relaxing and feels like a very safe neighborhood. I would definitely feel comfortable coming here by myself and jogging around the lake for a little exercise. It's also a perfect place for a date... lots of grass areas for a picnic, there is a mini-mart where you can get ice cream, and you can even rent a pontoon boat! Definitely Nicholas Sparks novel status. Kid and dog friendly, too which is always a plus. read more

First off thanks to YELP and yelpers for providing these great reviews for this park. Its absolutely awesome! And ALL ages park with a pond (fishing optional) also great to to take pictures here, so don't forget your camera. It's very well maintained and clean. My two year old loves the ducks and the playground. From what I saw dogs are welcome (of course please laws in affect) Boat rides are also available 2 people for $20 for 30 minutes $20 added to every 30 minutes. That's pretty pricey for my taste. I will definitely be returning to this park in the future My only downfall would be that you can't grill here read more

Beautiful park, never over crowded. However people need to stop leaving ducklings there, the older ducks attacked one some people dropped off and before could stop it.. It had sprinted to the water, I was incapable of catching it by then and It tried to go towards a group of older ducks and they kept trying to bite it and attack it.. I have no idea if it survived.. but they should put signs up educating people. read more

Great lake located in Temecula. It has beautiful walking and seating area. It is very pleasant place to be at. During the summer they have the boats for rent. I really enjoy this place just for a walk, There is also a small store but the lake for any snacks and drinks. Really beautiful and calm place. I highly recommend it to everyone. read more

I have brought my kids to this lake a few times. This time we decided to rent a paddle boat. The business does not take reservations and runs on a first come, first serve basis. It's definitely a small business and looked ma and pa-ish. But the owner and his wife were very pleasant with my family and I. We rented a boat for one hour and had a blast. After returning the boat, the owner invited us back soon and even gave me info about the larger boats for future rentals. I would recommend the paddle boating for maybe a half hour or hour at the most. read more
