Dogs are not allowed, so there is only a few deer poops to contend with in the grass. There is also several large picnic tables throughout the park, so you can bring a lunch or sit and enjoy a coffee while the kiddos play in the play area. They also have small restrooms on site that are in reasonably clean condition. This park is only a block walk from a local coffee shop, or you can walk about two blocks in the opposite direction and be at Lover's Point. Bring a jacket though, as the proximity to the water can deliver some chiller winds when the marine layer is moving in/out.

Doe Park is a nicely maintained park within the Ord housing community. It offers a variety of play…read morestructures for kids from toddler to elementary ages. It also has volleyball, basketball, horseshoes, picnic tables, a grill, bathroom facilities, and a dog park. Though there is not much shade, there is a half wall around the play structures that provides seating for parents or other caregivers. There is also a wall to practice your tennis on, but no tennis courts. The people who we have met here have all been very nice and it is quickly becoming our favorite park, other than Dennis the Minnis. Our dog especially likes it but we wish there were more dogs there for her to play with. The only actual issue with the park is the sharp thistle weed that is growing everywhere. If the park managers don't do something to contain that situation, it will probably take over the whole field and dog park. There is a small parking lot and street parking around the park but most people seem to walk there from their neighborhood. It is definitely the best of the military parks we have been to, so far, but we are still new to the area. See ya there!

I would say this gym has many services to offer: -Free weights -Cardio machines (elliptical, bike, treadmill, stairs) -Cable weight machines -Multipurpose room (spin, aerobics, pads) -Basketball court -Sauna/Showers -towel service (small towels) -fitness rentals (bikes and such) The capacity is smaller though if you compare it to the clientele and it can get very crowded during peak times (lunch, morning, and right after classes). They have long hours though, so you should be able to find a time to work in a routine. I haven't tried any of the classes or programs yet, but they do have several. Staff are friendly and there are normal gym etiquette things you deal with the other customers (people super setting, not wiping down sweat off equipment, etc).

Few things that I didn't like ... the SUPER steep green slides on both the toddler playground and the big kid playground.

The park is also very well-maintained and clean, which isn't always a guarantee with public playgrounds. It's the perfect place to let the kids burn off some energy in a safe, fun environment. Highly recommend!

Other than the aquarium this was the main reason we chose to come to Monterey and stayed an extra night just to have the day to visit the park. Lucky (I guess) I saw a worker and asked why it was closed. He said if kids are in school, then Tuesdays is when they close for maintenance.

Porter Youth Center offers before and after school care, summer programs, and teen programs. Our…read morechild has attended for a year, through both a summer session and his Kindergarten school year. We love Porter and the people who work there. They have a variety of activities for the kids, offer breakfast before school and snacks in the afternoon, and have genuine care and concern for the children. Unfortunately, as it is located on the former Fort Ord, now the Ord Military Community, and it is funded in part by the Department of Defense, recently DoD policy has made it a military-dependent-only program. Still, if you qualify for it, it's well worth checking out.

The…read morestaff spends more time on their phones out of view of the cameras and not paying attention to the kids. I have witnessed it several times. During the pandemic and currently, kids are seen running around yelling while kids are on their zoom calls. To many times the teachers on the zoom call have to ask the kids that are at Porter to mute their mics. The kids are unable to participate in classes properly or even hear their teachers. To add, if a child is having a difficult time, they coach your child to either throw things at the walls, if they misbehave, they get ipad time, and are allowed to play criminal games on the ipad called Roblox. When parents sit down with staff to address any issues or behaviors, they agree but do not follow through with the suggestions of the parents about their kids. They are not there to help your kids, but there for a paycheck. There have been times where I would go pickup my child from Porter and there is a report. Instead of the staff member for that day approach me professionally, they would place bets on who would run and tell me that my child had a bad day, laughing and carrying on. Very disappointing! Imagine being a service member and the before and after school (full-day) program stresses you the parent more than being in a high stress job already. What does that do for the child? Ill tell, they too feel some type of way. It is not difficult to communicate with parents on how to better provide for your child, it isnt. If they would actually listen and communicate with their staff, there would be progress! It is very stressful when other schools in the area have long waiting list so your stuck with a subpar something. Oh yeah, when you address the issues that you see, if they dont like it, they take it out on you and your child with reports. They dont like when you leave comments on the reports. They expect you to sign and call it a day because when they are audit, those reports are looked at. Choose your kids school wisely, it may save you and your family some stress.
