Many activities like pony rides, bounce houses, and fair rides. There are performances in the amphitheater. You can visit the animals....this part is bittersweet. All caged animals look sad.

This was a fun experience for me and my kids. There was animals, train ride, fair rides, and great…read morefood. Everyone was so friendly and the park is huge great for a nice walk or run.

The 2nd Annual 80s Rewind Music Festival hosted by Cota Vera in Chula Vista, CA was AWESOME!!…read more The event was FREE and had tribute bands: Talking Threads-Tribute to Talking Heads; L.A. vation-Tribute to U2; Strangelove-Tribute to Depeche Mode. The festival had food truck vendors, radio stations Magic 92.5 and 91X giving away goodies. DJ Hurricane Andrew played a lot of great 80s music. They also had a Beer & Wine garden and 80s arcades for the kids. People were able to bring their beach chairs and enjoy the live music. The new park at Cota Vera had a beautiful kids playground and event entertained adults and kids. This was one of the best events I've been in a while and look forward to next year's festival. Happy Yelping :)

As a toddler mom - I love this park. There's something for all ages including parents!…read more Huge grassy field, picnic tables for you and the family, play structures for all ages, swings, and more. The area is safe and there's plenty of space for everyone. A lot of Côta Vera (neighborhood community) events are held here. Plenty of parking surrounding the park itself. There's even a bathroom and I can happily report that it's clean! There's also a gas station walking distance (across the street) and a gated dog park nearby. 10 out of 10 recommend Central Square Park :)

One of the best parks in Otay hands down. There's so much space, breathtaking views of the lake,…read moremultiple gated playgrounds, etc. Everything is clean, including the public restroom. There are gazebo/pergola's with picnic tables available to rent. See their website. There's also camping spots and hikes nearby. I could go on and on, but check out this hidden gem yourself. There is a parking fee of $5.

We did our daughter's birthday here and it was so nice because of the nice breeze…read more Our gazebo location was #2. - biggest out of all 4. - it is kind of far from the playground though. - secluded. - it oversees the lake. Nice view. - it has a stage for dessert tables. -it has a nice size bbq pit (we didn't use it) -people park by the entrance and can walk up. - it has a secluded benches. -$200 to rent for the whole day. - we didn't have many bugs like other parks I've been to in LA which shows how clean they are. -closest to the restrooms !!!!!! This was my favorite part because I was pretty pregnant lol If I remember more, I'll edit the review.

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.

Always a great day and very spacious. Popular as one trash can was full. But staff on top of it right away. A must especially if you have any small ones. Or visiting guests.

If you're in Tijuana, I highly recommend taking a taxi over from the city to spend some time…read moreexploring this walkway. The drive over from downtown Tijuana is picturesque, with rolling hills and the border wall on your right, and the giant Pacific looming ahead of you. When I went in April 2021, you could only access the Malecon from the north entrance by the border wall. You had to get your temperature taken & then you were given hand sanitizer. Walker traffic was only allowed to flow north to south. The views along the walkway are beautiful. It really seems to attract more locals than tourists. There are vendors selling snacks and souvenirs and plenty of restaurants nearby.

The Malecon is a great taste of Mexico…read more So many great spots to stop and get drinks and food.

Lots of shade and cool at around 5p in July! *Not terribly crowded when we walked here...hidden gem! *Good sized grassy area to set up sports practice, have a picnic, or rest awhile...when I was here there was a kids soccer camp with just 2 groups of kiddos CONS: *Cobwebs in the drinking fountain near the playground...bring your own water! (See picture) *Cobwebs in the doggie poo bag dispenser....please remember to bring your own bags and pick up after your pup! (See picture) NOTES: *Yelp map does not take you to the park....it takes you about 0.5 miles past to a random intersection. (See pictures) After posting this review, I will let Yelp know. Use directions from the CV Parks & Rec website instead (https://www.chulavistaca.gov/departments/public-works/parks/locations-features-amenities-photos/explorer-park) *I didn't see a parking lot...I parked on the street as did others. Parking was not a problem when I was here. Can't say for sure on holidays.
