Per usual, there's bigger kids maybe ages 10-14 unattended doing dangerous stunts and/or blocking the water spouts. But the playgrounds are updated and very cool. The little one is better shaded. Fun place for an hour-or-less visit.

The bathrooms here are a bit gross (no hand soap, graffiti inside, the toilet paper was wet), but…read morebesides this, the park is beautiful. Green grass for picnics, 3 or 4 benches, wheelchair accessible bathrooms, but the 2 playgrounds they have are on woodchips. The playgrounds are both very small, but there is one for smaller kids and one for a little bit older kids. Overall, this might be a better park for adults looking to sit and relax, or kids that aren't picky about not having swings and lots of different toys to play on.

Nice park adjacent to Paloma Elementary School located in the Santa Fe Hills area of San Marcos. We…read morehave visited twice. First to watch our granddaughter play soccer and next to watch her play Friday Night Lights Flag Football. The park is easy enough to get to and parking is not bad even with youth sports taking place. The park has a pool, playground, tennis courts, a basketball court, sports fields and a baseball diamond. There are mature trees for shade and some spots for a picnic. We seem to visit more parks now that we have grandchildren. It is a great way to enjoy the outdoors and spending time with the grandkids is one of the greatest joys in my life.

This is a beautifully maintained park. I enjoyed walking around and exploring the fields. This park…read moreis mostly for team sports. I lounged under the shade of a tree and watched people playing soccor while I was there. There are also plenty of baseball fields. I will return during the splashland/pool season so I can review the fun to be had in there. Other then that, unless there is a sport event then I will go to another park. This one is great for family friendly or sport teams friendly. Lovely area, and a school surrounds its outskirts.

I rarely get out to this side of San Marcos but I wanted to check out this 'new' park. After…read morechatting with a local mom, I found out this isn't a 'new' park. It's a refurbished park...and it's lovely! There are two basketball courts, a large grassy area, one nice playground, and a separate area for swings. It's really a great layout. The only downside- there are no bathrooms here. Plan accordingly!

Definitely worth the price of admission…read more This park is clean and easy to get to. With lots of street parking available it's perfect for a quick session on the swings for my toddler. I'll be back for sure since my in laws live a few blocks from here.

It's not a big park and it is close to a main road, so this is definitely a place to keep your eyes on your kids. Pretty though!

This is a great park in San Marcos. It's really easy to find and there's a parking lot, even though…read moreit's a bit small. I've been here twice with my kids. Once was this past summer for an outdoor movie. It's a great setup. Today, we spent many hours with friends playing. There are swings, ropes to climb, and other equipment. Want to have a picnic? Sure! You have plenty of spots- tables, grass, or benches. Bathrooms are nearby- that's always helpful when you have young kids. I've seen park rangers there maintaining equipment and doggy bags. Keep it up! My kids enjoy this park and so do I. We'll be back!

There are restrooms, baseball fields, play area and playground equipment, and I saw a sign for a maze or glyphs or something like that. Park is in nice shape and was very quiet on a Monday on a holiday. The weather was gray and started raining a little so that could have something to do with it. It was nice to see dog owners walking their dogs and letting them roam around taking full advantage of what the park has to offer. It is very close to a gate to enter Camp Pendleton. There is plenty of geocaching nearby too.

Want to play with sand without having to deal with the beach and ocean debris? Well Leucadia Oaks…read morePark is close enough to the beach to give you that clean crisp air but far enough so you won't be bogged down with parking or other patrons. You can have an enjoyable morning or afternoon visit with your kiddos and be fresh enough to grab a bite and move onto your other adventures for the day. This playground has a variety of structures including slides, swings, climbing rings, and stepping platforms in addition the abundance of sand. In addition, there are plenty of benches and picnic tables for shared meal outdoors as well as a basketball hoop and skate park for those looking to take a break from the sand. For those looking forward to playing with sand, well you're in luck! They have an accessible water station (filtered water too for drinking) to help add that extra rigidity to your sand castles. There's a bit of grass for running but not a whole lot for field play. Otherwise, it's still good for picnicking. The park is rather quiet and it seems mainly locals come out here (most walked to and from the park). With that said, there's plenty of parking along the side of the park should you decide to commute out here. Overall, this park was pleasant and allowed our kids to experience sand as if they were at the beach and also play on a classic playground. Great place to soak in some sun for about half to a full hour before lunch or nap time (for the kids but I guess us adults too!)
