I came here on a Saturday for a Black Arts Cultural Festival which was in the open grass. They had speakers and merchandise for sale and food vendors. Over 100 people were there when I arrived later in the evening and there was ample space for people. Bring a blanket, friends, and food and you'll have a great time here.

I was able to sit, relax, and get some reading in without any distractions. There's a senior living spot across the street, so you'll see some of the residents hanging out, playing games, and enjoying the space too, which honestly adds a really nice, community feel. The park itself is well-kept and clean, which always makes a difference. There's plenty of seating, and on a good day you'll catch a nice breeze with enough shade to stay comfortable. I also noticed a small skating area, which is a cool touch if you're into that. Parking can be a little limited since the lot is on the smaller side, but there's also street parking nearby, so it's manageable. If you're into running or just want a quick workout, they even have bleachers you can run up and down. Overall, it's a quiet, easygoing spot that's perfect for relaxing, reading, or just enjoying some fresh air.

3.5/5 As of this review…read more Not perfect-but still a whole vibe. Some parks charge you to play-like Balboa Park. Others feel like they're always under repair-like El Toyon Park. This one? Somewhere in the middle. Came through around 8 PM while waiting on a friend at Paradise Valley Hospital. Just needed a quick walk. There's fencing, signs of construction, and honestly... families still using the playground anyway. That tells you everything. If people are working around closures, access isn't being handled right. But here's what matters: *People are actually using the park. *Families on the playground (fence or not). *Couples walking hand in hand. *People eating dinner solo, just enjoying the night. *Friends posted up talking. *Dog walkers getting their steps in. *And a full volleyball game going-with a group that brought their own net and made it happen. That's when it clicked-this park works because the community makes it work. And there's a lot to work with: *Big, open space (perfect for events, parties, just spreading out) *Clean, paved walking paths that feel good even at night *Updated courts (just bring your own net for now) *Bright playground with slides and wood chips for safety *Plenty of picnic benches (not much shade, but still usable) *Bike racks and scattered seating throughout Spring nights, fresh air, people outside connecting-that's what a park is supposed to be. And even with the construction and limitations, this place is still delivering that. Bottom line: Construction is to be completed by May 2026 "Parks are where people build memories." [Don't delay the re-grand opening ]

This park is not what it used to be..... very disappointing. They took down the playground because…read morethey were going to put a "new one". I wonder when is that going to happen?! I have seem more homeless leaving trash around. People with their unleashed dogs, dog poop in the grass. The "playground" in the field side is unusable they have let this park go. They only left the baby slide and swings. The bathrooms are always locked and the bathrooms at the field side are so disgusting, graffiti everywhere. It has become more of a hang out point for homeless. I really hope they fix this park!

It offers an amazing view of the Coronado Bridge and all its surroundings. On a clear day, if you took a picture, it would be postcard worthy.

It is pretty spacious with some rolling hills and a sidewalk loop. There are some nice views looking west and of the freeway, plus you can see if there's traffic before you head home right? Good thing I'm only two exits away. Overall it is well maintained and clean, with the exception of the stairs near the entrance facing the 94 freeway and of course, the restrooms.

Plenty of picnic tables, a soft sand playground with slides and climbers for the kids. The one negative that I've seen is the restrooms. They are dark, and need a good cleaning and painting. And update wouldn't hurt either. Other than that, a nice quiet under used grassy tree shaded park.

I searched on Yelp for interesting things to do around and found this. I am into gardens, trees, plants, flowers. I love nature and value enormously the effort that many volunteers have put to create this from a landfill. It is amazing. I did a long hour meditation walk around the park, checking every label to learn about the local flora. Learned also about 4 varieties of trees you can only find in San Diego county. I encounter a group of volunteers discussing the next planting they will be working on, chat with them and kept enjoying my own company in a meditative state. It is a great place to relax, very recommended a visit for nature lovers and people who like to get off the beaten path too. There are so many different corners and angles in San Diego and this neighborhood is an interesting discovery

We decided to visit this location to get a nice low impact walk as a workout. The weather forecast…read moresaid that rain was expected so it was a quick 30-35min walk that we planned. When we approached the location, there was a co-Ed little league team ending their evening practice. There were about 5-7 cars of families packing up from the field and departing the lot. The parking lot can hold about 35-40 parked cars, with 2-3 handicap parking spots as well. The field is used by many weekend adult soccer players so Saturday and Sunday is normally jammed packed starting at 7am and ending about 6p. There are cars that line the streets in the neighborhood during this time. This recreational center is a very popular spot for little league games, adult soccer on weekends, the Neighborhood Festivals, birthday parties, recreation center clubs, and school break camps. The indoor space is rented to martial arts classes, birthday parties, baby showers, sports banquets, and other private events. The indoor space can hold about 40-50 people when they setup events. There is a half basketball court on the side of this recreational center but it is not marked up as a half court. It just has plain cement as a court, balls can be checked out from the staff when they are open. For Easter and other holidays they sometimes have special events that the City of SD Parks & Recreation Dept hosts, with our tax dollars, and they are great for the kids in the area. I especially like to see the "Teen Nights" as they offer at risk youth an opportunity to participate in meaningful and positive events. There is also free WiFi here. Overall, great location to take a walk on the field and nice place for little ones to play in the smaller playground.
