This is perfect for relaxing or a picnic as it's spaced out with trees as well. Right by it is their large bathroom and outdoor shower (wash the sand off) station. A friend has mentioned she's been stuck in the bathroom before (on a different day) and was terrified because the gap at the bottom wasn't possible for her to crawl out from. So, I guess you're taking a chance with the bathrooms there. Good luck! This park is really nice because it's connected to the beach where there's a life guard or two on duty. As well as police patrolling the beach, they were really kind and great with little kids! The water wasn't as cold as I thought it would be, it was refreshing. The sand has bits and pieces of broken seashells so it may be slightly uncomfy to walk on. There's an area for swings, playground, and a few statues of sorts than can be sat on or climbed. There's a multi-use path that runs between the playground and the beach-- there will be bicycles, roller skaters, people jogging, or even just walking on it. Overall, Fanuel Street Park is a lovely spot and I'd recommend people to come here and check it out! You'd be surprised.

Well Looking for another park to go to in San Diego well this is another one I would recommend !!…read moreIt has a cool area for kids to play and the Path to run or jog around . It is perfect for all . We got here and we found parking and it was not a big parking lot but it was nice to park really close to the park . The cool looking views of Mission Bay and it does have lots of sandy areas and on the sand there is an area for beach Volleyball . As we were walking around this park it does lead you to Mission Bay . Lots of Trees and there is an area for you to relax and unwind in this green grassy area . Overall I do suggest you check this park out . We enjoyed it and shall be back !! Located really close to Pacific Beach also .

KIND OF DIRTY (3 stars)…read more This area use to not be THAT dirty but it's close to the tourist area, has the kids playground, homeless conquer parts of the bank, and the sand around the bay is littered with leftover trash from the night before (likely left by stupid college kids). Since there has been occasional shootings at Mission Beach in 2021-2022 there has been a lot more police presence (mainly during the day). Cop vehicle is always parked on the grass close to the kids playground. Still, I would be vigilant of your surroundings.

Kudos to the caretaker of this park because there's always overflowing trash bins for him to deal with. And it just wouldn't be North Park without the homeless. It used to be an encampment but the police have done a good job of shuffling them along - well that and all the puppies you'll see. The dog walkers have also done a good job of making them feel uncomfortable. There's also a dog park on the other side near the water tower.

The park is in bad shape. It is like a lost park. It is not very well maintained. It has a little…read moreplayground area, a restroom facility, a fenced in dog park, and some green space. There is tons of free street parking on the parks perimeter. The green space has a couple of picnic tables to sit, but it was basically an area that dog owners were using to play fetch with their dogs. It could be suitable for picnics, playing football, playing soccer or playing catch. The dog park is just a dirt area with a fence around it. It was packed. The playground area is on a bed of sand with rubber surfaced walkways. There is a bank of traditional swings, a bank of toddler swings, a large jungle gym with a bridge and some slides, a smaller jungle gym with some slides. and some things to slide and climb on. I am not sure if it is part of the park or not, but their is an ball field, that is in OK condition there. But it was locked up tight with a huge fence and no one can get onto the field. The bathroom facility was locked up too for some reason. You will find a desolate recreation center. I would assume that it is no longer operational or functional by the way it looks. The roof is in despair and the building is falling apart. This park has lots of potential, but has a long way to go. It seems to be neglected by the city. As it stands now, I would probably pass this park up and find a another spot to hang out.

Our 1st Annual Family Summer Event at Fiesta Island in San Diego, CA was a success!!…read more We had the perfect weather the kids and doggies enjoyed swimming in the warm water. The adults enjoyed kayaking and paddle boarding. We could see large fish jumping! It was cool to see. We got to Fiesta Island at 7:30am on a Saturday. It was already getting busy. We were able to secure a large enough space for a family of 65 people. We stayed until 9:30pm and could see the SeaWorld fireworks and drones show from there. It was so awesome!! If you haven't been to Fiesta Island, I recommend stopping when in the area. Happy Yelping :)

There's scattered porta potties and fire pits, as well as some trash cans. But for the most part you are on your own. So bring everything you need. On part of the island it's a no wake zone so there's lots of calm sections. On the other there's boats and jet skis allowed, so it's choppier. Pick your side for what you want! Overall it's not the nicest part of the bay, it's more dirt and oil grime then sand. BUT the drive up and personal space is hard to beat.

Perhaps whoever planned the park felt that only the folks that live in the neighborhood would visit and they could go home to use the restroom.

But I didn't know that Gallagher Square are had dedicated concerts until last year, a year after they made it a concert venue. I recently saw Tape B here and it was such a fun and seamless experience. Checking in was easy and there wasn't a big line, it was super crowded but still was able to walk around fine. The lines for the concessions and bathrooms did get more packed as it got closer to Tape B but we found a bathroom with no line that people don't walk to usually. Not gonna say where it's at haha. They had a cool little Coca Cola cooler where you walk through to get drinks or water. Love the grass area, we stood at the top and it was an awesome view. Sound was amazing and the vibes were great with the San Diego peeps! Would be back to this venue in a heartbeat!

Please take a moment to review the rules, etiquette, prohibited items, as well as policies for the operation of the courts on their website. Kiddo had a wonderful time running around at the park. We always enjoy coming to this playground when visiting downtown San Diego. Happy Yelping :)

Van camped on Silver Strand State Beach during a hurricane.. and boy was it a wild ride…read more This small beach sits on a peninsula in San Diego. It's so far down the coast you can actually spot the lights of Tijuana on your way in. While the trip didn't last long (the weather wasn't very kind) this campsite was impressive. They have access to clean water, bathrooms, and a direct view of the ocean. I really couldn't ask for more. Important to note: The road to the campsite is shut down around 8pm for security reasons. Once the entry to the road is locked, it's around a mile walk to the site itself. This was walk pretty miserable in pouring rain, so I wouldn't suggest Ubering to bars at night. Otherwise, I'd highly recommend this white sandy beach and site for anyone looking for a quick/easy getaway.

This is a first campground I've ever had to pay when you stayed there and a daily fee. The good news is there's a guy that comes around with the white truck about 9 o'clock every day for 20 bucks. He'll pump your holding tanks which is $10 more than on-site dump station fee of $10 but it's a lot less hassle. A big bummer about the beach is there's bacteria, hazard signs, warning users not to go on the beach because of the sewage coming out of Mexico so it's a nice place to go, but it's not my favorite

The grass is in decent shape but could use some leveling in areas and clean up from dog poop bombs here and there. There is a fountain near the center of the park but it was not working during the time of my visit. A local told me that it goes on during random hours. There are a few benches scattered about which are in good shape and the park does provide evening lighting. Skate boarding and such are not allowed at the park and there's no playground equipment. There is a parking lot and street parking available. The park is adjacent to the historic Lee House and Parsonage Museum.
