The park could use a bit more maintenance. there is some grass but must of the park is dirt. There is one water station for the dogs and it works well.

My 18 month old still enjoyed the larger one and going up its three levels. Lots of slides. A climbing wall. Sand pit. Tables. And the ground is the cushy kind (not rocks and not mulch). They do movies at the park sometimes and the open lawn area has a small hill which makes it easy for viewing. The downside is that you can hear the freeway from here. And it smells pretty strongly of mosquito repellent (which is probably a pro and a con).

Someone brought their 4 month old puppy, and it was playing with our 10 month old pup. Her dog lost a tooth and she flipped out. All I can say is if it's your dog's first time interacting with other dogs, start them in the small dog areas. Or if you're going to make a big deal about your puppy losing its' tooth, don't bring them to the dog park... I'm pretty sure they can't start interacting with dogs until 6 months due to not being fully vaccinated anyways.

Parking was a little confusing at first, but you can park at the Metrolink station and pay at one of the little yellow kiosks. It was about $0.75 per 30 minutes, which felt pretty fair. The water is definitely colder here, even on a warm day. We had direct access to the beach itself from the lot. It wasn't super busy on the day we went, so it felt super calming to walk while the waves crashed against our feet. It's a bit narrow, but from the Metrolink, you could walk all the way to the pier. It was also cool to see the train pass by as well, right next to the beach! One noticeable thing was that the beach felt very pebbly, and there were many small rocks along the waters so we had to be really careful about where we were walking. There's also a restroom and a feet/body cleaning shower station if you're coming from the Metrolink parking lot.

The skatepark has a good flow and variety of terrain and the people were all ages and nice. Loved the Mountain View. The pickleball courts were relatively busy in a Monday morning yet we found a court right away and met people to play several games with. The courts had prison vibes with metal posts everywhere but it was kinda cool. There's a paddle waiting system and everyone we met were pleasant. We met the owners of AIKAI Pickleball and they were very cool and let us demo their paddles (which I'll be buying). There are Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced courts so you are sure to find some fun games. Tons of parking and I don't have a bad thing to say about this place. I wish I lived closer.

A beautiful little well tended memorial garden for Marines. Camp Pendleton in nearby so this seems…read moreespecially appropriate. Someone gave a lot of thought to the creation of this memorial. A large statue of a marine is positioned so that he is saluting an American flag. The park is located halfway up the hill overlooking the Pacific Ocean and the San Clemente pier. It is breathtaking and moving. My father was a Naval chaplain assigned to the Marines and served in the southwest Pacific campaign in WW2 under General MacArthur. This garden prompted lots of thoughts about his service. I was born in a naval hospital on a Marine base. I also grieved over the loss of a close family friend, a Marine helicopter pilot who died in a training accident at Camp Pendleton. There is accessible parking close by with a very short paved walk to the park or one can walk up a short and easy dirt trail from the San Clemente beach trail parking lot.

Zapata...with a bronze memorial plaque...placed strategically atop the section of the Memorial Wall! Now mom and dad can say they own a small piece of Heaven on Earth, in San Clemente Pier, CA!

He came to…read moreour house when she was 11 weeks old (other trainers wanted to wait until she had all her puppy shots) and immediately got us off on the right foot for behavior training. He trained my husband and me as well as our puppy! So grateful. Tommy has a gift for knowing how dogs think and he shares that knowledge as part of the session. We never felt rushed to finish a lesson when he came to the house, he just dealt with our issues and reminded us to keep practicing with our dog until next time. We even decided to enroll in his weekly puppy class so that our puppy would learn to behave around other dogs. His private dog park is a god-send as we live in a condo and don't have a yard for our puppy to play in. She loved going there and we'll be back! We highly recommend Tommy. He showed us how to anticipate what our puppy was going to do before she did it and correct her misdeeds before they take place. Five stars!
