It does not have a large grass area for sports, but large enough for the little ones to run around. I did like the wildlife information stands with information regarding local wild life. I did notice that the fences are in need of repair and painting. The park offers a good size parking lot.

Favorite Park in the Scripps Ranch area…read more we refer to this park as the "Dinosaur Park" as it has a small dinosaur kids can climb at the playground. - Two different play ground for the kids (one for bigger kids and one for the little ones). - They have two swing sets - half court basketball court - fields FOR DAAAAAAYS (baseball, soccer, etc) - restrooms (not porta potties) we love that this park has big open fields. My 3 year old will just run forever and we enjoy that. we sometimes bring kites to fly or we will bring little styrofoam airplanes and throw them and watch the soar over the fields. sometimes the fields can get crowded if they have soccer practices, but there is always room to run even with them practicing.

It's the perfect spot for family picnics, bike rides, or just spending a relaxing afternoon outside. There are also some great, yummy restaurants nearby, which makes it easy to turn your visit into a full day out. I do photography as a hobby, and this is one of my favorite locations to shoot--the scenery is beautiful, so much variety, and has so much character. Overall, it's a charming, relaxing place that I always enjoy coming back to.

The park has some fantastic old architecture and there are plaques telling you about some of it.

There is a giant gazebo where a young musician was singing her heart out. There is a working old train, you can pay to take a ride around the park. Great spot for photography too, see attached photos.

Everybody and their grandma knows about Potato Chip Rock so lots of people wanting their photo on the Rock, but I was too impatient and didnt feel like waiting or socialize, so I just hiked there, saw it and came back down. I love this park, the lake is very pretty and soothing to see waterfowl and people enjoying the water. I decided to bike here today and its close to 7 miles away, 15 min by car, and about 40 min by bike. The bike ride is a workout as there are hills both ways, so be prepared for that. I havent biked in awhile but planning to get back into it, so took my MTB out for a spin and it def needs a tune up. I stopped by the lake and sat at some picnic tables that were shaded and had a nice view of the lake and the Lookout Restaurant and got to see a lot of birds too. Was so nice to be able to spend a weekend afternoon here, it was exactly what my soul & body was yearning for! On the weekends, there is a $10 parking fee, and free for Poway residents. I think on the weekdays there is no parking fee. I don't recall paying when I hiked Potato Chip Rock and it was a weekday during the holidays. I was on bike so no fee either. Ill keep this place in mind if I wanna do a 10K run and back next time, people on foot also free. A really nice local lake to get a bit of nature in! I will be back over & over again!

The split is about 75-25% in favor of neighborhood playing versus organized ball. The park is relatively new and it is very clean. The people who visit reflect the demographics of the neighborhood. The houses range in price from $800,000 to $2 million. The adults are mostly white collar. Many stay-at-home moms. All and all, very safe park. Good networking opportunities for small biz owners. :)
