On the way down to San Diego. We needed a place to let the dogs run around and stretch their legs…read more Found this place on Yelp. It's not to far from the freeway. It has both a large and small area for the dogs. Both are fenced in. Both have water and poopie bags available. For being in a neighborhood,it was pretty clean. It has a clay surface,like a baseball field. Which is what I prefer,no smell,and easier to keep clean. We lucked out,there was another beagle there today. To bad we really couldn't stay longer to play. But next time we know to plan ahead to stop at this place

They really dropped the ball when they decided to put the park right off civic center and provide no parking!

I've visited this park often, especially during the summer days. You will find two, shaded…read moreplayground structures. One for the older kids and one for the little kiddo's. Both are padded areas including the swing section. You have a decent sized sand area located next to the older kids structure. There are plenty of picnic tables spread throughout the park. Some of them are near trees too for shade. I like that the tables are placed near the play area so that you can keep a close eye on your little ones. There is a large basketball area (one backboard only) adjacent to the parking lot. Sometimes you will find a workout group exercising in this area. Its a great spot for young scooter/bike users when the court is not being used. But, there is also a great paved sidewalk within the park for that too. There is a portion to be cautious about, and that's the sidewalk along the main street. There is a fence on that side, but that only separates the grassy area within the park and the sidewalk. I've been to the restroom only once and it was clean and maintained. The park is well kept, and the grassy areas are maintained as well. Looks like they have been working in some other grass areas that is struggling a bit. Parking could be an issue during the summer months.

I really like this park. Two play structures- one for little kids, one for big kids, swings, and a…read moresmall sand pit. The bathrooms and water fountain is right by the park, too. The reason it received 4 stars instead of 5 is because there's only shade over the big kid play structure. Thankfully, both my kids want to play here, but man..it can get hot!

The picnic table area is directly right next to the playground, which is so ideal! The bathrooms & parking are a bit far of a walk from the playground and unfortunately no swings, but absolutely love this park!! (Also if planning a bigger event like an invite list birthday party I highly recommend calling vista parks and recreation to make a proper reservation for the covered picnic table area!The ranger comes out very early in the morning and mark it off as officially reserved signs! Brought me great peace of mind!)

About .7 mile), this park features an amphitheater, tennis (2), softball (2), basketball (3), volleyball (2) courts, an indoor gymnasium, plenty of parking, kid's playgrounds, small water stream, bridges and an amazing disc golf course (19 holes). Covered (or not!) picnic tables and trashes are available. Plenty of parking, plenty of shade along walkways, place is clean. There is a botanical park at the top of the hill.

I will say, however, that this place is so big that you can very easily lose track of your kids. There were a few times on our last visit where I was scanning the playground for a minute or two trying to find one of my kids after looking after another one for a bit. But don't worry. There really is only one in and out so you don't have to worry about kids wandering off if you are around that bottleneck point. This is a great attraction that I hope the park never gets rid of. It offers kids a space to run around & just goof off and be kids while also blowing off steam. The only point of improvement I can think of if maybe offer some more (shaded) seating for parents. On hot days that would be greatly appreciated.

He remembered it very well from our past visits. It is a second story playground and it is big enough for adults to shadow your littles if needed. On this day it looked as though an employee was monitoring at the top. I'm not sure if it was because it was near closing time or they are there for the safety of the little ones. There is a short wall that you could sit on to watch your kids from afar, This grand playground is great for the kids to burn some energy that's for sure! The kids have fun running place to place it makes me want to join them. If you haven't visit this playground it is a must. P.S. Grab some Apple Fries beforehand from the stand adjacent to the playground. Great snacking as you watch the play.
