It's nice that the city paid homage to one of the founding German settler families in this area by naming a park after them. Looking for a unique outdoor venue that's off the beaten path? This is a great place for parties with small groups, and it could even accommodate larger groups. Four of the picnic tables are isolated and private from each other, but there are also three tables situated together next to the grassy field. You could certainly host a decent sized event here. There are no signs posted, but I've seen people there with their dogs and it doesn't seem to be a problem.

Lil' Tommy, our Yorkshire, wakes me up every morning with a grunt; translation: It's time to go to the park!!! My wife rolls over, meaning I need to get him out. We walk down the block and a half towards the J Street entrance, stopping by Its A Grind for my "Large Black", and then head toward the park. East Village Square has a good size playground on the north end, with rubber surfacing to keep the kids from getting banged up. It is surrounded on the North, East and West by buildings, with quickly filling retail space, and bordered by Petco Park to the south.

It's not a very larger park, but large enough to bring the little ones for the playground, play basketball on the half court, have a picnic on the large grassy areas, relax under the shade of beautiful mature trees, or a have a picnic. The park is dog friendly. In fact, there was a dog training session in progress as we visited. The only drawback to keep in mind was that I did not see any restrooms in the area, so it's more of a neighborhood park. The park is good for walking around its perimeter, too, which was the reason for out visit, in addition to the chatting. Nice park.

Anyone can use it, and reservations can be made for parties up to 150 people. There are no tables, benches, parking lot, or restroom facilities. The park is edged with engraved cement slabs bearing the names of La Jolla Shores residents and businesses that contibuted to creating this park in 1972, originally named Mata Park. These slabs form an open air time capsule from over 50 years ago. I found it very interesting going around reading them.

It is a nice patch of green grass that also has Pump Station 27 hidden away behind some fences and plants. I was lucky to find a parking spot in front of Laureate Park today so I could go to the beach. I noticed the park and since it is located near many of the great places to eat in the area, many people will picnic there or just hang out. There are some offices nearby and lunch time brings out a lot of the workers to enjoy the sunshine. Though Laureate Park is kind of smallish, I always applaud open spaces and green areas--especially in congested areas. Though one of the most beautiful beaches in all of San Diego is just a few blocks west, it is always great to have a nice little park like Laureate.
