It sports picnic tables (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/dunes-park-imperial-beach?select=tu2UY8kPntBbDLytGQhnkg#oLCewuOB6H15Iv1lpecfow) with picnic facilities, such as a hot coal disposal container, and a horse shoe pit and a playground with equipment (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/dunes-park-imperial-beach?select=tu2UY8kPntBbDLytGQhnkg#lyzrVbrXWzUei0wir5qgKA). I liked the half court basketball court with hoop. It was in good condition (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/dunes-park-imperial-beach?select=tu2UY8kPntBbDLytGQhnkg#fp3jyoCVeWtEpdOynJDT1w) The park has several grassy areas that are well maintained and dotted with mature palm trees (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/dunes-park-imperial-beach?select=tu2UY8kPntBbDLytGQhnkg#G4_lUzmDW3YQRHlbi5HFiA). There is men's and women's bathroom with showers and water fountains (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/dunes-park-imperial-beach?select=tu2UY8kPntBbDLytGQhnkg#tu2UY8kPntBbDLytGQhnkg). Parking is free along the street, or one block south on Seacoast Dr., there is a parking lot that charges $2.00 for the day. If you want to have a large event at the park, you must acquire special permission from the number above. The park is small, but it has a lot to offer, no to mention the beach about 50 yards away.....

This park appears almost always busy with something going on from people just visiting the beach to kids playing in the play area. The basketball court is one of the busier parts of the park. Great views of the ocean and the Imperial Beach Pier.

    What a mass of beautiful greenery. Any outdoor sport you want to practice, this is the park to do…read moreso. Community Parks create memories for birthdays, holding hands, kickball, learning to ride the bike and sometimes relaxing under the sun. By the way this is a good park to learn to roller skate. Montgomery Waller is surrounded by homes, near schools, the community library, senior housing and actual vibrant neighborhoods. It is quite a beautiful layout of this park. From a couple of baseball fields, full on outdoor basketball courts, paved walkways and walking trails, and play areas. It's a lot of land. If you can't social distance here, then there's a problema. As you walk the unmarked course around the park you may see cheerleaders practicing, litte league baseball, Pop Warner football, AYSO soccer, father's pushing baby carriages, celebration of birthdays and dog walkers. I really enjoy how this park is elderly friendly and safe. The paved walkways is very clean and flat and no cracks, crevices or unleveled ground. There are several manageable inclines and declines. If I was too start a walking or running club I would train at this park. In fact, I see groups doing yoga, tai-chi and cartwheels. It's biiiig. There are two areas of play structures that will likely become boring after a couple of times because expansion needs to happen. The rec center where classes are offered is atop the hill and classes are usually free. I saw Zumba having a blast. Also, there are dog poop bag boxes which offer free bags. Don't let your dog poop on the paved clean walkway. The cons to this park are a few: Limited toilets. I saw one outhouse, and two single toilets in this big park. I guess because this neighborhood is 90% diverse, perhaps they don't use toilets. I guess. Cause this is ignorant for this space to not have real toilets around the entire Park area. The other con, is the walkway should be marked with mileage markers. Parking is available in the lots or around the park. I come here once a week and enjoy it a lot. It is mostly an unshaded park from morning to evening. It's not impossible to find shade but it is a task. Bring your umbrella and/or canopy. You will thank me later. Absolutely, I would recommend this park if you are near the area. Would I make a special trip? Ummm, probably because it is a best kept secret; many people don't know it exists. If you're a trainer or have an exercise class or meet up outdoor meditation, this is a perfect place to do it.

    One of the oldest parks in the South Bay. Been coming here for years, there is 2 of them in between…read morethem there's a restaurant. Both parks are good for parties & hangouts & BBQ's. When I was a kid most Easter's & Birthday parties were here. One park has a pier to fish the other has a loading deck for boats. When I was a teenager I came here as well but not for family gatherings but to hang out with friends. And it's a good spot to bring girls late at night & you know....play BINGO in the back seat :) the first park has alot of parking spots for that. Now that I'm a dad & family man I come again for birthday parties & also just to hang with family to grill & see the low riders on weekends. My favorite reason to come tho is to see the Sunsets with my daughters, have a late picnic, listen to music & just watch the sun set, love it. Me & my family's favorite park in the South Bay hands down. Now with the Gaylord Resort next door the park looks better & is extended. We will continue to go & see those sunsets & one day I'll bring my grandkids here too. See you soon J Street Park.

Needless to say they've made some big changes in the last nearly 40 years. Plenty of picnic tables and park benches throughout the area. Some on full sun some shaded. Of course the big feature of this park nice boat launching ramp. On my last visit I saw a squadron of pelicans fly past several times. Each time by the time I got my phone out they were gone. They usually do a good job keeping the grounds and restroom clean.

    I feel bad about leaving negative feedback on a FREE park, of all things. But I felt that the space…read morewas unsafe and dirty, so based on my recent impressions, I don't recommend this hike. We arrived before 8AM so the parking lots at the staging areas still had their gates closed. We parked on Hollister, around a block before Main. It did not look like there were any parking restrictions. So we started the hike on the western side of the park, which based on prior Yelp reviews, probably is not the best area to hike. As we progressed through the hike, we headed past multiple tents (unclear if seeing a portion of a homeless encampment or just scattered tents). We got startled by someone who seemed to materialize suddenly outside a tent into the trail. But what made us leave the area was an individual who was yelling angrily and cursing heading toward us. Maybe he was just not a morning person, but we clearly couldn't go any further. Other issues: Each dog we came across was an unleashed dog. The owners would be far behind, so the first two times, I thought they were wild dogs and was not certain of their friendliness. As an avid hiker, this does not seem to be the usual hiking etiquette. Trail is clearly demarcated and paved, but it seemed to have squashed piles of poo versus mud. Initially we went in the wrong direction and went under a dark bridge (see photo, which makes it look less ominous than it actually was). I think this direction actually does take people on a specific trail, but this one was not part of the 8mi out-and-back hike we were planning. If you end up here, you likely took a wrong turn. As we walked, I felt that the park smelled like eucalyptus mixed with something not so pleasant. Not sure what it was, but we had to switch frequently to mouth -breathing, which is not a typical problem I have during hikes. It was meant to be an 8mi hike but we turned back early because we did not feel very comfortable after being possibly chased so ended up just completing 1.6mi. Again, I hate to criticize parks, especially such a large natural space in a sea of urbanity. But this was not a fun hike, and I will never return unless the area becomes less unwelcoming.

    Tried visiting this park when in the area and first the GPS lead us to the Ranger Station. I read…read morethat this is where you should start the hike but there was a sign at the station warning people breakins are common in the parking lot.. & there was a man just sleeping in his open car so we left. We tried the opening by the Observation platform by the nursery and we were the only car there. Food scattered around and garbage full.. we went in for a quick walk and in the 15 minutes we were there saw glimpses of how it might have been a nice trail at one point. Unfortunately lots of trash/littering and questionable objects took away from the experience. It just felt very filthy.
