I was first introduced to this park many years ago when I came for my first swimming lesson as a…read morechild. After lessons, my brothers and sisters and I would go play at the park many times. Visiting the park as an adult no doubt brought back fond memories. The park still offers that green open space with mature trees, but new is the terrific community garden. I thought that was very cool. The playground equipment is closed for repair, as of this review, and they offer a small fenced off dog park area. Their plenty of parking and good restroom facilities on sight. The best part of this park is definitely the open space and hills and such. They still offer swimming lessons during the summer. This park brought back some good memories.

We come to this park pretty often. There's a ton of stuff for kids of all ages to do. There's two…read morejungle gyms (one for older kids and one for younger kids), plenty of swings, a basketball court, skate park, recreation center and a huge field to play soccer, volleyball, etc. Both play structures for the kids are covered as well to block out the sun which is really nice during the summer since it gets hotter than literal Hell in El Cajon. There's usually a lot of kids so you'll hardly ever have to worry about taking your child and them having no one to play with. The only issue that I really have is that there's usually a family who comes who's kids like to wreak havoc and mess with other kids and they never discipline their children. I've definitely had to check someone else's child and have a conversation with their parents over their garbage behaviour. If that's something you think you can handle then this park is worth a visit.

I am writing to share some observations from my family's visit to the park yesterday, as I believe…read morethey warrant attention. We generally find the park to be a wonderful amenity, and we deeply appreciate its natural beauty. However, during our visit yesterday, we encountered several situations that significantly detracted from our experience and raised concerns regarding safety and park regulations. While walking along one of the trails, particularly towards the end, we observed a large group of individuals from foreign country spreading throughout the area. Concurrently, we noticed a distinct and pervasive odor of cannabis. Further along the path, my family and I also observed three men gathered near a rock formation up the hill. As we were returning from our walk, we witnessed an individual openly smoking a cigarette. We understand that smoking is generally prohibited in public park areas, especially given the presence of families and children. Additionally, as my children were enjoying their scooters near the path, a vehicle approached at what appeared to be excessive speed, estimated around 30 mph, without slowing down. This incident was particularly alarming as it created an immediate safety concern for my children and other park users. Collectively, these incidents led us to feel a degree of discomfort and concern for our family's safety, prompting us to conclude our visit earlier than planned. I wanted to bring these matters to your attention in the hope that appropriate measures can be considered to ensure the park remains a safe and enjoyable environment for all visitors. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Reasons we love this park…read more Completely fenced in! This is not to say that we or anyone shouldn't watch their children and use the fence as a form of supervision, but when you have a super active child who wants to explore everything and a baby, it is nice to give your older child a little space to explore and know that if you don't have them on a tight lease they won't get hit by a car. The area over all is pretty clean and there is a decent amount of shade. So-So The structures (one for smaller/younger children and a bigger one for the older kids) are average. Nothing super special. Someone wrote a hate word on one of the structures. I'm not sure if it has been removed yet or not. Negatives The bathrooms/porta pottys, are on the other side of the fence and there is not a way to get to them. All the college kids park right out front and tend to park super close to other cars making it difficult to move. *******The city workers are the worst. There are multiple signs there they say to "LEAVE THE GATE CLOSED". Clearly the city doesn't care if you can read or not to have this job nor do you need to follow simple directions. On a number of occasions they just stroll in and leave it open. Thank goodness people keep an eye on their kids but seriously. There are signs there for a reason! The city needs to hire people who can read!

Tuxedo Park is a well kept public playground nestled in this hilly, residential San Carlos…read moreneighborhood. There's an open grassy field that the kiddie soccer clubs use. The space might be big enough for bigger kids. Grass coverage is nice with no obvious bare patches and seems level enough. Looks like a fine location to have an outdoor party with an inflatable bounce house. There's a single, full-sized basketball court. You know it's a nice neighborhood when the backboards and rims are intact with nylon nets. It's kinda rough when the nets are either replaced by chains or simply missing altogether. It's straight up hardcore when the backboards and rims are gone, never to be replaced. This playground has sandbox ground cover instead of wood chips or that softer dense foam surface similar to those squishy anti-fatigue mats. The picnic area is incorporated between the basketball and playground areas, with garbage cans and charcoal disposal containers What's missing at Tuxedo Park? A bathroom. Tighten up, because the nearest public facility is a distance away along Jackson Dr.
