The park is about 2 acres acres and has a beautiful gazebo which is a really nice place to sit and relax. There are a ton of shade trees because Temecula in the summer can get very hot. The park has nice and clean picnic tables and BBQ grills. It is not usually crowded, but use of the BBQ area can get crowded for a kid's birthday or other family event. The entire are is very clean and you can bring your dog. Keep them on a leash. The restrooms are clean and safe. The Sam Hicks Monument (designed by Hicks) is made out of a 150 ton block of white granite. The monument was designed by Hicks to honor those who came through many years ago on their way to another California area to make a life. It is lovely. There is a super nice place area for kids and they will be busy about an hour. It is not huge, but wine/grape themed and super cute. It is a great place to park, go to the park and then walk over to Old Town.

Needed to write a review for the splash pad component. The team working the splash pad during 2021…read moreCovid precautions did a great job. We drove the hour to come up from San Diego to Temecula to visit this park and spend the day with littles. Arrived at noon on a weekday, and the team was very informative about their lunch time closure and process. Check the city website. They do have great information and details there as well. I love that things were fenced off -- both around the playground and again around the splash pad -- to moderate the number of folks entering and exiting. The team working there is very kind.. keeps a good eye on the littles (parents do need to enter with the kids).. and do moderate the number of folks to avoid over crowding. This splash pad is associated with the Margarita Community park (https://www.yelp.com/biz/margarita-community-park-temecula) but the splash pad itself is listed separately with the city. I wanted to recognize the great job the team working the splash pad did. It's not huge.. but it's just right for kids up to early elementary. Mostly for the littles in attendance are of the age where they are just discovering their walking skills and can enjoy the splash of water on a hot day. The other kids weren't too crazy or rambunctious.. so I felt safe. Parents that day (weekday during school hours).. did pay close attention to their own children to keep everyone in check. There is one outdoor shower post to rinse off (the water is highly chlorinated -- or has a smell like outdoor pool water). Not much shade so definitely bring the sunscreen and hats. Recommend water shoes... even though the ground was clean and paved, the ground does get a bit toasty and it's just safer imo. They run in 55 minute increments to then shut the water off. and give the space a break and refresh the crowds. Once school lets out.. it does get more crowded in both the park and the splash pad. I believe the splash pad (as well as the surrounding park) are ADA accessible which is fantastic. I'm happy to see that all friends, of all abiliites, are able to enjoy fun time in the sun! Lots of fun.. and wish we lived closer!

We're fortunate that Temecula has a robust parks & recreation program. We are also grateful to the coaches, who volunteer & dedicate their time to the youth soccer program. This park has held many other community events and is in a great location. Parking can be a bit tight so the game times are staggered. There are playgrounds and bridges as well as pickle ball courts. Overall it's a lovely park.

There is a huge grass field to the left of this picture and plenty of shaded tables to the right of the pictured area. There is a bathroom available but it is porta-potty style. The park is well kept and always clean. Due to the amount of mature trees in this park there is always plenty of shade no matter what time of day you are here. I can see this being great for parties but keep in mind it's street parking so it is limited on the amount of cars that'll fit. There are slides for all age groups as well as climbing areas for all difficulty levels. The disk swing in the center is a huge hit with all the kids and when more than a couple families are here there is always a line for it. One nice thing I have noticed, usually you can hear frogs chirping in the bushes. It's a really cool sound that makes you feel far outside the city and is really enjoyable:) Come check this park out for yourself, it'll quickly become a favorite!!

It's a sad day when you have to make plans to wash your car around the games. I've always had to think....Hmmmm, will I have to park at Pony Fields, after I wash my car???? If you do, don't bother cleaning it because it will come out dirty. There's probably about 100 spaces in the fenced in paved area with ONLY 3-4 handicap spots. Get here early if you don't want to drive your fancy car onto the dirt and pot-holed rocky filled, dirt lot. You can also take the chance of parking on the street but trying to unload Littles and baseball gear and crossing the busy street, WILL add to your stress and challenge. Pony fields sometimes charge a fee to enter. I don't know why. It's not a park worth coming into. What can I say? It's dirty, dusty and no shelter from wind or dust storms that seem to pick up every single night we are here. Trees are few and far between so bring your EZ Ups and be prepared to batten them down. It's windy here and will catch you off guard. I think the owners of this field need to invest some serious money and rebuild this park. The outhouses scattered about in the field are always so STINKY! When the wind picks up, trust me, you will need nose protection. It is unbearable. It probably isn't healthy to breathe this mess. Poor kids running around this field come home and need to be dunked in a tub. It's that dirty. True. It's a baseball field, but for those of us NOT playing baseball, spectators.... we shouldn't have to feel we went through a dust storm, at every visit. Do not park along the backside of the fields or you will get hit. So that takes away about 10-15 paved spots. On the plus side, the snack bar is reasonable. There are a few wooden picnic tables. Also, hilly patches of grass to sit on. Don't plan to lay a blanket down anywhere for the kids. It's pretty dirty. Dogs and pets are not allowed! Starbucks, McDonalds, Chic-Filet, Jack in the Box, Walmart, Target, and many others, are within 3-5 miles. In the 23 years I've lived in Murrieta, I will say this is the worst baseball park I have taken the kids to. It really needs to be improved. No stars would be my best rating.
