    Have a great time sitting on the grass reading my book. It is very large park, there's a pool and a place to play baseball. Love it.

    Such a good time!!…read more ​This is a newly renovated park that is perfect for families! The pirate-themed play structures are super cool, and the kids absolutely enjoyed running and climbing. There are plenty of activities to choose from, including a splash pad, sand play, a huge grassy area for running or flying kites, kayaking, and fishing. There is also plenty of shade for both kids and adults at the picnic tables, but there's also enough room to bring your own pop-up tent if you want. I did see porta-potties on-site. I am hoping they are just there temporarily for a restroom renovation, but no one in our group needed to use them, so I didn't get close enough to see if there were any signs posted. ​ The parking lot has plenty of space for a normal day at the park. I imagine if there is a big event or multiple birthday parties going on it could get full, but it was fine for us. ​The park was incredibly clean, and my kids had a blast playing with the other children. No bullies or mean kid vibes at all, so shoutout to the parents! We will definitely be back and will come even more prepared with props to play next time.

    This is an awesome playground. There is a ton to do and the pirate ship theme is so fun. There is a…read moregreat splash pad too that all the kids seem to love. There is a sand pit area close to the water that is really fun and yet another thing to do here. There is a huge free parking lot, restrooms, and lots of seating available through tables to a big grassy area. My only complaint is there is a ton of trash. There are small bits of trash everywhere on the grass, almost like confetti. We saw everything from popped balloons to beer cans to candy wrappers to baby wipes. It was pretty gross. The trash is even on the playground.

    3.5/5 As of this review…read more Not perfect-but still a whole vibe. Some parks charge you to play-like Balboa Park. Others feel like they're always under repair-like El Toyon Park. This one? Somewhere in the middle. Came through around 8 PM while waiting on a friend at Paradise Valley Hospital. Just needed a quick walk. There's fencing, signs of construction, and honestly... families still using the playground anyway. That tells you everything. If people are working around closures, access isn't being handled right. But here's what matters: *People are actually using the park. *Families on the playground (fence or not). *Couples walking hand in hand. *People eating dinner solo, just enjoying the night. *Friends posted up talking. *Dog walkers getting their steps in. *And a full volleyball game going-with a group that brought their own net and made it happen. That's when it clicked-this park works because the community makes it work. And there's a lot to work with: *Big, open space (perfect for events, parties, just spreading out) *Clean, paved walking paths that feel good even at night *Updated courts (just bring your own net for now) *Bright playground with slides and wood chips for safety *Plenty of picnic benches (not much shade, but still usable) *Bike racks and scattered seating throughout Spring nights, fresh air, people outside connecting-that's what a park is supposed to be. And even with the construction and limitations, this place is still delivering that. Bottom line: Construction is to be completed by May 2026 "Parks are where people build memories." [Don't delay the re-grand opening ]

    This park is not what it used to be..... very disappointing. They took down the playground because…read morethey were going to put a "new one". I wonder when is that going to happen?! I have seem more homeless leaving trash around. People with their unleashed dogs, dog poop in the grass. The "playground" in the field side is unusable they have let this park go. They only left the baby slide and swings. The bathrooms are always locked and the bathrooms at the field side are so disgusting, graffiti everywhere. It has become more of a hang out point for homeless. I really hope they fix this park!

    This a pretty cool spot and not well known around San Diego. It is dedicated to California Native…read morePlants and Trees, and there is also a section dedicated to the native tribes of the area. The garden offers nice paths that meander through the park and one that goes around the perimeter as well. There is a dedicated dog park area that is fenced off, benches scattered about, and several information billboards around specific areas. Many of the plant and tree species have identifiers at their bases. There are areas meant to attract butterflies, a pollinator garden, and a Kumeyaay Ethnobotany Garden with great information regarding ancient people that lived in the area. To my surprise, there's also an adjacent skate park. Parking is available.

    This is my review # 4000 and what an honor to review a hidden gem in Paradise Hills! the Paradise…read moreHills native gardens caught me by surprise last week when I was in the area. I searched on Yelp for interesting things to do around and found this. I am into gardens, trees, plants, flowers. I love nature and value enormously the effort that many volunteers have put to create this from a landfill. It is amazing. I did a long hour meditation walk around the park, checking every label to learn about the local flora. Learned also about 4 varieties of trees you can only find in San Diego county. I encounter a group of volunteers discussing the next planting they will be working on, chat with them and kept enjoying my own company in a meditative state. It is a great place to relax, very recommended a visit for nature lovers and people who like to get off the beaten path too. There are so many different corners and angles in San Diego and this neighborhood is an interesting discovery

    We decided to visit this location to get a nice low impact walk as a workout. The weather forecast…read moresaid that rain was expected so it was a quick 30-35min walk that we planned. When we approached the location, there was a co-Ed little league team ending their evening practice. There were about 5-7 cars of families packing up from the field and departing the lot. The parking lot can hold about 35-40 parked cars, with 2-3 handicap parking spots as well. The field is used by many weekend adult soccer players so Saturday and Sunday is normally jammed packed starting at 7am and ending about 6p. There are cars that line the streets in the neighborhood during this time. This recreational center is a very popular spot for little league games, adult soccer on weekends, the Neighborhood Festivals, birthday parties, recreation center clubs, and school break camps. The indoor space is rented to martial arts classes, birthday parties, baby showers, sports banquets, and other private events. The indoor space can hold about 40-50 people when they setup events. There is a half basketball court on the side of this recreational center but it is not marked up as a half court. It just has plain cement as a court, balls can be checked out from the staff when they are open. For Easter and other holidays they sometimes have special events that the City of SD Parks & Recreation Dept hosts, with our tax dollars, and they are great for the kids in the area. I especially like to see the "Teen Nights" as they offer at risk youth an opportunity to participate in meaningful and positive events. There is also free WiFi here. Overall, great location to take a walk on the field and nice place for little ones to play in the smaller playground.

    You can never go wrong when you enjoy a brisk walk on a winter SUNday morning in your neighborhood…read more Tons of parking available off of Dusk Dr and a small parking lot adjacent to the baseball diamond. Remember, this isn't a park with a huge play area (jungle gym, multiple slides, tons of swing sets, etc)- it's an athletic field. Sundays are predominately for soccer leagues accommodating different age groups. That grassy field is huge & towered by mature eucalyptus trees. The baseball diamond has a set of weathered bleachers that look like splinters are happy to poke your butt when you sit down on them. There are men/ women restrooms available. I have a longtime friend who is an official AKBC (American Kennel Bulldog Club) Judge & she has used Penn Athletic Field twice a year to host shows. The community of Paradise Hills launched it's first community gathering here in December '17- Paradise Hills Night Market- which showcased many residents/ alumni w/in the neighborhood to showcase their goods (art, food, music, etc.). Please refer to my photos to see how you can obtain field permits.
