A nice spot to stretch your legs, walk your dog , or answer nature calls. There a couple picnic tables and park benches available and at the westbound location a gazebo that I'm guessing once held a picnic table. If you're road weary and needing a nap if you're a light sleeper you should bring earplugs or consider another location, as the I 8 provided a lot of road noise. Over all I do reccomend this Roadside rest. Both East and West Bound are good. I've had sleep over stops at both locations while on different road trips I've taken. I've never encountered any problems at either location.

Luckily, if you get here around 5am or so, you can get a decent area with trees and shade. This particular holiday, some people had set up as early as the day before! We came here for a birthday party and the shade provided by the trees and tents made the warm day easy to manage! Although I love the sun and heat, humidity is a different beast - luckily it was a calm breeze that swept through the day before the heat wave arrives. There is 2 bathrooms, sadly one was closed and the other seemed to have plumbing issues, because as soon as you walk in... you walk in to a pile of water (me hoping it was just water). There is a playground and plenty of parking around the Park. This park is not fenced off, so a lot of the areas are next to the streets. I guess this is the place to go for party's as it is big and holds bigger groups. Don't forget to bring some bread to feed the ducks, pigeons and geese that roam the ponds! No swimming, and honestly you wouldn't want to either.

I just came here to fuel up. It is kinda an odd set up. Like the few pumps are super duper spaced…read morebut the lanes to enter and exit aren't spaced at all. Everyone was driving on footpaths. The rules of society have no weight in this arena. It's like a real life Hotel California, you can stay here but you can't ever leave. If you want to get on the freeway you have only one choice of two exits. The correct one means you will be met with traffic and people having to full on invite you in. Like you're a damn vampire tapping on a window. Which is what happened to me. After filling my car with the dinosaur remnants it requires (filthy beast that it is) I rolled up to pull a right and then a left for the freeway. Trouble is... it's an onslaught of cars during lunch. To the left I peeped a sushi place that was intriguing.. (sorta a park and sushi kinda deal, but not my El Centro dream) Anyway, while perched to make a right with lanes so filled up, your bound to get a nice person who INSISTS that you go forward. ... sadly, the lane isn't the one you want. So you have to go forward and then pull a U. Anyways, thank you guy for being so fervently accommodating. You know not what you've done. Your kindness was appreciated. Still.. I'd recommend you go here for the full on weirdness, and the 100% authentic convenient inconvenience type vibe this spot embodies...
