Puppies "Brothers 8 Months old." They had a great time playing up and down the snow hills. Walk a 100 yards on the trail, and you will see a little cove for the dogs and kids to play, sled in deep untouched snow. A hidden gem. Safe where we went, no traffic, away from the busy highway. We so enjoyed the puppies first time experiencing the snow with our puppies. TIP: STOP. Weekends: You need a day parking pass $5.00 Where do you buy one.

They recently added one of those cool library vending machines, and I love that touch--it makes the park feel even more welcoming and community-focused. The playground is great, the baseball fields are well-kept, and it's the perfect place to walk, relax, or hang out with family. It's definitely my favorite park in the area. If I had one suggestion, it would be to add a trash can and hand dryers inside the restroom. Other than that, I just hope people continue to take care of it--it's such a beautiful space and it deserves to stay that way!

Wow this park is amazing, it was very windy and foggy but the kids didn't mind. We brought blankets so through them over us lol and walked over. They have swings when you first walk up, but if you walk a bit further they have the playground. They also have a tennis or bad mitten court and basketball courts too. The playground is so nice and clean and they have a cool zip line for the kids to play on, they loved that so much and had a blast going on it lol. It even has a cute little gazebo such a beautiful park. The girls had a blast we would love to come here again. If you have never been to MacKay Park you should if you have little ones it's really beautiful here. Even if you don't it's peaceful and in the mountains and so lovely.

Upon arriving, parking lot is not as big as you would expect, we squeezed in besides the trash cans to park, however it was really clean, and everyone's vibe is nothing but smiles and nods. They do have bathrooms, on the right hand side near the parking lot are swings, to the left and middle part closer to the parking lot has two pickleball courts, and if you walk past the swings the walkway leads to a view and a children's playground. My fiancée and I came for the dog park, which was literally a walk to the left past the actual parking lot. Spacious with a few trees and limited spots for shade. But enough room for your furry friends to stretch their legs!

It's a HUGE grassy area filled with local residents. I also noticed many joggers with their dogs. I also appreciated the installed lights. The location is also very clean. What utilities? This parked is unique because the playground is exemplary. The slides are HUGE! These are very tall slides; they're about five adults tall. The swings are safe for toddlers because they're shaped like carseats. And I noticed a miniature rock climbing wall for kids There's public park exercise machines spread throughout, and this location also has multiple water-fountains; they're installed with fountains for the dogs too. There's also several pet waste bag dispensers and trash cans. In addition, there's several public tables with shade spread throughout. There's also public restrooms, a HUGE grassy field, and cement walking paths. I also appreciated the bike rack areas. What are the negatives? It's a plain-looking park with almost no shade. There's barely any tall trees. It also has zero extra features (ex: no tennis courts, no baseball field, no basketball courts). This park is very bare minimum. Overall, I had an adequate experience. If planning to exercise here, I'd wait until the evening, or the sun will just burn your face. Still, it's a big, grassy area. If searching for a big, grassy spot, this is your place. 4.4 out of 5

The group sites are for 40 people but realistically can fit about 20 people comfortably. There is a BBQ, Fire pit, huge long tables and flush toilets. There are a couple of short hikes from the site that offer great views, but nothing too hard core, so if you're looking to hike through, this probably would not be the place for you. The host is a nice old man who is good about enforcing quiet hours, but is lenient at the same time. Quiet doesn't mean complete quiet :) This place is good for one or two nights, but anything more would be a stretch.

Located on the western side of Big Bear Lake, this park is a popular destination for both locals and visitors, particularly those looking to enjoy a peaceful and leisurely walk with their pets, a picnic, or just some quiet time by the water. There is a free parking lot adjacent to the park, but it can fill up quickly, especially on weekends and holidays. If the lot is full, there is additional street parking available nearby. The park is open year-round, but the best times to visit are during the spring, summer, and fall when the weather is mild, and the lake is at its most beautiful.

PROS: I love the park. Looks like it was built by boyscouts a long time ago. The Mojave river…read moreruns right past it along with dual traintracks and an excellent view of Quarzsite mountain. I've seen all sorts of wildlife here, from ducks, big fish, little fish, crawfish, beavers, hawks, pelicans, huge amounts of crows, Big Owls, and theres squirrels that live at the flagpole. The rocks in the park are known to hide secret treasures from tweakers, i found all sorts of snap on bits, an expensive folding knife and a book on Spiritual Warfare. I love to take my rc trucks as a trail companion, not much action for crawlers. Sometimes I hike the powerline road that leads to the park and washes from Brentwood area. 4x4's are known to drive up the River. There's two large patches of grass and the water company constantly tests the waters so there's daily early visits from specialists. They say it's reservations only but the area has a small amount of parking for many cars. I've never seen law enforcement there. We like to go here primarly cuz not many people are there and it makes my family feel safer. The city mops the place up of grafitti. CONS: This park is now a serious hotspot for human traffickers, people breaking into trains that live in the granite rock quarry directly above the park. Unseen in the park, are shantys, rv's, the rock quarry now a giant trash pit. I was looking for the devil faces in the rocks and found a ghost town of creepy vibes. Go figure. Feb 28th I was almost sacraficed in a vampire coven in apple valley. I walked out of a trap that day only to find that camp on the other side of the mojave river. I barely made it to rockview that day and got picked up. I've gone to this park many many times. I doubt i'll go here anymore without a ccw. I will fear no evil type ahhhh either way. All the wildlife is vanishing, everything is fair game for food thanks to the village of people living near the river. Literally everything has vanished. starting with ducks, then fish, then beavers, then squirrels!!!! It wouldn't surprise me if they are eating crow. Life must be tough. BEWARE: of black magic human traffickers here. What am I talking about? Traps. People that are too friendly, a girl flirting too much, or a guy wanting to see you again to go to other spots or they ask to take pictures of your children. Be careful people, there's an evil cult that has taken over everywhere in the HD, I'm talking full on the worst things you could think of as a business. Extortion, framing, giving stds and claiming u graped, every type of human trafficking problem, selling body parts up to adrenochrome. These people use GHB laced foods/drinks, and other evil drugs to seduce you into whats known as a honey trap. I love you all, discern peoples motives, do they seem dark or like they've done this before. These families are full of smiles, but you can see the anticipation of fear in thier actions. They study your reactions, and mirror you. If you use drugs, they'll lace yours. These are interesting times we live in, God Bless you all, Godspeed. (I'm a good looking guy that open carrys a chrome plated pair of large scissors. I was almost shot in Brentwood park point black by a 357 while holding my 4 year old son. I took my kids to rockview to reconnect them to nature. I'm deeply concerned with the HD falling into evil hands. My favorite things to do in this city now are going to court and watching people in tough situations and praying for them, and praying in an open area of the desert with a 360 view while i watch the sunset.)
