There is sand and astroturf for the dogs to run on.

This park is mesmerizing. PARKING: TONS and I repeat TONS! Best part: FREEEEEEEE muahahah SIZE: WOW when is Yelp going to let us add emojis so I can show you with heart eyes that the size of this park is INSANE! It doesn't get better than this. It just goes and goes and goes and goes. Way back! CLEANLINESS: I actually stepped on a doggy boo boo lmao!!! My vans are ruined right now tbh!!! Sheesh... i don't wanna judge the park by that tho because that was simply a mistake on the dog owners behalf *ahem* DOG POPULATION: They have a SMALL doggo area and a BIG doggo area - we love a good park that caters to all shapes colors flavors and sizes!! Yasss no discrimination here. The dogs here do follow the rules so they are separated- (little Italy - no dogs follow that rule they all play in one big area despite there being signs for separation) but that is for the safety of your dogs. SEATING: there is only one bench on each side that will solely fit 3 people total (ya better know those people in this pandemic - no stranger could sit next to you) they are in the direct sunshine SHADE: not much shade - there is a big tree towards the back however you would have to stand if you wanna stray away from the vitamin D The good news....people do bring their own park chairs / lawn chairs with the detachable umbrella - I've seen that and personally I think that's genius!

They have a small dog side and big dog side, but if you bring your big dog/puppy to the small dogs side, most people are usually okay with that as long as it's not too aggressive in its play. Both sides have pretty big areas so they have room to run, run, run. And bring that's it's a public park as well, it's all natural, with grass, dirt, and even gophers. Not much in shade; there's a couple of trees on each side. A couple of tables and benches, too, but that's it. Water stations on each side are good. Both sides have little dog obstacles/ramps for them to exercise on. Overall, it's a really good dog park, and the size is one of the biggest, if not the biggest dog park, in the county.

The park is well kept, good grass, clean & restrooms are clean which is great because most parks don't keep that clean. Park Rangers/staff to go around to make sure everything is cool which is good. Reserve the tent places if it's a big event for weekend uses because it can get busy.

Coming to this location for a family hike was a great decision. We have had a very trial ridden…read morepast three weeks and we needed some time to get away for a special hike. When you approach this area, you can easily be misdirected to the county regional park. To avoid this before you go up the hill to the entrance of the county regional park make a right into the driveway that shows the Sweetwater Reservoir. Once you get in there, you will go along a long dirt road to a parking lot that is eventually located next to the Reservoir fishing area. It is a beautiful trail and it's wonderful to be able to walk around the water and see ducks and birds and other wildlife as well as beautiful plants like Manzanita and chaparral. It is a wonderful trail hike, with beautiful and refreshing wind and sunshine. They have Porta potties that are super clean and well-maintained. I would say the porta potties are about a half a mile apart. They also have a bench with an overlook platform along the trail, and everything that we encountered seem to be very clean and well maintained. We will definitely visit this place again and it is definitely a wonderful place to hike. We were able to get out and started to explore the trail and after about 15 minutes, we realized that there was a Ranger honking at us with his siren coming around the bend. He made his way up to us in his truck and indicated that he would be closing the gate to the park in the next five minutes. We told him that we were told by the Park Ranger at the SD County Park check in booth that this trail closes at 8 PM tonight. He then said that we were not the only family to tell him that but that the Sweetwater Reservoir Trail Park actually closes at 5 PM because it's not a part of the SD County Regional Parks; they close at 8p. We rushed back to our vehicle, which was about a mile and a half away and we were able to get in and leave. We were very lucky that this Park Ranger decided to wait for us because we would've been locked into four or five gates and not able to actually get out of the park, even to get an Uber. This was great to understand and know so that when we go next time, we'll go a lot earlier before 5 PM.

I was worried about the heat, but the indoor area was very well air conditioned. The outdoor ceremony by the lake was also surprisingly pleasant and made for a gorgeous backdrop.

I was pleasantly surprised to see such a welcome update to the south-facing green area of the park. The city of course had to uproot about a dozen big trees for this project but better that, than remain a homeless haven. Next to the courts, the city also built a pro-shop where paid members can hangout, buy refreshments and use the clean restrooms. Members also have the benefit of reserving a court. The wall separating the courts from the apartment complex is made with sound-absorbing material, the benches are shaded and there are properly designated paddle racks for each of the five courts. I was the second pickleball player to arrive for the Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting of the newly built pickleball courts. It was cool to see the usual suspects - friends I play with at Bostonia Rec Center and Lakeside courts, as well as new faces. This being the second El Cajon public pickleball court, me and my friends already started planning the days we will play here. This will most likely become another popular venue and one that will be maintained since local city leaders and council members are avid pickleball players themselves.
