Santa Clara Recreation Center has it all! Open space for workouts or leisure, basketball courts,…read moretennis courts, a playground, and picnic areas! My boyfriend and I come here to practice hitting softballs and take in the breathtaking view of the bay, especially at sunset! While we practice hitting and throwing/catching, we've seen people fly kites, do yoga, workout, and even walk around to take in the scenery. While I haven't been inside the rec center itself, it seems like there is even more than what I have experienced. From what I've read online, they also have free weights and fitness machines, as well as special events and classes!

This review is just for the baseball/softball/kickball field…read more I have only been here on Thursday evenings for kickball through Vavi, the social co-ed sports portal. Being an outfielder in kickball, I notice that the lighting definitely doesn't go much further than the infield. However, if I'm good enough, staring straight at the lights and infield is all I need, as the ball shouldn't pass me. The only restroom access we have is that port-o-potty just past 3rd base into left field. Hope you have strong legs to hover over that mess. Parking: There seems to be vacant spots on the street. If not, then it's worth looped around the block or nearby for them.

City Parks. We haz them. Terrific ones too. South Clairemont Recreation Center and Community…read morePark is a wonderful neighborhood gem to enjoy the great San Diego weather and maybe some exercise too. We stopped here on a Sunday, and the rec center was closed, but when I cruise by this area, I usually see people using the gazebo and charcoal bbq grills for parties and picnics. This location is where they hold the annual Clairemont Family Day http://clairemontfamilyday.com/index.htm. Upon closer inspection, this large rec center & park space also includes: - A softball field - A full-size basketball court - A tennis court - A playground Per the website, there are meeting rooms, a kitchen, and a kiln room inside the rec center http://www.sandiego.gov/park-and-recreation/centers/sclairemont.shtml. Nearby is the Clairemont Pool http://www.sandiego.gov/park-and-recreation/aquatics/clairemont.shtml and a Skate Park http://www.socalskateparks.com/park/Clairemont. With so many activities available nearby, there's no reason for kids of all ages to complain about having nothing to do. Just go outside and play!

Well coming to this Neighborhood Park in Clairemont it is not to bad !!! It has lots of green area…read moreof grass and there is an small area for kids to play such as slides and swings plus bars for kids to hang on !! As you walk around there are Sidewalks and dirt plus some areas for you to sit also . But there are grills for you to BBQ also . I noticed there are quite a few gophers here at this park as you can see patches of dirt where they cover up there holes . But the parking is kind of small here and you might have to park on the side street . But here at this park there are Tennis Courts and a Basketball court also which is not so bad but it is painted in blue and gray . I shall say this park is for everyone and good for jogging and a walk . Also lots of kids come here to play on the playground. I suggest you take a look and see for yourself !! Overall it's an decent park and I can see myself coming back here to relax !!

I am writing about this recreation center specifically as the trailhead to the north end of the…read moreTecolote Canyon hiking trail. The route begins by the tennis courts and immediately descends a couple of hundred feet into a narrow canyon. From there, the journey is flat and winds southward parallel to a dried up creek bed. There is plenty of shade as you are strolling beneath foliage most of the time. After a little over 1.5 miles one way, the path intersects with Balboa Ave. You can walk roadside for several hundred yards next to the speeding traffic before traversing a crosswalk to continue towards Linda Vista and the south end of the trek. That portion contains a series of very steep hills which I have tackled before with the aid of my trekking poles. On this occasion, I turned around and completed the 3.5 mile circuit by mostly retracing the way I had taken. A healthy number of mountain bikers were on the trail at the same time I was. The width was sufficient to allow them to pass me without difficulty. I know that during the summer, many more insects are active in this area so wear repellent if you come at a warmer time of the year.

Different level of trails here from easy family friendly to more challenging with incline . It's a great place to view nature with an easy nature stroll if you want to take it easy .

I did notice also a few picnic benches setting near the damn parking lot as well a water fountain is available . Porta potty's available there as well .

This review is only for the approximately 3 or 4 mile stretch running through Imperial Beach,…read morestarting at the end of 13th St., leading to Silver Strand State Beach and Coronado. I usually don't go towards the Chula Vista part and beyond because I mostly run by myself and it can get sketchy with trolls living under the bridge(I'm serious), there are isolated areas, and the path is not well lit at night. Used by bicyclists, runners, joggers, walkers, bladers, strollers, you name it, this path is very popular. When I lived by the bay and bikeway along 7th and 8th Street, we had the perfect view for Independence Day fireworks all along the bay from Coronado, to J St. Marina, to National City. This is one of my favorite scenic spots to run when I get tired of the gym. They have added dirt paths alongside the bikeway for dog walkers and explorers, and some benches along the way with more informational plaques about the area's history, and the many birds that flock here to the estuaries to seek refuge for the winter. Stop by Trident Coffee at 13th St. or visit Rad Bikes and test drive the e-bikes along the trail! You'll have a nice morning and afternoon here.

I have explored 95% of this trail and it is a tale of Jekyll and Hyde. The Coronado section to…read moreImperial Beach checks so many boxes. The bay and ocean views with sand dunes. There are accessible nature preserves and Coronado has spots to rest and dine. Well utilized section with people exercising. On the other hand the northern section is quite the opposite. Not a dedicated trail and majority of it runs through industrial sections in Chula Vista. Garbage is strewn all over near the freeway. Be careful not to take the wrong fork to Sweetwater Trail, which is very isolated with some homeless camps. I can skip this section entirely, but a short detour through Bayside Park and J. Marina is recommended, where you easily reconnect with the trail by the Freeway entrance.

I enjoy the walk around and its great that they have signs of the history of the patter Cornelio Rodriguez. Its shows great history of how this place was designed and the ideas he had. I for one just enjoy taking a nice walk from my house into a park and this one is right next to where I live. Its a nice smaller cozy park but if you have time then swing by to check out the place and read up on the history of the park. You will see a lot of eucalyptus trees there at the park. They have a really nice board with the history of the park and tells you the story of Cornelio Rodriguez. They have have parking here but its off road parking. But if you have a free day to hike and browse around i definitely think you should check out this place. Nature, clean air, historic place, sunny spring weather, makes a nice day out! Definitely check it out!
