This park just opened in Del Sur and the kids love it! The skate park, the basketball court, tennis…read morecourt, and play area are easily accessible. There's a huge field with a backstop for those baseball players out there. Also great for tossing a football, frisbee, soccer, playing catch, etc. On one end is a covered picnic area too. PROS: huge space, tennis, basketball, skate park and field for soccer, playing catch, baseball, frisbee, etc. CONS: not much shade--bring sunscreen BOTTOM LINE: great place to take the family!

There's…read morea full-sized basketball court, tennis court, children's play area, picnic tables, a large covered gazebo, a large green space for various activities and sports, and a sizeable skatepark.

I was looking for a new board since I'm transitioning from a longboard to shortboard but don't…read morewanna jump all the way to a 5ft shortboard ya know? So for the past year basically, I've been researching and demo-ing boards cause I like to try before I buy. This past weekend I actually got to try some Torq boards and fell in love with the 7'2 modfish. I even saw someone out in the lineup with a beautiful blue version of it so I pulled the trigger. I had no idea how popular Torq surfboards were because I was calling shop after shop and the answer was the same "Sorry we're all sold out but the next batch coming in is XX date". I feel extremely lucky to happen upon this shop because what were the chances they'd have the exact BRAND, MODEL, SIZE, and COLOR??? Plus it was like one of the last ones (if not, the last one) in stock at the store. The universe has answered my wishes. The staff was super friendly and easy to talk to as well!

My husband and I took our grandchildren to the pool today, and while we had a nice time overall,…read morethere are simply too many rules. I felt like I was being monitored the entire visit by overly controlling lifeguards. The office employee at the front was very nice, but once you get inside, the atmosphere becomes uncomfortable. At one point I was barked at to move because some kids needed to take a swim test. Later, my granddaughter was swimming, so I got in the pool with her because she had to wear a red wristband due to her age--even though she swims perfectly well. I was standing on the pool steps in the water, but the lifeguard insisted I had to be fully "in the pool water." I don't understand why it matters whether I'm standing or sitting on the step, especially since I had been sitting there earlier with no issue. I used to bring my own children to this pool years ago, and people seemed much happier then. You were expected to swim back and forth, not take a formal swim test like you're training for the Olympics. Please do better, Poway. I pay taxes for this pool, and it feels like the people who get the most benefit from it are the lap swimmers and swim classes.

The "swim test" is famously vague for a reason. In the sighn it says crawl. They test a modified…read morefreestyle. The test is confusing and it's not clear what stroke they are to perform. This is a tax payer funded pool. The fact that they make it difficult to just go and enjoy it is really pitiful.

We were in town for mother's day. I wanted a place for my dogs to run around. I saw this place was…read moreclose to where we were staying. This place is big. Three separate fenced off areas. It looks like they turned a baseball field into a Hugh dog park. I like that they were able to repurpose the old field. There's a new baseball diamond near by. They all have grass,not weeds. I saw that they all had water and poopie bags. The community did a great job with this dog park

SPACIOUS AND GRASSY (5 stats)…read more It's so hard to find a good dog park in San Diego that has ample space, separation of big and small dog park, and grassy. It's in the heart of Poway at their civic center that has everything for the community. Lots of community and family public usages for their community-residence and very clean. We had a Pomeranian meetup here and imagine a ton of tiny Poms roaming safely and freely in a very spacious dog for smaller dogs. Occasionally some people brought their small to medium dog that had big dog energy in the area but all owners were respectful and watched their dog's actions. I didn't see a singly poop in the park and it was one of the cleanest dog parks I've been to. Too bad it's a far drive or we would be regulars. This was the first time I seen my new Pomeranian open up and play. She didn't want to leave and kept playing and playing after over an hour being there. I do wish there were some signs. The civic center area is big and we had walked around just to find the dog park section is in the back behind the baseball fields. Eve though it was a little distance walk, we felt very safe during the day. I'd be cautious towards the early morning or evenings as this is east/inland and I can foresee coyotes being near

With our luck, we were the only big party there! There were a few families but not crowded at all. There are several sitting areas that are covered which are a free for all and a large covered table which I believe you need to make a reservation with the city. (I did email the city but no response.) There are 2 playground areas. One of which is a toddler area and the other structure is for bigger kids. The park is clean, spacious, and has bathrooms. The parking is a tiny lot but there is ample street parking since it's tucked in a neighborhood. Daytime is safe. Don't know what happens here at night though!
