After having breakfast nearby, I walked down to Escaya Park to go for a walk. The park is…read moreinteresting because it has two levels. The top levels basically has a large grassy playing field. In fact, there was a flag football game going on when I visited. The park is very well kept and has a lot of good things to offer. It offers BBQ stations, drinking fountains, a shaded structure with tables, restrooms, hot coal disposal, modern playground equipment, and basketball courts. My favorite part about this park is the amount of green grass. Oh yes, the gazebo is available for rent.

It's a nice park just for a quick visit at the playground. But for parties, I can't recommend…read more There's some sort of an air pocket that makes it windy all day long. The gazebo is rented at $353+ and you will also be charged with a security deposit (refundable). The food gets cold very quickly. No candles or food warming element can stay lit as the wind keeps blowing them out. Table cloths are flying over the food, etc. All decorations are blown away. Terrible terrible experience. All of our efforts preparing were wasted. No electricity as it turned out it's a separate request in advance and additional fee. So what I suggest is before making a reservation, visit the park first and see for yourself. I wish we read the reviews first.

The space overlooks the water and is the first space you'll see driving up. It's a bit secluded from the rest of the park allowing you to have a more private event with your guests. We ended up having just 40 people attend our baby shower, but with the ample space, it allowed us to fully decorate the space and bring separate tables for desserts and welcome table. The stage space was perfect for the photo backdrop and everything came out so beautifully. Highly recommend this space for any events, even a small outdoor wedding. Check-in was super easy and we were allowed music, decors, and even alcohol on site. Some of us came an hour early to start the decorations and stayed an hour later to clean up, but you can access your space anytime between 9-5:30pm. Everything was perfect. Our event was only 4 hours so it was more than enough time to come early to set up and fully clean up after. Restrooms are super clean, park is well maintained with rangers on-site. Parking is $5 all day and plenty of our things for guests to do such as playground for the kids or the open grass area to run around in or nice hiking trails all around for a quick exploring.

The park has a lot to offer, including well maintained grass fields, well maintained restrooms, and a well maintained covered dining area. This was the first time I've been to a park that had a concrete hockey ring. The basketball courts were very good and so was the condition of the walking and jogging lanes around the park. The park offers a good parking lot and a nice view all the way down to the coast on a non foggy day. It's a good park to bring the family and exercise.

We do a nice stroll after dinner. It is so lovely at sunset! The other night we were there and saw the launch trail of the rocket in the sky. So pretty with the colors of the sunset and the white rocket trail. People may be a tad frightened of my big dog but I've met loads of people that see she is a love bug. You can't ask for a better backdrop than the strand to downtown and the awesome Coronado Bridge! Last week they had a lowrider gathering with some absolutely gorgeous cars and trucks and food! I loved the music and the DJ was great! Enjoyed the music from everyone's cars. Especially enjoyed the happy people. The boats and yachts are great to look at well. Good times. Come on down see ya out there and we can have a nice chit chat. Several picnic tables throughout, nice grassy area to put down a blanket and plenty of squirrels and birds to see too.

When I was a kid most Easter's & Birthday parties were here. One park has a pier to fish the other has a loading deck for boats. When I was a teenager I came here as well but not for family gatherings but to hang out with friends. And it's a good spot to bring girls late at night & you know....play BINGO in the back seat :) the first park has alot of parking spots for that. Now that I'm a dad & family man I come again for birthday parties & also just to hang with family to grill & see the low riders on weekends. My favorite reason to come tho is to see the Sunsets with my daughters, have a late picnic, listen to music & just watch the sun set, love it. Me & my family's favorite park in the South Bay hands down. Now with the Gaylord Resort next door the park looks better & is extended. We will continue to go & see those sunsets & one day I'll bring my grandkids here too. See you soon J Street Park.

It's also directly across from the Gaylord Hotel, which makes it super convenient. There's usually an ice cream truck parked nearby, which sounds great... until you get the bill. I paid $10 for two ice cream sandwiches--like, damn, a whole box costs less than that! So maybe pack your own treats if you're coming with kids. That said, it's a cute little park and a great place for the kids to burn off some energy. Definitely worth a visit!

The parking is limited but expanded as there are gates all around where you are notnsupoose to park, but people still do. The pier is where a lot of locals come to fish, and I've seen sharks, stingrays, and other fishes caught. Good place for kids to come. They've added tsunami signage. Can't wait to see what this will become and also sad that it will probably draw a bigger crowd and not be a local place for us to spend the weekends.

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. If drinking please use the red cup don't be an ass & get caught & mess it up for the rest of us, don't be that guy. And don't liter, clean up after yourself. Overall good park with good, clean vibes :)
