We came upon Woodland Park today on our way to pick up dragon fruit cuttings in San Marcos, and I had to check it out. This City of San Marcos park is modest in size. It has a beautiful perimeter of trees and shrubs. Inside, there's open green space with a pond, covered picnic tables, and playground equipment. There's a swimming pool at the northern end, but I didn't explore that end of the park. Next time we come out this way, we'll have to enjoy a picnic here. Street parking only. read more

Great park! Has a great duck pond with water features ! There is a lot of grass area although it is quite hilly. Was very well maintained and had a nice children's playground in the back area . Parking lot and street parking was available . No trails so to say, but there was ample room for me to walk my dog " on-leash " . Will be coming back to visit this park again ! read more

Beautiful big, grassy park. The grass is green all year round, there is a playground as well as a big pond where ducks love to swim and lay their eggs. Please do not feed the ducks unless it is special duck food. Feeding them the wrong things can actually be bad for their digestive tracks and make algae growth in the water (because of their poop). The park always has people in it, no matter the time or day. It's right next to Woodland Park Middle School so often times there are young people around. Many people also walk their dogs here, but they must stay on a leash. There is no official, fenced in dog park here, sorry. This is a beautiful, relaxing place. If you bring your kid on the weekend though, watch them very closely. Tons of people, easy to lose a kid in seconds. The park is also directly on a main road, so fast moving cars nearby. read more

This is a good place to see butterflies! There is a habitat in the fenced area between the park and the middle school next door. There are mainly monarchs--nearly year round but mostly during spring and summer. There are several other butterfly species seen also in the spring and summer. This is registered monarch way station. Each year more and more butterflies are seen frequenting the habitat. And its free! Park near the Wooden house and see them flutter around. read more

There's something so peaceful about looking at ducks! We had a little picnic in the shade by the playground and then sat at the duck pond for a while. The playground itself was also really fun. My 3 year old loved the slides and swings. read more

The photos on Yelp made it look like a really huge park. There isn't much of a walking trail and the pool was closed. It was a nice place to bring your little ones or walk your dog but that isn't what I was looking for. Cenote Grill is around the corner! read more

Lovely park. The pond at this time of the year is full of ducks waiting to be fed. Please only feed them with duck food. There is a children's park and space to gave picnics or celebrate birthday parties. The swimming pool is still closed. Hope it will open sooner than later read more

I've been coming to this park on a regular basis now and I can say it's one of my favorites. There's always a good amount of kids here, most parents are actually watching their kids, and the kids are friendly! Baby swings, big kid swings, climbing structures for everyone...it's really nice. I'm glad they have shade over the playground now. The only downside is the closest bathroom is up the hill by the pools. It's not a long walk, just located further away than other parks. We'll be back! read more

Woodland Park - Ice cream truck...umm...ice cream van. ;) - Parks Near Me - San Marcos, California

This is a very nice community park close to our home in west Escondido. The four star review is simply because we can figure out why there seems to be a bluish green hue to the lake water here? Odd, and hopefully not harmful to the huge population of water fowl that congregate here. We see a lot of weekend use here, birthday parties, graduation parties, all sorts of fun activities. We came here on a mellow Thursday morning to spend some time training one of our labradors. Turned out to be a perfect spot for his training, as we were able to work uninterrupted with plenty of space away from other dogs. Lots of grass space here and a few nicely spaced benches. Great family park and dog friendly. read more

Been bringing my kids here for 15 years, put one kid through the middle school and now my second. I cant believe this park has stayed as nice and clean as the day I was pushing her on the swings! They have updated the structure once in the last decade, but its so clean. Maintenance is nice and there is a trail you can learn to ride your bike or skate on. PLENTY of grass and me and my kids personal fave the duck pond. I wonder how many generations of ducks I have fed over the years? BTW I feel safe enough in this park to be in it at night alone with my son. Kids still walking around with parents into the late summer hours. read more

Woodland Park - Duck pond with my son - Parks Near Me - San Marcos, California

We really enjoy this park! It's closest to our house and we love how much grass there is for our baby to crawl around. Lots of nice shady patches too! We love doing breakfast picnics here and letting our daughter explore. My only complaint is that I wish there were more than 1 baby swing! read more

This is a great little park. I take my dog here everyday. There's a charming duck pond with ducks, geese, turtles, and one stork. There's a community pool that is finally open. It has a pretty good sized playground with wood chips instead of sand. There are bags provided to pick up pet waste. There are covered picnic tables that can be reserved for parties. There are plenty of trees. read more

Love walking my dog around at this park. The last few times we were there we saw a ton of turtles in the pond. Very relaxing place to visit. read more

When i found out this park had turtles it was a must see. Lovely park but was concerned about the condition of the water in the pond. It was so dark and green that you could not see anything over the water line even in the shallow part. Walked to other end of pond and there was slime on the top of the water. It is very concerning to me that it is not kept up since there is wildlife that lives there. read more

Nice park. The ice cream trucks visit here more often than the local park I normally go to for a walk, so, that's always good. Plenty of benches and gazebos, a nice jungle gym, and there's a couple Pokemon Gyms and a PokeStop here if you're still into Pokemon Go read more

What a great neighborhood park. I have been going there since my daughter was a baby. Families meet on weekends there. Kids play sports. The summer offers pool activities and I love listening to concerts under the summer early evening sky. Just walking distance to my home, Woodland Park is one of the many wonderful San Marcos perks. read more

Been going to this park since I was born this park has changed full circle it used to have a lot of issues i.e. Fights drugs gangs and lack of maintenance now it is well maintained and renovated the tables and playground my kids will appreciate the facelift read more

Clean and not that busy of a park. Lots of parking and we had no issue finding an available table. The bathroom don't have seat covers and they are a little far from the playground. They are a little run down with a lot of the bathroom doors and stall walls are a little bent and wonky but they still close. Over all, a nice park. read more

My favorite park ! Love how it's big and has so many options to choose from ! Just wish the playground wasn't in the sun but other then that I would defiantly recommend throwing a party or visit the pond and see all the little ducks and turtles :) read more

Great park! Went here during our vacation with our 3 kids and they loved the playground. Lots of shade and grass too

I have been coming here since I was little and I'm so glad that I can take my daughter here as well! In my lifetime they have had 2 different remodels and both times were fabulous! The new playground now has tons of new kinds of equipment that I never saw when I was little! It's good to see a local park be so innovative, you can tell the city cares about it's people and their kids. read more

Pokeman hunting@@ !@!! I can't beloved I'm still out here need to headhome it's kinda scary out here. ..

Cool place, the pool is pretty sweet too, couple diving boards and a slide. Great for families or people that haven't quite grown up yet and like to ride the slide, such as myself. read more

This park is great! My daughter and I had a blast! I'm currently on maternity leave with our second child and my due date is in 8 days so I'm looking for things for my daughter and I to do out of the house and to keep my mind off being anxious for the new little one's arrival. Going to different parks has been fun and this one has been one of my favorites so far. The playgrounds are great and have many different activities. It is also a great place to just walk around with a nice path and is wonderfully landscaped. Of course there is the duck pond that is definitely worth mentioning! We brought some lettuce to feed them because my daughter was ecstatic when she heard there would be ducks. I don't think they were really feeling the lettuce so next time I think we will bring corn or bird food since I know bread and cereal are supposed to be bad for them or just not nutritionally supportive of their duck diets. To be honest, I googled what to feed ducks considering I've never been a big duck feeder until having kids. read more
