About

Basketball and baseball fields at a community-minded park featuring a skate park and an outdoor pool.

The adjacent Kearny Mesa Pool complex features two heated pools. The main recreational pool is maintained at 80-82° F (26.7-27.8° C), while a separate therapy pool is heated to a warmer 90-92° F (32.2-33.3° C). Both pools are heated year-round.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? This park offers a beautiful setting with a wide array of amenities including basketball courts, four baseball fields, a swimming pool, a recreation center, a dog park, tennis courts, and a skate park. It's suitable for various family activities, dog walking, pickleball, and community events. While some find it lovely and isolated with good playable tennis courts, there are significant concerns. Issues include a short walking path, crowded back parking, a front parking lot needing repair, and a main entrance street requiring fixing. More critically, the park is primarily recommended for daylight hours due to reports of 'scary' restrooms, trash, 'riffraff,' and serious safety incidents, including an inappropriate flashing incident that required police intervention. Overall cleanliness has also reportedly declined.

Beautiful sight. Great outdoor activities for family size at the park. I wish the walk path was longer. The park has basketball courts, four baseball fields, a swimming pool area, a rec center, and a dog park. A very nice community for young families to enjoy themselves. The parking lot gets packed in the back area. The front parking lot needs a lot of work, and the main entrance street needs to be fixed.

Good for daylight hours only. Restrooms are scary. One of my children’s sports teams practices there and we had someone inappropriately flashing them last year, had to call the police.

This place used to have lush green grass outside the Tennis courts and was in pretty clean condition.The Tennis courts are still in good playable.Condition with nice nets and there's a great skate park here, ball field, etc. The area certainly has a lot of riffraff and trash laying around everywhere and I don't know how safe it would be to stay here in the evening or at night. Be careful 🧐

A lovely isolated park with ball fields and open room for other activities. I attended an amateur radio (ham) event.
