I take my dog to the dog park and the big dog area has gone downhill with dogs digging and maintenance not filling or posting signage. I also have been using the new Pickleball courts and even got a membership so I can reserve courts. The City is making improvements hope they can fix the dog parks.

I bring my jack Russell here all the time. It’s a great dog park. It’s split between little dogs and big dogs. There’s three water fountains for dogs to be able to drink Wow rest rooms Yeah, he sounds like for you when you leave and everything is enclosed and enclosed inside the second fence, so the dogs can’t run away. Great open area for family friends, and your dog to get out and run rules are posted inside and outside for dog owners. Make sure and bring bags to pick uo your poop.

City of El Cajon latest and greatest public pickleball venue. Individually fenced courts. 4 open play, 1 challenge/reserve able court. Lights come on gradually before you notice its even dark. Super clean, new and nice. They have lots of parking and bathrooms. I posted the rules and hours in photos. No court monitor so good luck with the frey. If you want to reserve courts join the Parks and Rec Pro pickleball membership for a low price for a year membership. Then you can log into their reservation system and reserve courts upto 7 days in advance. You can reserve 1 court a day. It is very popular so be sure to get on there at Midnight 7 days in advance and best of luck because it is practically impossible now to reserve regular court hours. The same people have reservations everyday.

I like the addition of the Pickleball court, the fitness area and the dogpark. Went back this morning on my walk to use the fitness area but it was disappointing to see that apparently many people are camping out there overnight. I saw a city truck driving thru with a megaphone telling the campers to leave and the city folks picked up the trash. I can appreciate the city maintaing the park for us residents but why uf the park closes at 9:30 at night are there so many campers? How are they permitted to camp in the park past 9:30? I think that's why still there aren't more kids in the park during yhe day, I would be scared of needles to let a child play in the grassy area or walk my dog. Yes the city is trying and has made many improvements, the pickle ball court is great, would be also great to see concrete ping pong and Fussballtables and less homeless campers/drug activity. Yes drug activity, I saw that when walking past the building next to the dog park. 🫣

This place is HOT in the summer. It's a big park. I've been there a handful of times for adult league basketball games. The park is spacious. It looks safe except for the group of individuals that hang out near the parking lot. They just sit around, not sure if they're drinking, too. They don't bother no one, either. They have bathrooms near the baseballs field which is nice.
