Reviewers rate this among the better parks in the area: free parking, a good playground near the restrooms, a lot of open grass, BBQs and an amphitheater. Paths suit strollers and much of the park has real shade. Restrooms are well kept. The dog park is sand and sticks rather than grass.
At 53 acres this is the biggest park in La Mesa — playground, wide lawns, a jogging path, shaded picnic tables with barbecues, and a dog park split into three sections by dog size. The amphitheater hosts the free summer concerts, so arrive well ahead of start time on those evenings.

Very nice park for a day with the kids. Nice playground, penty of open, grassed areas to play in. It also has a nice dog park. Bathrooms are well kept.

Wonderful way to spend a Spring Morning. Harry Griffen Park was the perfect venue for the Harmonica Festival. Not a bad view of the musicians from anywhere in the park. Only observation that might help... bring an umbrella as there is a lot of sun.
