There is a parking fee, with an annual rate reviewers say pays for itself quickly. Trails run past a lake and pond with little bridges, and there are playgrounds, courts and a campground. Watch for horse and duck droppings, and mud on the grass hills after rain. Rattlesnake signs are posted.
A 550-acre county park with a small lake, marsh boardwalks, two day-use areas with newer playgrounds, trails and a full campground — one of the best all-in-one North County park days. Bring binoculars, because the wetland is a serious birding spot, and expect mud at the lake edge after rain.

Many things to do here. Trails to explore. Many people ride their bikes. Motorized bikes not allowed. There’s an upper pond and a lower lake and a marsh, and a few bridges make the journey fun. There’s camping —-no tent camping —but trailer camping. Playgrounds are well kept and safe. Have to pay to park. Many trees are deliberately not trimmed in the name of conservation? Stay away during fire season.

I love coming to this park. It’s relatively quiet, peaceful, and big enough where it’s great to get a nice trail walk in without going too far! I paid for the yearly parking rate in January, which was $25. Soooo worth it. The daily rate is not worth it if you come multiple times! The rate is now doubled to $50 a year or $5 a day. Be sure to look out for duck and horse poop on the trails. The campground is also relatively quiet, and I’ve never had any issue or concern with the occupants that stay there when I’m walking around. My only wish is that they had better irrigation for the grass hills. It can be quite muddy during rainy season- even if several days go by of sunshine, there seems to always be mud on the nice green hills.
