This desert county park has a Julian mailing address but is about an hour east of town in Anza-Borrego, off County Road S2. It has a shallow children's pool and an outdoor pool fed by natural springs, while the indoor heated pool is limited to ages 14 and up. It's closed in summer, and dogs aren't allowed on trails or pool decks.
