This is a really nice, clean park. Paths are relatively level so you dont have to worry about rolling your ankle or tripping. Great place to walk your dog and just wonder for a bit without getting bit by rattlesnakes. Its not really a place to get a good hike. Super easy trails and from the parking lot to completing the loop trail is about a mile.

Nice view! Kids friendly for picnic and fun! The unpaved trail is a bit unorganized. At some locations it gets a little too steep and can be dangerous. Barely any signs to guide the trail. Go with a friend for safety. Also trail surface is mostly dust, which I assume can be slippery after rain if it ever rains here.

Great place to do a hike. Lots of hills to get the blood flowing. It doesnt have a straight path but a bunch of intertwining paths. So you can get from point a to b a number of different ways. Trials are not clearly marked but you can definitely find your way. There are a bunch of picnic tables to sit in have a meal . No chairs or benches along the trail to take a break. These trails can be as easy as hard as you want them to be.

Loved the hike and the little rope swings put up high in the trees. Excellent beginner hike for my 2 little boys. They didnt want to leave.

Awesome hike to do with the kids. Even my mom was able to do it

Great place to go if you want to just do a little meditation read the word get your thoughts together still a little writing journal Maybe pray meditate very quiet location

A great local walking park, good for all ages and levels of hiking, multiple trails and nice ambience

Playground needs some serious attention and upgrading, come on Carlsbad. Paths are nice though and light is fabulous at sunset.

Okay. Small park with trails between streets and houses. Good for locals to walk.

Had a fantastic time here eating my medium sized pan pizza from dominos with my spouse! No water fountains however!

Its a great o o en area, although its not equit for a dog park. Open wilderness

It is a quiet, and safe little peace of Carlsbads Wildlife preserve in the northernmost areas of the city. Nice, small childfriendly with a sandbox playground and BBQs for recreation, and a series of trails alongside the hillsides and box canyons that surround our residences and stores; the park is a pleasant sight to anyone of like mind.

Fantastic local park with varied hiking trails. Dog walkers abound. Watch out for bikes!Warning-bathrooms are very limited.

Best way to keep up with your steps

Great place to run hike a little bit and walk or run with your doggo!

This is such an amazing gem nested in our city! My boys LOVE coming here for adventures. Its a perfect blend of nature with civilization! If you have little ones, there is a traditional playground with safety padding on the ground. For the older ones, there are multiple tree swings hidden through the park, a tree see-saw, logs big enough to balance on trails for hiking and biking. Note: The trails are rugged so no strollers or wheelchair access. Picnic tables and benches are available as well as the cleanest portable bathroom Ive ever seen! Its definitely a place to visit!

This park has a small play area surrounded by trees and has a great hiking trail. It has plenty shade. The two down sides to this park is the restroom, and parking. The bathroom is a unisex porter potty and the parking is limited

Very beautiful park with some trails that lead you around beautiful scenery! Good to unwind and relax. Park has picnic tables playground for kids. Theres also a bathroom which sometimes is filled with ants. Parking can sometimes be a pain but other than that highly recommend!

The playground has a port a potty and there are plenty of nice areas to take pictures. The hills can be a bit steep to climb, so it you have little ones, expect them to fall and get messy because its sand-like and not just dirt. We had a fun time exploring!

Wish they had a better playground for kids. But so gorgeous.

Good place for walk.

Nice walk but quite confusing since there are no trail marks along each trail.

Love this place great place to work out and not feeling it!

Nice little get away

Park area is pretty clean and the trails are well kept but the portable toilet on site is of course disgusting really the only thing thats bad about the park

Great park to take your dog out plus view to the local lake clean bathroom

Beautiful park in the middle of lots of developed space. Pleasant trails for hiking. The end of the park by the mall has a playground. Its nice for a quick and nearby check-in with nature. There are a few spots where you can forget youre so close to so many people and so much concrete.

Environment was good. View was nice.

Excellent walking trails, excellent location, has a kids park.

I grew up in Carlsbad when the beautiful Eucalyptus trees were much more plentiful. But, new construction has made its mark. Please leave the remaining trees alone. I love the trails and the occasional Red Tailed Hawks that can been seen and heard in the treetops. Go Lancers!

A magnificent blend of hiking trails and estuary views. We saw a Common Egret, heard an owl, saw bats and elder June Bugs!

Beautiful Views very peaceful

Dogs off leash, mountain biking, hiking = good times

It has both strenuous and easy trails for all levels of fitness. Trail is a bit sandy, so bring hiking poke if you have one. Go slow is surely safer. Excellent spot for walking dogs, hiking daily warm-up, listening leaves sound, etc. Check it out if you havent done so.

A very tranquil open area. A nice play space &equipment for children to play on and yet set in an area where you dont hear all their fabulous laughter. Trails and all kinds of natural habitat. Also, with so many mature trees, you also have some shade to cool off in. Close to food and shopping across the street in case you work up an appetite. Park feels safe and allows the opportunity to escape the hustle bustle of your day b4 heading home or just to revive your spirits!

Small parking area. Has a unmarked trail that goes up the side of hills for a bay view

A nice and peaceful place..

Do you need a place to just unwind relax and be with Mother Nature? This is a nice place to get away and you can take a short walk, a long hike or just walk your dog. The park provides bags for your dog waste. If you find yourself wanting to get back to the chaos the Carlsbad Shoppes Mall is around the corner.

Fun place to make memories with family!

Love hiking through the hills with my grandchildren and playing with them on the playground.

Hot windy condttions: walked in shady Eucalyptus Grove! Good well maintained trails. Natural setting ~ Nice

Still wild

Just a great place to hang out, play with the boys, hike, run, walk! Beautiful trees.

Nice, one of many in this area

Its a great place to take your dogs for a long, peaceful walk/hike

They have great trails!

Great place to walk dogs. There are a couple trails and a park for children.

This is a great spot to bring the family for a nice mellow outdoor outing. Dog friendly which is awesome. The kids always love exploring around looking for new insects and plants. Bonus is that its right in town and youbcould never tell (unless youre by the edges) that is

So pretty and quiet (except for the car noise)

Great park for small children, only baby swings here. Small playground. Great walks

Off of Jefferson, right at the 78 and the Carlsbad mall. Small parking area, a playground with swings, and lots of natural features including trees, small ravines, and space for kids to roam and play.The walking trails through the grove itself are great, and cover a wide area. Most of the area isn’t too far off of the road, so if you’re bringing dogs along keep them on the leash.

Nice shady walking trails, not crowded.

Always a nice place for a walk, stroll or hike. Great dog walking area too.

Great place to take the dog and go for a nature walk lots of hiking trails.

Nice small park.

Pretty and well maintained park with restrooms

Beautiful wooded area, by the Buena Vista lagoon, in Carlsbad. Its near the ocean, which keeps the air cool and comfortable. When walking the trails, I pretend the mall is not down the hill, and the noise I hear doesnt come from the I-5. It isnt a very large area, but its more than enough to walk or run the paths.The trails are uneven, and not appropriate if you have difficulty walking. It can be busy at times with families, kids, bikes, etc, but it can also be very serene. Dogs are welcome, but need to be on leash. Parking is limited, and can be an issue on weekends. Enjoy what is there, and help preserve it. Its beautiful.

Good place to hike for a quick workout or pleasant stroll without going out of Carlsbad.

Pretty easy walking trail with some steep downward slopes

Really nice park. There are seveal picnic tables and a little playground too. The whole area is pretty shaded also which is nice when you dont want too much sun on your kids.

Nice place to get a good hike in or run. Great for exercise

Always a pleasant place to park and relax, play with the kids or hike the hilly trail, oh and view the duck pond across the street, too.

Its nice. A bit close to traffic in certain spots, but good for my 2 year old.

Nice park with walking trails and lots of picnic tables. People bring their dogs and hike.

I almost hate to expound on this place. It is so sparsely visited that I feel most times that I have it to myself. Each week day, I take my 3 dogs for a hike here. I know there are other places to go, but this truly feels like you are not in a town...like it is a national park. Eucalyptus trees for as far as you can see and several trails to choose from. Lots of friendly dogs get their exercise here. Always carry a leash, but dogs do go off leash. Kind of a little secret, so I hope I am not ruining it! Go to the side of the trails that you enter off of Jefferson and you will have a different experience than the one off of Monroe...more of a trail than and open space.

Love hiking here! Easy for children and dogs

Great little part for photoshoots, a stroll or almost anything. Very clean and convenient.

Nice but it can get very hot

Awesome park and beautiful trees!

Very nice place to hike on local trails

Cute!

Great place for a walk and tire out the kids!

Highly recommend

Nice place for a sunset over the lagoon. Occasional urban dog-mushing fun to watch. Steep terrain. Tons of shade amongst tall trees, planted for the railroads, and donated to the city...

Great place, nice little forest with fun easy trails. Been going there since I was a toddler, and its still a great place

Quick place to walk without traveling far. Not much of a scenic trail.

This is a beautiful, tranquil, clean park where you can go for a walk with or without your dog, have a picnic, or read.

Every trip to Oceanside we hike here. Pretty incredible spot

Its a great little easy trail. I used to live right next to the trail head and found it so convenient. Great for dog walks and little ones

Beautiful trails...clean and potapotty.. well kept

Beautiful and very peaceful! Great views of the ocean

Great park if youre into low-key parks with not too many people...

Cool place to spend some quiet time. Lock your doors if you leave your car unattended in the area though.

Nice park..sandy trails and kids play area.

Love it here so peaceful

My daugter in law was approached by a women who got out of a red van with Utah plates telling her that a man came up to her and tried to steel something from her car. My daughter seeing how this strange woman ca.e up to my daughter in law who was holding my 1 year old granddaughter called out to her and the woman runs off. Another patent was out there and she grsbbed her kid and left. Be on the look out parents. Be care ful going to this and any park in general. Our children are special and unfortunately you have people out there trying to snatch them up. The vans driver who was talking on his phone had a dog with him. Who goes to a park and leaves there dog in the car? Unfortunately my daughter wasnt able to get the plate number but noticed it there as she was driving to the store.

Your dog and kids will love you for bringing them here. Nice trails. Serene.

Good for smallies. Keep an eye on em near ledge of playground.

A lot of little Trails makes it fun with all the different styles

Nice place to have a moment of quite.

One of my favorite parks in North County, Its so peaceful and the trees make it smell so good! Plenty of trails easy to hard, great view from the top of the hills. It has very limited Peking which is a good thing because it never gets too crowded or noisy.

Love this place. Cool trails for families and dogs which is important to us.

Both easy and somewhat challenging walks. Nice play area for young children. Wonderful trees and plenty of them. Downside includes limited parking, very limited; can hear and see traffic; the few challenging patches are short unless you go off the path (not usually a good idea). I give it four starts for being a pretty area and three because its mostly a family friendly friendly hike, not for seasoned hikers as a hike, more like a walk with soe hills.

Love the park! Wish there was more parking and regular restrooms. Only a porta potty in the parking lot. But the trees are beautiful, fun playground. Great spot for pictures!

We love this park

Love this place....

Its really a fun place to visit love Noni chalison

This park is near the Buena Vista lagoon but has steep hiking and running trails. Because the trails are narrow, I dont recommend biking here. There are picnic tables and a play lot. Dogs are ok on leash. The major drawback is limited parking and difficult turn-around, although there are several access points.

Cool place to adventure

Nice little country walk park like being in the woods.they have a trail you can walk with your dog.
