This place is awesome! Make sure you lock your doors and roll your windows up all the way. If you have a steering wheel lock, I would encourage you to use it while parked here. The first time I visited this park I was greeted by a police officer. He asked me what I was doing, I replied “I just got here I haven’t thought about it, yet”. We looked into each others eyes for 10-15 seconds and then he sped off. I’ll be back often!

This is a pleasant bay front park. San Diego has done it again, providing a multi use recreational public park.The park is well known by the local residents for providing, Estuary viewing, Bay front viewing and Picnic Tables with well maintained lawns, a Grove of mature trees, a small boat launch ramp and trailer parking and restroom facilities.Keep in mind, this is a windy area and can be cold. What is popular here, walking the well maintained sidewalk, and Car Clubs.

Love the bay in Chula Vista. Always loved to sail and would rent one from time to time years ago before my work injury. The park has a childrens area, restrooms and a place to launch your water worthy craft.A few groups meet there after work to show off their tricked out rides from the past. A great place for those one of a kind sunsets as old sol dips below the horizon.

Cool spot. They finally opened the restrooms. You can chill and watch the ocean. There are places to have a picnic. It is one of the local spots for the lowrider scene . I would recommend it if you want to get out.

In a pinch J St marina can work, but you misses out on the complete sunset. The strand blocks the cute of watching the sun sink into the water.

Chula vista has great parks. Near the water and not. Some are better than others but they all have their own unique crowd.

It was a very nice experience..we loved the bike riding...really clean rooms. Please keep the same hygiene. It would of been perfect if you provide a microwave due to the current situation with COVID-19 and social distancing. I couldnt warm up my coffee!!

This park will always give you the best view tho far but u will still able to see coronado bridge and downtown. We always spend memorial and 4th of july here since this spot is not very common yet to most people. I live how clean this place is too. Then have a spot where theres this golden tree with red flowers. Perfect for insta photos.

I adore this park. It is truly a place for anyone and everybody. No matter the weather, you can enjoy the beauty of the flora and fauna that inhabit the park. Furthermore, this is a great place to sit by the water, eat some lunch, or exercise. This park is pet friendly, but please keep your dog on a leash and pick up after your pet. The park provides dog waste bags and receptacles where you may dispose of your dogs waste.

This park is well maintained and a great place to walk your dog(s) or relax at any time. Baggies to scoop up your dogs droppings are provided in several locations and there are multiple trash cans. Several species of birds and squirrels, a few feral cats and even skunks, (though they prefer to come out at night and will run away as you approach) can be seen at various times during the year. The park requires dogs to be on a leash, which protects both the natural wildlife and your pet. Signs are posted to not feed the wildlife and please respect that. The birds can die from the birdseed or bread some people put out everyday. There is ample parking and please do not use the spaces for the vehicle/boat trailer combos at the boat ramp.

I have been comming here since I was 5 years old. I decided to bring my kids like my father would bring me. The power plants are gone, its clean, theres a beautiful view and a playground for the kids to play at. This area is going through redevelopment so stop by and enjoy it in its current state before its gone.

Review №47

This was a very nice find for us. Quiet park with plenty of parking for a Wednesday morning stroll. Not sure what parking would be on the weekends. This was definitely a park geared towards locals and not tourists, so it was nice and quiet and not over wall to wall people.There are a few picnic tables scattered throughout the area, most just feet from the shore line, a few with shade, most were in full sun to grab a nice leisurely seaside picnic with . The grounds were well kept. There is even RV parking available as well as access to the boat launch. Public restrooms are available, and there is a Harbor Police Station adjacent to the boat launch.

Review №95

I was a little disappointed by this park. I love the ocean, & I know its a man-made bay, but it has a very industrial feel. My friend & I took a long walk among a lot of the sidewalks & its not very clean. I think if they added a lot more plants & landscape design (xeriscape mixed in wouldnt be bad), it would look a lot better. A lot of mature trees added in would give it a totally different feel. That, together with keeping it clean, would make a big difference.
