Great community park overlooking the Otay Lakes and mountains. The views are beautiful.The bad parts of the park is that vandalism, trash, and poor maintenance become the bigger issues that ruin the beauty of the park.During the pandemic: Few people are wearing face coverings, yet social distancing is not followed if not from the same household. Poor maintenance of the park is seen at the moment. Pesky weeds, trash cans full, and trash strewn near the trails or off the side of the trails.

What an amazing place, we were on top of a hill looking down on the lake, man it was just a beautiful day with a beautiful view

Great area for a picnic or taking kids to play. Theres a beautiful view of the lake further in, and when I was there, there was plenty of parking. There area had tables and trees for shade. There are quite a lot of ants, but its a park! So, thats to be expected, lol.

Very clean. Well kept. Just a great place to go.

Nice park with clean Bathrooms, overlooking Otay lakeLots of trails to hike around Otay Lake(or mountain biking)

This is a Great Park to bring your family, Sit and relax, exercise, fly a drone, play Pokemon Go (yes some of us still play it). There are trails for walking and running. There are 3 Gazebos you can rent. There are cement tables all over the place. There are play areas for Small kids, and even a water fountain that comes out of the ground. And the View Of the lake is Great! I love going there sometimes and just look over the water. Check out this park its Great!.

Excellent park clean and calm!

I really like the trail and historical landmarks telling tales of the place and region. I just wished they planted more trees.

Excellent place to take the kids or meet up with friends or family. Nice clean safe park.

Beautiful park with plenty of space to run around, beautiful view to the lake. It also has gazebos that can be reserved thur the city of chula vista

If you havent visited this park you need too...We did a church meeting and it was a blast.. Beautiful park.. God bless....

Very clean, well maintained. Fun for runs or relax and soak up the sun

$3 parking for a beautiful clean park

Nice place to use my bike, and play soccer

Absolutely gorgeous park, we visited for the first time trying to spot Neowise Comet and were impressed by the beauty of the park and the views of the lake are unbeatable .

Celebrated my sons first birthday at Gazebo 1. We absolutely loved it. Beautiful view, splash pad, and nice playground. My only concern would be the rest rooms dont have doors, but other than that I still rate this park 5 stars. Definitely worth the money we spent to reserve this location.

This is a really nice park. It has lots of open grass area, a playground for the kiddos, many tables & benches - some of which are set off from the others for parties or e events - and a super neat ground fountain that kids & dogs like to play in on hot days. Oh, and the view of Otay Lakes is spectacular! The only reason this park doesnt get 5 stars from me is that something always seems to be out of order here. The last time I was there, the fountain and the drinking fountain werent working.

Very nice park. Great views

This park is really fun and great for the family. Playground for kids, wonderful view of the lake and mountains. Public restrooms, water fountains for kids (certain times of the year) basketball courts, covered areas for events.It does get busy with families, but almost everyone has been kind and just looking to have fun with their kids as well.

Can you believe this background! Amazing. Photo ops. Great place for a wedding. I do recommend having your guests carpool as it is a busy park. And parking is limited. Or get there early for better oarking.

Nice park beautiful views and there is lake there too love nature.

Great family park with amazing views of the lake!

Nice view and great for kids.

It was a breathtaking view of the mountains & nature. Very spacious park that can hold multiple events. Soccer fields, basketball field, and multiple pavilions! One of the best parks in the area tbh. Would definitely recommend a stop by if youre visiting like myself. Gorgeous skies as well.

Another beautiful park. From the story theme to the water fountain for everyone.. Creativity was spared no expense. There is even a place to preform little shows or readings.I even enjoy the small ironic things.

Beautiful views, great place to walk, plenty of hiking trails and awesome spot for birdwatching!! I come here often and its always so quiet and peaceful, one of my favorite parks in San Diego.

My favorite park in San Diego. Amazing views of the lake and mountains. Great walking place too.

It was awesome experience. Saw lizards and lots of birds. Nice walk!

Nice trails to walk and bike. Great for kids to play. Always has a great view.

This park is breath taking! Theres ample space to roam free; from the bike/run/walking paths, to the open field space for dogs and picnic areas with pavilions and playgrounds for the kids. The best part is it overlooks a lake!!

Its a beautiful place I enjoyed the views. Very clean and family friendly! With tables gazebos and bathrooms. With kids playground. You are sure to have a great family outdoors picknic or party!

Stunning views and never crowded. Huge open field and lovely trail. Kids play area, covered and open areas for picnics, restrooms. You wont be disappointed!

Oh my gosh what a view, of Otay Lake, you have to visit this park, it has a water feature for the kids to play in, and a play ground, lots of pagodas for shade with picnic tables and BQs lots of grass for kids to run around in, also nice basketball court. Several trails to go on walks or hikes, dogs are welcome.

Baren open field. Not enough trashcans. If your idea of fun is heatstroke then this is your park.

Very nice, relaxing place. Big grass area perfect for walking with dogs or kids. Nice view of the reservoir and mountains. Lots of sitting areas, basketball court and playground.

Great park that gives you the out door feeling.

Great community park. Close to ARCO. Good for picnics and family photos

Love going to this park for a walk, an event or just to catch the sun rise. They have plenty of space even when it’s busy. The bathrooms are not too bad. The water poppers are great for the kids on a hot day.

This park is So peaceful and beautiful.

Great park! The spray pad area is smaller than what I thought it would be but it was nice on a hot day. You should tell your child to not run/walk fast or they will fall. There are play structures for young and older children. There are lots of picnic tables, bbqs, trees for shade. The grass is soft but small ants did get on us from the grass. Gorgeous view. Diverse set of people use the park. There is a basketball court. Bathroom has 3 stalls with no doors.

I love this park. Absolutely breathtaking views.

Best park in South SD

A very peaceful playground and guarded, $3 for parking, the gate close at 5pm.

Beautiful family park great views lake mountains but swarm of bees present yesterday so left right away.

Beautiful Park and lake. Very close to the Olympic Training Center.

Best view for a park! Very peaceful too

Great park overlooking the beautiful Otay Resivoir, lots of space and a constant light wind granting fresh air to all!

Its a beautiful park that has a stunning view of the Eastward mountains. Shameful that the current state of the world discourages people from visiting it

It was a breathtaking view of the mountains & nature. Very spacious park that can hold multiple events.

Very spacious! Love the view of the lake here!

Nice and beautiful place.

Beautiful views for morning walk/hike!!

Big, beautiful, fun, family hangout.

Loved this park its a bit hidden in the back of the rec center. Huge PARK beautiful view of all the hawks over the lakes & also parashooters in the sky!

Beautiful views.

Lovely views of Otay Lakes. Come at dawn for peaceful serenity.

Beautiful view!

Awesome views for trails, picnics etc

Great park plenty of parking

This park is absolutely gorgeous. Amazing vistas from the surrounding mountains and lake. Has several gazebos for family or party functions as well as grills for an ideal summer barbeque. Other amenities include 2 full sized basketball courts as well as a small amphitheater and playground for children, and public restrooms.

What a beautiful park over-looking Otay Lakes. There are several large gazibos for some shade and a couple nice trails nearby to enjoy the beauty of Chula Vista and the Otay Lakes.

Great place for family fun. Nice spacious location. Great view of mountains and lake

A little bit of everything. Plenty of wide open grassy areas, water sprinklers for kids to run through, little and big kids playgrounds, and an amazing view of the lake. Built in BBQs, picnic areas, an open air amphitheater, basketball court, and bathrooms.

The view is incredible. Something out of a dream. Just look out into the distance toward dusk and youll understand why.

Nice big open space

The slides retain A LOT of heat, can potentially be dangerous for kids. Would be nice to have an awning over the playground. The water feature pump broke down and water stopped. Not much to the water feature when it was working.. First experience here and it was mediocre at best.

Was a perfect day, nice & hot to take the little ones to the water park. The water kept turning on & off, until finally no more water. The water left on the cement quickly evaporated & the ground was hot, time to leave

Clean and busy. Lots 9f diversions for all ages.

This park serves as the perfect location for the community. It is also a wonderful and safe place for children to play and develop friendships with other children. Additionally, it makes for an excellent trail walking/running access/starting point.

Awsome place to run to get ready for a great baseball practice

Great park with a playground and ampitheater that overlooks the lake. Little shade though just because the trees havent grown in yet. There is a little splash pad.

Beautiful scenery for pictures. Prom pictures,wedding pictures and great place for birthdays. Theres a water play area for kids thats perfect for spring and summer thats when theyre on. If you want to bbq though you need to bring your own grill .

Great park with lots of space to do really anything you can imagine. There are pits for barbecuing, a bball court, benches, trees for shade, a huge green space for football or soccer or whatever you want to play. Also has bathrooms and a splash pad and playground. Theres also a trail for hiking or riding bikes. Gorgeous views of reserve and Otay Lakes

Amazing views. Large park great for playing, walking, frisbee, dogs.

Went there yesterday by myself. There were a lot of people-- usually couples, group of friends and ppl exercising; few tourists. I watched the sunset and it was beautiful. I want everyone to see this place.. but at the same time, somehow, I wanna keep it a secret.

Wonderful park with way more playground features than most. Beautiful view of local man-made lake. Little to no areas for shade.

I have been taken my kids out to this park since they were little. They love the water area, play football and just simply walk.I love the views and the stillness in the mornings. This park ir an awesome park, the people in the neighborhood are awesome. We have a wonderful spot that we take advantage of every time we have a party or a special thing to do with the family. We all bring food, desserts, and we get all together. This is such a versatile park. We have played Bolchi, Football, kites, volley ball, ran, hide and seek, just simply walk and we always have such a great time. The kids love it every time we get to the park. Couple times we have used the park for my company parties. Is a big family and it is always good music, food, entertainment and much more. It is a dog friendly park as long as the dogs are on a leash, there is Handicap parking spots and it does has small parking area yet you can park on the street and it is not so bad. Come and join is!

Clean area, not crowded,was fun

Very peaceful park. PACKED on weekends whenever theres a party. The grass area WINS. Its a great big area with plenty of room for LOTS of people. Often though, the park is usually being used by a handful of folks so it feels like all this space is for you. This is a good park to run sprints on the grass. Theres a good playground and basketball courts. The special feature of this park is the view of Otay Lake. Its a peaceful and calm scene to look at.You can occasionally see people jumping out of planes and landing with their parachutes.At night, this is a good place to view the stars away from the city lights. PEACE is the word of the day with Mountain Hawk Park.Come here to meditate.

Very nice concrete path for scootering. There is a trail on the lake side for running. Spray pad is nice on the hot day.

The area gets hot but they have a free splash pad for kids during those months. Has a nice view of thr lake and very spacious. Just be wary of snakes.

Beautiful view! Great for going for a walk or taking the kids bike riding. Theres a playground and water area .

Great views, clean.

We have used this park for different family reunions and always had lots of fun. To start, is has a good size parking lot, which is convenient, there are plenty of trees and grass areas where you can setup a tent, as well as gazebos that you can rent through the City of Chula Vista if you want a reserved area, or your party is larger than usual. The splash pad is a kids favorite, where they can play with water all day. Highly recommended are the trails with the lake view, and the sunsets, which are nice.

No matter what the occasion this place is great to celebrate and enjoy. Make a reservation or just show up with a pop up shelter. Kids can have a blast in the playgrounds and a basketball court while the families grill and chill.

Cool & relaxing place.

Quite and oeacedul

Beautiful views. Basketball courts. Huge field. Playground. Restrooms. Water feature. Trails. Plenty of tables and even a small amphitheater area. Awesome park!

Very nice location with sweeping views of the lakes and surrounding hills. Nice amphitheater and other equipment. Bathrooms were a little dated and could use a cleaning...

Nice trail with lake view. Lots of parking. Theres a wide green field and basketball court.

Very cool nice park good for a barbecue with fresh air.

Would have rated it a 5, but the upkeep is terrible. Absolutely TERRIBLE!

Has a small splash pad for younger kids. Basketball court and an open field for kids to run around. Very nice spot

There are pillars with plaques around the park with local history about the area and people. Very clean. Great for whole family.

Great views

Great open space for sports, water play, running around and have a good time anytime of the year.

This is a good park for little one and older ones. It has two separate okay grounds. Most kids are really nice and polite here. It has a great view and small trail of Lower Otay Lake.One thing thats not so great is it gets really busy Durning holiday weekends it brings some not so polite people, mainly a lot of littering and left food. Also during those times people dont watch there kids as well, so they kind of just run amok.

A fun water-play pad and good biking trails for small kids with gentle curves and small hills. Beautiful lake view. But on a sunny day, there’s hardly any shade, which can be miserable.

Everything is beautiful around, I feel peace and relaxed but I came 2 days in a row and the trash cans were filled and trash in the floor because doesnt fit in the trash can, I think is a beautiful place so we can keep it clean it would be better

Great park! Great views.
