Very family friendly, clean.

Arrived 9:00 AM on Saturday August 30. Tree shaded area still very pleasant temperature. Skate park closed. Club house appeared open, but we did not check it out. ECPD Community Service Officer was just leaving. Nothing unpleasant to report. Level paved walkways and got our mile in.

Its a nice place. Very peaceful and quiet. I like to go on walks out there on sunday after I get back from church and listen to my bible.

Nice place to go walking

It was fun, clean and well kept. The families their were also nice and outgoing. We will visit again soon. Thank you!!!!

Nice spacious park. Good for a stroll and walking your doggies.

City workers do as little as possible and take as much time explaining why they wont do something as it would taken to do it. Example: I asked a city worker to clean out a drain on the drinking fountain. He said there is mud in there. I said your job is to clean it out but he did not.

Beautiful open space....Playground is kinda whack...skate park is meh....but the open grassy areas are great for everyone

There is hardly any lights and theres an area built for the kids to play, but is kept locked up and when the children find a way to get in, the police comes to keep them out. Also, the bathrooms are locked up too early. So, the lights need to be fixed, 5he bathrooms open later and keep the childrens area open for them. As long as the children keep their masks on and are safe, there should be no reason to keep it closed.

Great park! Nice open area to play soccer with my kids. And nice area to walk. There are tennis courts and also a sitting area. And its open right now during Covid-19 everybody dose social distance. The only thing not open is the kids juggle gym.

The park is clean and busy and the people are friendly. Its a great place to hang out. The are bathrooms, but no soap so bring sanitizer.

This park is very relaxing you get to do exercise and bring your bike and your furry little 4. Legged friends and enjoy tennis and soccer or wall ball or volleyball

Great park and its a nice place to have fun Saket board they have a little skate area and you can go Pokémon hunting their awesome

Really nice to walk around. If play Pokemon. There are 7 stops which 1 is a gym. Has skate park and some other things can do there.

Great park that acts as a social hub for diverse families to gather and enjoy their leisure time as a community.

Nice place to meet with friends for open space small covid safe gathering

Its good to take a walk in the mornings in the evenings.

I love the wiled Green parrots

Clean and well kept, great for walking,great view

Very relaxing and people there are pretty nice.

Been going to this park since I was a kid..great park..take my dog there often

This large green space is very well taken care of and features many amenities including tennis, raquetball, baseball field, playground, skateboard park, picnic tables and more. The park is settled in among residential neighborhood, and is a few miles from the nearest freeway, the 8. When you visit, youll enjoy the wide variety of trees including pine and seasonal colors. Street parking is limited, especially during busy times. Get off your iPad, and go play outside!

Nice park with trees for shade and public bathrooms

It has plenty of space with a play area, skate park, baseball field and plenty of gras

This Park is huge and has a lot of activities for the families. I love riding our bikes here. Thanks for keeping this Park clean and safe for the Cajon families.

The park was well kept.

Would be better if kids could play on play structure

It’s the family’s go to park. Playground for kids. Big field it’s nice

Good park with a decent baseball field. Not a lot of parking. Bathrooms are not open during the weekend. There is also no shade for the bleachers to watch the game. That should be a must have. Not sure why this is not done as well as the bathrooms not being opened

Lot a munchkins... cute.

Playground is fenced off :( no available bbqs. Notuch shelter. Nice and green and open.

Great location for sports, large areas..

During the daytime this park is always a quiet Oasis of shade and fun. There are some issues with the homeless and the teenagers who are acting up, but they are few and far between. The REC center has plenty of fun and safe options including a skate park for scooters and skateboards... Its always fun. The playground is small and for younger kids, but it is always a blast for my kids

Playground and Skate Park still closed due to covid but the park is open..

Beautiful park for fun, pets, parties, get-togethers. There is also a skateboard park backback-to-back, basketball, tennis, and bathrooms.

Its pretty chill

One of the best parks in El Cajon. Rec center, Baseball/Softball/Soccer fields, playground, skate park and plenty of picnic and Birthday party room. Parking lot is small but plenty of street parking for overflow. This park is policed well and doesnt have the same loitering and drug issues that other parks in the area have. Also a perfect place to go for 4th of July, lots of families and activities topped off with a fireworks show synchronized to music at 9pm.

Tell others why you liked this place.

It is nice, clean and there are a lot of B-day partys going on. I might even have my daughters birthday party here.

Love to take the dogs here. They always have a great time. People are friendly. Park is clean and well lit. Has a little playground, baseball field, soccer field, tennis courts and skate park. Love watching the skaters while walking the dogs. Some brave kiddos doing tricks in there. Side walk through out park to walk or bike on. Lots of parking.It will get crazy busy around 2pm or 3pm as Granite Hills H.S lets out around that time. Just be prepared for a little bit of cluster and loads of people.I have very odd hours but, have been fortunate to not encounter any danger (knock on wood).*NOT THAT IM SUGGESTING ANYONE GO WALK THIS PARK AFTER HOURS!!!Its just peace of mind being able to go somewhere; walk. After the walk make it home safe and sound.P.S Sometimes they even leave their big baseball field lights on till late.*****Who ever does this THANK YOU I REALLY REALLY REALLY APPRECIATE IT!! ******

Looks nice from the outside the fireworks where great

Along with the posted closures it was closed for a private lesson. So, I went to Lakeside which is open without the caged and lame factor.

Great city park.

Elcajon up! Box city banging

Very disappointed. We went to walk our dogs. The place was over run with homeless and groups of people all ober the place drinkimg, smoking pot and playing loud music. My dogs were terrified and would not walk, we had to carry them to the enclosure for the dogs. The dog park was great. It is divided between large and small dogs and is fenced in. It is well maintained despite tje tons of homeless and drugs. We refused to go back. But since oir last visit they have fenced the entire park in. Although, there is still a huge amount of homeless camped out and druggies using. Stay away!!

This is one of the Cleanest Public park in El Cajon. It is a Pretty large Park with a Rec center. I like it because a great variety of people, multi-national, all ages, enjoy this park. We went to their 4th of July event, the rec center staff were operating the jumpers and seem to know all the kids who attended the rec center, first names. And the children seem to genuinely like the Staff members.

I love this park first time going there I love the grass to run and play with my son I only wish that it would have a bigger playground area for my son to play on

Loved going to Kennedy Park to see one of the grandkids kick off his introduction to soccer. Parking easy, well organized AYSO staff, very helpful. Fun morning, ready for more :)

Was here for 4th of July ... The fire works here are always good. Its wholesome fun for the whole family. Towards the middle of the day it got pretty packed but a do-able packed not overcrowded. There was small activities for the kids i didnt partake but a nice option.

The park is self was really nice the bathrooms were very dirty they need someone to come and clean on a regular basis a lot of homeless going to the bathrooms to wash up but the park itself I really enjoyed

Great park for family events or sports (like soccer).

Nice park I love that they have a skate park but remember that you need pads and a helmet to enter it !!

Great atmosphere just watch out for the rowdy high schoolers

Nice place for a small but fun dog show

This review is mostly about the GATED SKATE PARK there @ Kennedy Park. Its across from Granite Hills high school. Its a great skate park for scooter riding. Just to name a couple or so of what they have is: a spine, coping, a pyramid & a waterfall. Your kid will know what those are if they like to scooter a lot.You MUST (REQUIRED) to wear protective padding for your knees, elbows & a helmet just to ride in the skate park. I saw an older kid break his front teeth there. Scared me so we got a mouth guard to protect/cover lips & teeth just to be even more safe. I reccomend a mouth gaurd because who doesnt want PEACE OF MIND or to deal w/ the dentist etc.Sometimes it might NOT look like anyone is there in the tiny office where you enter to get into the skatepark but there is ALWAYS a YMCA person inside & ready to come out & hold your membership card while you are inside using the skate park. They return it back to you when you want to leave. The cost is only $5 for the year & sign up for this skate park membership is done in person at the Rec center there in the same park. Youll needa parent to sign & give permission type stuff if your considered a KID that wants to use the skate park. They take a picture of you right there & print out a laminated card w/ your picture & hand it over to you so you can use it the same day @ the skate park. If you loose your card, youll need to pay another $5 for a replacement. We havent lost ours so Im NOT sure if they need to retake your picture again for the replacement card.At the skate park you can find a print out for their current available times/days for scooter riding times etc. Bikes & skateboarders have different time slots. Or you can find it online under the Kennedy Rec Center Skate Park. Its a great place to have your kids at on a Friday night (currently 6-9pm). Nice place to take them instead of your kid(s) being bored, bugging you or siblings at home, needing some exercise or doing anything else you dont want your kids doing.They also provide different levels of classes for scooter, bike & skate boarding. Monday, tomorrow the 16th of Sept. 2019 is the day you are able to register for classes. Its around $40 or so depending if youre a resident or outside of that area. The Rec center has lots of activities to choose from too. Just look up the website Kennedy Park Rec Center.The surrounding area of the park holds orginized sports practice/games & a lot of loud group gatherings playing their own sports, having picnics, having parties & watching their kids play @ the playground. Ive seen lots of jumpers for birthday parties so Im assuming you need to maybe get permission or something(Im NOT sure). I do NOT have experience of having a party or needing a jumper so check it out for yourself online or in person @ the Rec Center. Great place to walk around for exercise too. Bathrooms are open at the Rec center while the Rec Center is open only. The other public bathrooms seem to be open when the Rec center bathrooms are closed. So what Im trying to say is, that its a very pleasant park to spend time at.

It is a family oriented place

Nice and quiet

The only place that had outdoor fireworks

Clean shady park with restrooms. Tables for picnics and baseball field. Always nice

I called to ask for your WiFi. Saturday. A guy was there that could have given me the WiFi. He was texting and eating.

Great park one can smoke some pot in the car while there kids play and run wild.

I like to walk and run around the granite hills high school its a great distance

Parking lot inside the park is going to close betwen 7-8 pm i think it will be better if its closed 10 pm beacuse some family want to be their to late night.

Love it its my spot for walking barefoot and taking my service dog to play. Mice mellow clean park.

Beautiful park. Lots of shade and well maintained grounds. All the picnic tables are concentrated in one area though. Could be better with more spread through out the park. Homeless not an issue there (yet)

I usually skate here after school, its pretty cool

Its alright.

Large park suitable for walking, having parties and very nice community.

Its good for kids and close to where I live and my grandchildren have a great time

Serene.

It is a great park it always Clean looks really nice it really great

Lots of space with a rec center for indoor basket ball. Get there early to get a place to set up for a party, but too early and lots of homeless people sleeping there. Wouldnt be a problem if they cleaned up after themselves.

This is my sons favorite park to go to in the East County. Its a pretty clean park, with the recreation center located on the property this park gets a lot of maintenance. There isnt a huge homeless problem in this park either unlike other parks in the area.The park features a sports field, lighted ball diamond, a colorful playground, tons of walkways for cycling, walking and jogging and picnicking areas. The park is also home to the annual Fourth of July picnic and fireworks display. Next to the park is the Kennedy skateboard park which caters to skateboards, in-line skates, scooters and BMX bikes.

For 4th of July, it was okay. There is only one tiny park for the kids, which was horribly packed. There were a few blowup activities and slides; there were many ice cream trucks and a few food stands. One of those food stands took card. The firework show was short. Most people brought picnic setups, and there is plenty of space to let kids just run around.

Staff is really nice and facility is clean.

As a very nice part very big plenty of room for the kids to play and the playground is just the right side for babies,and school age kids.I love this park...

It is a simple wide open park with lots of space, a bike/skate park, and a playground.

Clean and a good place for family events

Perfect 4th of July ever with the fire work

Family friendly and has a playground for toddlers, a skate park, and a dog park.

Love the vide and ramps

Beautiful sport/skating park !! It has everything so children and grownups can enjoy a great day.

Went to watch the fireworks show last night. Great show. I have watched the fireworks show from here many times in the past and will be back next year. If you are in East County this is the place to go for the 4th of July festivities.

Battery died. Awesome service and replacement of battery became a good experience. AAA Knowledgeable and flexible guy helped. Thanks again!

The best park in El Cajun . very clean and A. Great park to take your family too

Great place to go good environment

Great spot for family and friends.

Best in San Diego for Bar b que!

Love this ace great place for. Kids

Had a party for my son who turned 4 and during the party cops where driving on the lawn right in front of us

Very nice place to have a get together bathrooms were clean parking was nice just a perfect spot to hamg ouy and chill

Nice park. Something for all ages especially when the rec center is open. Its always quiet and being surrounded by an elementary, middle and high school, it feels somehow safer.

Beautiful park good for family events. We had a baby shower here and it was nice no crazies out to ruin your experience

Fun for everybody good for the kids good for the family great safe place to go

Small park big fields to play ball

Its very clean no homeless people like wells park I have nothing against them but doing drugs or drinking when kids are around . So Kennedy park good job ...

An excellent park.

Its a good park its clean and safe I love it!! Specially for my dogs

There was this big, black thing with a solar panel. I think it tried to eat me. The food was quite nice, though.

Ive been using this park 3 years to take my dog for a walk. Lately I noticed more and more homeless in the park sleeping and just hanging out making me feel uncomfortable. Hence the two Stars. I sure would like these people to find themselves
