    I grew up driving by the beautiful old barn that was here, and was kinda sad when it was torn down and the fields around it developed---but this a great facility and it is wonderful it as a hub of activity for so many kids and adults. My daughter is taking a Youth Fit class with Miss Frances and loving it. From being shy and needing me to walk her into the class, now she jumps out of the car with a "See ya later Mama" and not a backward glance. :) This facility has great views and is easy to get to from adjacent neighborhoods.

    Another great park in Chula Vista. They have a playground with covered picnic tables right by the rec center. Indoor and outdoor basketball courts. A good amount of parking space in the lot. Like the other Chula Vista rec centers, they offer a variety of classes for all ages. They are also open for use on sundays which is pretty cool. The few times I've been here has been good experiences. Clean, well maintained, peaceful. A nice community space.

    A jewel of Eastlake. The outdoor amenities are very nice. You might have to wait for a tennis court, but they do have rules posted if you are waiting and it shouldn't be more than a half hour for most. They offer classes for a small fee.

    we have my father-in-law's 82nd birthday there with the ping-pong tables in the pool table and the lounge and it was fantastic we had about 60 people there and we had it all to ourselves highly recommended but you have to be a live in Chula Vista resident of the city of Chula Vista in order to get to do that.

    Their new gym and equipment is great. The staff is the best and though it's small it suites me before everyone else figures it out!

  • 4/5 Alexandre S. 5 years ago on Google
    I have visited this park many times and I'm always impressed by the cleanliness and friendliness of the staff. This park has lots of open space and the facilities are good. I would suggest going to Montevalle for the ping pong and foosball table since both tables are broken there. The back of the park has a huge area and I often go there to fly my drone since the open space has no trees.

    Great community park with great amenities and rec programs. Used to send my kids to Tiny Tots program for pre-school. Nice gym for basketball and other activities. Best deal going is the fitness center! Way cheaper than one of the big name gyms with a good variety of equipment for your workout needs.

    Very nice open space with a walk path around the park, lake and Rex center

  • 5/5 Tom L. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place to host a kids birthday party lots of space

  • 4/5 Jennifer D. 6 years ago on Google
    This is a great place for families and groups. Street parking. Picnic tables, shade coverings, playgrounds, fields, walking/running trail, duck pond, bathroom, skate park, and more. Upper and lower park areas. It would be 5 stars except that, because of the creek, there is a huge mosquito problem at least from April until October, mostly at dusk.

  • 5/5 Daniel A. 3 years ago on Google
    Very nice park full of so many activities. Specifically came here to see if there was indoor soccer but unfortunately the field has been ripped out in what seems to look like construction. Hopefully it is fixed soon.

  • 4/5 Jason B. 3 years ago on Google
    A nice walk. Not to many folk outside.

  • 2/5 Bulio _. 3 years ago on Google
    The park is cool and there isnt a lot of people, but everything feels a little outdated, the skate park is tiny for the amount of empty space they have to fill, ive lived here for 17 years and everytime i go there isnt very much upkeep and things to do

    Only complaint was the soda machine wasn't taking dollars and I wanted a drink. Otherwise it was clean and when someone got hurt, they brought ice and a trainer to check on the basketball player.

  • 5/5 Sally H. 2 years ago on Google
    Always a nice place to play! Outdoor BB courts, playgrounds, soccer, skate park etc. Also indoor rec center with lots of activities!

  • 5/5 Rein B. 2 years ago on Google
    I take the hot hula class with Debbie and she's amazing! She's funny, patient, and makes you feel like you're a good dancer. You also get a great workout 💪

  • 5/5 John G. 4 years ago on Google
    Very nice place for me and my wife to walk while grandson practices flag football.

  • 5/5 tom v. 4 years ago on Google
    There is a small skateboard park, an indoor basketball court. Dog parks for different size breeds. There are open grass fields for sports, eucalyptus trees and walking paths all around.

👍 My son and I love it here, however its frustrating to pay a monthly fee for a child watch that isn’t a guarantee. We’ve been put on a waiting list multiple times upon arrival. Imagine arriving with pre workout in your system ready to crush it and this happening. Not fun. It would be great if we coul...

👍👍 It’s a nice center that has been around since the 1960s. Indoor basketball and a room for ballet or modern dance. The staff were friendly and very helpful.
