Bayside Park

Nice place to walk and have a gathering, saw couple of parties going on. Perfect place to have a party with a piñata! :D

I had no idea this baby was hidden away in Chula Vista. The view is gorgeous from here. Now that I know it’s here, I will come back. My brother and I bought a couple burritos from Robertos (like back in the day when we were in high school) and went to the park for a picnic. There were plenty of places to sit and did I mention the view? I did, but it is worth mentioning again. Go check it out for yourself.

This place is lots of fun for families. Ice cream trucks abound when we were there made getting a cool treat easy. People go in the water and we all checked out a para-​surfer who was shredding.
My only ding about this place would be the lack of police. Since it is tucked away by the RV Park, it’s a little drive to get there from what you might think is the end of J street. So, there was a group at the park partying, with loud music and blatantly drinking alcohol. Now, to be clear, I don’t mind the music or the illegal alcohol as long as you are respectful to others. This means keep the music low and try to at least hide your booze consumption: use cups, hide bottles and cans, etc. Don’t stand there pushing your 2-​year old daughter while drinking a tall silver can of beer. That just reeks of stupidity.

Very chill, relaxing park. I went later in the afternoon on a Saturday (2:30pm) so was able to park in the parking lot. Parking lot is small, and most end up parking on the outskirts. Great for a nice stroll, very pretty.

Love it here! Was here for the Chula Vista Bayfront Celebration this past weekend. Shores are awesome, people in the water, kayaking, boats, great sightseeing too! Park area is very nice. Looking forward to coming back on a non-​event weekend to explore further!

Beautiful scenery and lush grass. It has a great view of the bay and lots of picnic tables, and benches to sit at, and a path to walk along the shoreline. Also there is bathroom facilities. Awesome!

This is my favorite place in San Diego to launch my kayak from the beach here.
It is lovely in the early morning especially in the winter when all the birds migrate.
It is never crowded with boats so fishing form my kayak is very peaceful.
Fishing is almost always good here and just a terrific spot for kayaking.
10 stars for the serenity and calm in the morning!

One of my favorite little parks in SD county. Great spot to relax and just chill for an hour or two, or if your in the mood to exercise, meditate or just enjoy your lunch under a nicely shaded area during your lunch break this is the place to do it. A very clean, quiet, zen like park with enough space that it makes you feel like it’s your own little private park.

Visiting Chula Vista for a few days over the Holidays, I went out in search of some place scenic for morning runs. I came across BaysidePark, as well as its 2 neighboring waterfront parks.
My impression of Chula Vista’s 3 parks down at the end of J Street & Marina Parkway was something like the Story of Goldilocks and the 3 Bears. 1 park was too small (Bayfront Park), 1 park stank of sulfur (Marina View Park) & 1 park was just right. Bayside Park was just right.
Tucked away between a trailer park & San Diego Bay, Bayside Park is lovely & full of features. There’s a decent amount of parking, winding waterfront paths, 2 restroom facilities, picnic tables, a playground area, art installations, a long pier & nice Bay views throughout.
Starting my runs here, heading over to neighboring Bayfront Park & then returning to run around Bayside Park some more was a good way to get me going for the day. Whenever the weather is nice in Chula Vista (when isn’t it?), Bayside Park is a great option for some outdoor activity.

The City of Chula Vista has a real gem here! I hope big business and commerce doesn’t take over this wonderful family friendly park.
You can come for a picnic, fly a kite, watch the ducks, enjoy the sunshine. There is a play structure and swing set to one end near the pier. There are restrooms and lots of places to sit. A BIG plus in my book. So many parks and waterfronts have ZERO benches. You can fish on the pier without a license, but only on the pier. Both ends of this park have restrooms and you can enjoy some grub and music at the Galley at the Marina. They have good food, but their service is horrible … go with lots of patience.
Have a great time with your family and friends!
