Aztec Park

This is a great neighborhood park. It’s nestled away from heavy traffic and sits adjacent to a stop sign, effectively controlling street traffic for pedestrians. One of its best features though is that it backs up to a big grassy hill, perfect for doing tumbleweeds!
I bring my lil dude here and usually his buddy. They like to play for a couple hours here and enjoy all the space. I like to describe them as free-​ranging dudes. They just run around and do crazy stuff. Sometimes they bring scooters, sometimes they use the playground equipment. They do have a nice set of swings and the requisite slide ect. The boys seem to enjoy imaginative play more though.
This park has plenty of space to play soccer too. And there are benches scattered around. There is shade here and there and one of the nicer features is the picnic tables and BBQ area with trees for shade, perfect for birthday parties. There’s lots of street parking, it’s never been an issue when we come during the week or on the weekend. And of course, there are public bathrooms.

Parking not so great the day I went. Good for kids, nice grass, kind of fun, but parking is my think. Can’t park, not interested in the park. Area is rather nice, I wish the city would spend a little more. Only on the facilities though. The day we were there they were dirty and messy. Balboa park sometimes has the same situation. It that place is fairly awesome. Check it out and take a ride. Will try more parks and review later. Have a nice week and enjoy the fall in San Diego.

nice large park with bathrooms. There’s a playground for kids and large grassy places for parties and bounce houses. There’s not enough tables and chairs though do bring your own or picnic blankets.

Pros: Very cute and quiet park, Not located on a main street, private, small, has a kids jungle gym, public restrooms, clean
Cons: Not many benches, no basketball court
I visited this park on a Sunday afternoon and there were probably 30 people in the whole park, dog walking, playing catch, rolling down the grass hill, picnics, playing at the jungle gym. There is plenty of off street parking. The park has a lot of open green space. I will definetly return.

I take my son here a lot. It has a lot of open space for him to run. It has a toddler size play area to bigger kids. My son is getting really good. Make sure you watch your kids, I have encountered a few creeps.

Decent play structures. Lot’s of green space!

I’ve been here plenty of times, it is a great park that is quite hilly on the east side but that is where the seating primarily is. The señora and I celebrated our daughter’ 1^st birthday here and we weren’t disappointed. It’s in a pretty low key neighborhood and I’ve never had a problem getting a spot. During the week there are many boot camps going on that may inspire you to get your run on but if not just take a book and lounge under the tree. Hey it’s a park!

Cute little park, lots of street parking nearby, and a huge grassy hill. Good for kids, pets, picnics, running, etc.

It’s a nice park. I live very close by and my dog loves to go for walks around the park. The only thing is I wished it had a basketball court. But otherwise there’s plenty of grass area to play soccer, football, and Kan Jam.

As with its few street neighbor, Jackson Park, Aztec Park remains my favorite park in La Mesa. The huge grassy hill made for awesome kart wheel competitions throughout the years, the sidewalk was great for bike races, the play equipment was large and never made you bored. Plenty of shade and tables for picnics or places for parents to sit. The nice thing about this park is it is tucked away in a residential area so the traffic volume going past is much lower. Most beautiful park in La Mesa. Hands down.

There is a big grassy hill… perfect for ice blocking! I have alot of great memories here. Great place for frisbee.
