Mast Park

This might be one of the most natural and well-designed parks I’ve seen around San Diego. The whole layout just feels seamless with nature – walking trails along the river, trees everywhere, and open spaces that make you forget you’re still in the city. The playgrounds are amazing: big slides, climbing structures, swings, ball courts, and even little bridges and shaded pavilions. There are play sets for all ages, from toddlers to older kids, which makes it super family-friendly. I really like how creative the play areas are, using natural materials like logs and rocks to make it feel more adventurous. Beyond that, there’s plenty of space for a chill picnic, a dog park with different sections, and wide open lawns. You’ll also find outdoor fitness equipment, basketball courts, and a disc golf course if you want something active. Plenty of parking, nice restrooms, and shaded areas make it comfortable to spend hours here. It’s honestly one of those places where you can just relax, let the kids explore, or bring friends for a laid-back afternoon.

Mast Park is a very nice park with some very good amenities. I came for a 40 minute walk, and a few walks around the park accomplished my goal. The park offers large playgrounds for the little ones, clean restrooms, a dedicated dog park and walk, good picnic and BBQ areas, and basketball courts. I liked the well maintained trail that traverses around and through the park. There are plenty of mature trees, good grassy areas, and shaded pavilions.

2/28/26 First time going to this park. It was nice and big. The bathrooms are clean and well stocked. It's a little tricky to find even with GPS and once you're in the park you have to maneuver to different sections

This is a great park!!!!! Parking can be a problem at busy times, but the experience is worth it. Great for families with kids of all ages. We often have a homeschool group here and spread out activities on the picnic tables. Great walking trails, frisbee golf, stupid signs that say you “assume the risk” of being at a park. Bathrooms are clean. Frisbee golf for the nerds. Dog park. and Dipping Dots ice cream for everyone.

This is a lovely park with a fun 9 hole Par 3 disc golf course. There are two concrete tee pads and excellent signage for each hole. We played the shorts and longs to make 18 and it was a fun round. Most are sub 250 ft, but the baskets are placed well with the trees forcing a variety of shot types. Our local friend said it was a well loved course. We played a sunrise round and only saw a few groups by the time we ended. Would love to play again with my own discs!
