Poinsettia Park is hands down our favorite park in the area. It’s huge and truly has everything you could want in one spot. The playground is great for kids of different ages, and there’s plenty of open space to run around and play. The walking trail is perfect for getting steps in, and we love that there are tennis courts, pickleball courts, baseball fields, and even a dog park all in one place. There are also BBQs and picnic tables, which make it so easy to spend the whole afternoon here with family and friends. Huge bonus: the bathrooms are consistently clean and well-maintained. It’s just such a well-kept, versatile park that works for everyone!!

Large park in carlsbad. Has a dog park, one for small dogs and one for big dogs. Has tennis and pickle ball courts, basketball courts, two lighted baseball fields, one lighted giant soccer field on artifical turf. Little kids playground. Lots of grass and trees. Close to the coast so it’s nice, not at all hot on the summer. Chilly at night. About 1/4 mile from Costco and Legoland. Ev chargers and the people here are nice. No loud music from cultures who are not neighborly. Friday afternoon and evening is very busy with kids sports so parking is hard to find in the park.

Diamond level park here. Hooped for a while, used the facilities, enjoyed the fauna. Smart parking setup and walking paths. This is a solid choice, the kid park was packed about 10-12 on a summer weekday, lots of dogs.

Amazing park and very well maintained. If you're looking for a park for the whole family this is the right park. You can play basketball, baseball, football, pickleball, volleyball and plenty of other things.. the park is truly huge.

This is a great park with great facilities for everyone. Tennis courts (very busy on weekends), athletic fields, a very nice dog park, a very nice playground for younger kids, basketball courts, and a great walking path. Too bad, people can be ignorant to their best like unleashing their dogs on the grassy field while the dog park was empty not far from it.
