Alta Vista Botanical Gardens 1270 Vale Terrace Drive, Vista, CA 92084

"Atla Vista Botanical Garden is a peaceful place with beautiful gardens and lots of different plants. It's perfect for nature lovers who want a calm and relaxing afternoon. The atmosphere is really nice, and the scenery is gorgeous. It's a great place to visit if you want to take a break and enjoy nature"

"Very nice place to visit and walk thru. There is disc golf, basketball,volleyball, horseshoes, kids' playground, tennis, and baseball."

"Absolutely beautiful gardens, very well kept. Great for children too."

"Very cool and interesting garden. My kiddos love the sculptures and the children’s section. The turtles in the ponds are a big hit with them as well! I live much closer to the San Diego botanic gardens but I prefer the more natural and laid back feel at this one. Can beat the price of $5 an adult, $3 for children."

"Accessibility: there are disabled parking spots actually inside this park (see photos). Besides this, there are tons of other, non-disabled parking spots directly inside the entrance of the park, and right outside the park. Most of the park is on hilly, dirt ground, not great for wheelchairs or anyone who has a difficult time walking. Experience: I paid five dollars per person to enter (I wish it was per car but I guess that's how they keep the park running). I came on a Sunday and there were other people there but not that many. I actually never crossed by anyone closely on any trails. It is definitely a beautiful park with great views of Vista, but I recommend coming later in the day, maybe two hours before sunset, so there is more shade from the trees. During the middle of the day it gets super hot and there isn't as much shade when the sun is directly overhead. There are drinking fountains with water in a few places around the park which is super cool, and they have bathrooms (porta potties) and trash and recycle bins all over. Very cool place, very relaxing."
