Mountain Hawk Park

"That's awesome place. Quiet, beautiful nature to walk and reflect."

"A MULTIFACETED OASIS: NATURE, CULTURE, AND RECREATION UNITE I walk through this park twice weekly from Salt Creek Recreation Center. And every time I see a different sunset,smell a new plant, and see various people. It's amazing to observe the melting pot of cultures enjoying the same beauty. The open scenery with no building obstructions provides a breathtaking backdrop for a serene escape. This setting also allows for fantastic open space, perfect for photography enthusiasts looking to capture the beauty of nature. What struck me most was the park's dedication to showcasing indigenous influence throughout the parks stone artifacts. It is a respectful honor of the area's history. It's worth mentioning that the park promotes responsible wildlife interaction, reminding visitors that rabbits are for seeing, not hunting. This respect for nature extended to the well-maintained walking and jogging trails that wind through the landscape, allowing for both leisurely strolls and invigorating runs. The park's crowning jewel was its beautiful lake and majestic mountains that provides a picturesque backdrop for relaxation and contemplation. This calm environment is recommended as an wellness break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. For those seeking an active outing, the extensive space can easily accommodated family bbq's, parties, soccer matches, and volleyball games, making it an ideal spot for a fun-filled day with friends and family. In my opinion, this park truly stands out as a harmonious blend of natural beauty, cultural appreciation, and recreational opportunities. Whether you're looking for a relaxed time or an active outing, it offers something for everyone to enjoy.

"Mountain Hawk is a medium size l park nestled among local Chula Vista neighborhoods. The views are gorgeous, and it really is a beautiful, peaceful place for reflection and to start the day. They have something for everyone including gazebos, grills, a playground, and an open field. The walking trail, which is gravel, winds up the mountain on the back side of the nearby homes. They are pet friendly with cleaning stations all around and even have a pet fountain. While they do have restrooms, they do not have doors on the stalls and the seats are quite low, so please be aware . This is one of the most beautiful parks in the area and is definitely worth a visit."

"This is a Great Park to bring your family, Sit and relax, exercise, fly a drone, play Pokemon Go (yes some of us still play it). There are trails for walking and running. There are 3 Gazebos you can rent. There are cement tables all over the place. There are play areas for Small kids, and even a water fountain that comes out of the ground. And the View Of the lake is Great! I love going there sometimes and just look over the water. Check out this park its Great!."
