Shady Rest Park Sawmill Cutoff, Mammoth Lakes, CA 93546

"EXCEPTIONAL⭐️PARK⭐️PLAY⭐️EXPLORE While at Mammoth I was looking for a quick spot to take my pup for a walk. The park is only a couple miles from the Ski resorts, but as soon as we drove in it felt like it's own secluded magical forest. There roads become soft dirt roads. There is loads of hiking trails and picnic areas. There is also a skateboard/bike park, with ramps small enough for young kids. There's a baseball field, and volleyball sand area. Everything is sectioned off nicely, but feels open and accessible. I did see several potty bag containers for pets. The signs posted as that all dogs stay on leash. There is ample parking. We parked and walked into the trees instead of the park. The wind was howling and there was still snow on the floor, which my pup loved. We walked for quite a ways and saw lots of blue birds and noticed golf spots sprinkled around the forest, as well as Frisbee golf stands, which made us feel very safe and comfortable. After an hour we walked back to the car. There's little service in the dense trees, but after a short walk (10 min) in any direction the GPS picks back up. Charge your phone. Enjoy!"

"A nice little rest stop to let the kids play. The restrooms are nice and there is a covered shelter and grilling area. The ball fields and volleyball sand pit would also be fun if you brought equipment. There is also a large open field where you could play football or soccer ⚽️."

"Beautiful park, with wide-open space to play games that need lots of room. For me it was the perfect place for lessons about how to cast a rod for fly fishing. No bushes or trees to catch. Noticed the skateboard park and saw a mother teaching her daughter how to skate. Lots of trails and evergreens too!"

"A nice, kid-friendly, paved bike path past the Shady Rest campground to get here. Playground, picnic benches, ball fields, volleyball, and basic bike/skate park. Large covered gazebo for group events. Restroom next to playground. Trails all around."

"1st time visiting this park for a first time attempt at X-country skiing. There was plenty of snow - a good storm about 14 days ago - and the teams were groomed. The x-crountry grooming was wearing, but it was good. The park was clean and well maintained. We also loved that so many people were out with family and dogs."
