El Estero Park

"The Dennis the playground in Montgomery, CA the children love it. Small children enjoy the concrete boat with sea creatures as well as the many slides, three jungle gyms and climbing toys. There's a sky floating bridge and two very large slides. The teens can enjoy the skate park side of the park. There are public restrooms and a snack shack."

"Great park! Be sure to take a ride on the paddle boats. The big ones aren't great in the wind so they don't let you rent them when it's especially windy (ducks, swans, dragon)"

"One of the scenic parks in Monterey. The view of the lake at this park is spectacular. With it being very close to the ocean, it really makes sitting there a very relaxing experience. It always feels like spring at this park. The playground is great for kids while the parents can enjoy the view of the lake and the nearby ocean."

"Something Different!! Perfect Family exercise!! You have 3 choices of water paddling boat of either a Yellow Duck, White Swan, and a regular boat. Each boat seats a Maximum of 4 people. The regular boat is alot easier to paddle and manuever compared to the bigger ones. The water is stagnant so I don't recommend anyone falling in. The water is frequented by birds and ducks. It is a walking distance from the Dennis the Menace Park and the Beach. You only pay around $60 to rent the boat and not as individual. So if you have one or four in your party, you pay the same. Floatation/Life Vest will be provided to all passengers. There is no engine or motor installed on the boat and everything else is Pedal Powered and turned using a rudder. It is a must have event to add to your Vacation."

"Very cute park with picnic tables, boat rentals, and a skate park. I'm not sure what usual rates are for renting paddle boats, but these seemed pretty overpriced. The cheapest option to rent for one half-hour is $23. It did not seem worth it to us, especially since it was about to rain."
