We packed our backpack full of snacks, sprayed our sunscreen and hit the road to Balboa Park today. We love this park and frequent it often. Bike rides, runs, picnics, a couple birthday parties, you name it, we've done it all here.

| Seems there is always 1 bathroom out of order. And they are tiny! |
 |
| Beautiful grounds. We do photoshoots here all the time! |

| This ice-cream truck is ALWAYS here! |
Pros and Cons
Pros
Huge Park!
Lots of picnic and BBQ Areas
"Big kids" playground and "Little kids" playground
Close Bathrooms
Lots of parking
Extra activities like biking, fishing, walking, ect.
Cons
Bathrooms are small and kinda gross with outdoor hand washing stations
Really busy on weekends
A little shade here and there but 50% of playground is not shaded.
Parents Perspective
It's great! Lots of parking, it feels completely safe (unless you're walking with a small child next to the lake and fear they will fall in!). There is a sensory wall in between playgrounds for the little ones and shady trees.
Kid's Perspective
What's not to love? Tons of swings, ducks, planes flying overhead is a major plus.
