Marisol Park
About Marisol Park
Park Overview
Nestled along Rancho del Rey Parkway in a peaceful residential corner of Chula Vista, Marisol Park offers 5 acres of community green space that feels like a neighborhood oasis. This modest but well-maintained park provides a great backdrop for everything from family outings to solo fitness sessions.
Recreational Facilities
The park's sprawling grassy areas are ideal for spreading out a picnic blanket or tossing a frisbee around. If you're looking for something more structured, you'll find tennis courts, a basketball court, and a soccer field ready for action.
Kids can burn off energy at the playground, which, while showing some signs of age, remains well-maintained and engaging for the younger crowd. It's nothing fancy, but it definitely does the job for neighborhood families looking for outdoor playtime.
Walking Trails
If you're in the mood for a peaceful stroll or want to get your steps in, the walking paths at Marisol Park won't disappoint. They wind through both sunny open areas and shaded sections, giving you options whether you're seeking sunshine or shelter from the California heat.
Amenities
Planning a gathering? The park's five gazebos equipped with barbecue grills make Marisol a go-to spot for birthday parties and family reunions. You can try your luck with the first-come, first-served policy or play it safe and reserve one through the City of Chula Vista for your special event.
When nature calls, you'll find clean restroom facilities on-site, including handicap-accessible options. They're generally well-maintained - a simple but essential feature that makes longer visits much more comfortable.
Pet-Friendly Features
Your four-legged friends are welcome here too, as long as they stay leashed. What sets Marisol apart for pet owners is the thoughtful addition of a water fountain specifically for dogs - a small touch that's convenient for the whole family, furry members included.
Visitor Information
You'll come across street parking available along Rancho del Rey Parkway, but spaces can be limited during busy times. One thing to note: while the park officially closes at 10 PM, facilities like lights and restrooms often shut down earlier, sometimes around 8 PM. It's something to keep in mind if you're planning an evening visit.
