About the Location

A Green Oasis in Chula Vista

Nestled along Otay Lakes Road, Salt Creek Park spans an impressive 24 acres of community green space where locals and visitors alike come to play, relax, and connect. This expansive park represents the neighborhood's outdoor living room - a clean, peaceful retreat from the bustle of everyday life.

For the Sports Enthusiasts

If you're looking to break a sweat, Salt Creek offers several options. The park features two full-size grass soccer fields where weekend warriors and organized leagues play under the California sun.

Hoop dreams come alive on the park's multiple basketball courts, including recently renovated indoor and outdoor options excellent for pickup games or improving your jump shot. Tennis lovers haven't been forgotten either, with dedicated tennis courts available for those craving some racquet action.

Something for Everyone

Skateboarders flock to the park's modern skate park, where concrete features challenge riders of all abilities. Families with young children will appreciate the two playground areas, including an accessible playground for children with disabilities - because everyone deserves a chance to play.

At the center of all this activity stands a 20,000-square-foot recreation center used for community activities. Inside, you'll find a rentable hall complete with a kitchen for food prep, tables and chairs for events, and separate restrooms. Step out onto the large back deck for some truly Instagram-worthy views of the surrounding landscape.

Relaxation Stations

Not in the mood for sports? The park offers plenty of low-key options too. Several picnic areas come equipped with barbecue grills, and covered pavilions provide welcome shade for family get-togethers or casual lunches with friends. Two sets of restrooms ensure you won't have to trek across the entire park when nature calls.

The walking trails and cement paths that meander through the grounds make for pleasant strolls or more determined fitness walks. The park's unique hilly terrain has become a favorite with bikers, while the dedicated track attracts joggers and walkers looking to log some miles.

Thoughtful Design

Salt Creek Park features an interesting two-level layout with distinct areas at the top and bottom, connected by various pathways. The facilities are wheelchair accessible, and there's parking for 30-40 vehicles or more.

What makes this park special is its thoughtful balance of high-energy zones and quieter, contemplative spaces. The generous open grassy areas accommodate everything from frisbee games to picnics - and yes, they're well-suited for letting your four-legged friends stretch their legs too.
