Rancho Mission Canyon

San Diego Family Adventures

This is a great park with a new-ish playground, large grass field and multiple hiking trails. There is a lower parking lot and upper street parking. Only downfalls here are there are no restrooms and it can get pretty busy at peek times!

The playground is interesting for little kids and offers a lot for them to interact with. It's up a hill so it might be harder for the younger ones but overall a nice park with a field as well.

Modern play equipment; ~2 years old as of this posting. It's at the top of a hill, but has a nice view of the nearby canyon. There are a few covered picnic shelters near the structure. There's equipment for children as well as toddlers (2+). There are hiking trails near the parking lot as well as next to the playground. They go into and around the canyon. Study the map as the trail may loop, but only if you follow the correct form in the path.

Really nice playground for little kids (and it looks brand-new). You can also take a long hike in several sides of the Canyon. In some parts, a nice stream where you can enjoy the relaxing water sounds. A ton of people with dogs on leashes. Otherwise, very quiet park, ideal for an invigorating hike.
