Momo Zhang: ★★★★★

This Ocean Air Community Park and Recreation Center is truly fantastic. Every week, they arrange different indoor activities, and all facilities are free to use—including badminton, pickleball, basketball, taekwondo, and more. There's also an outdoor play area for kids and a large park. If you love sports, you definitely shouldn’t miss this place!

Shayne C.: ★★★★★

BEAUTIFUL !!! I've had two FRUITLUCKS here and it is my go to spot for a get-together with my friends and fams ! Location/features (close to home): -Hidden gem in the neighborhoods of Torrey Hills - one of the nicest parks I've been to ! -Free and plenty of parking ! Score ! -Plenty of benches, tables, barbecues, and gazebos ! We always get lucky with a gazebo ! -You can even have a picnic on the grass since there is a large amount of space. -Everything is well-kept and maintained ! The lawn is well-manicured and green ! The best I've seen from a park. -Restrooms are spacious and plentiful in the nearby recreation center. Kudos ! -BEST OF ALL - It's so peaceful and quiet here, which I love ! It never seems to get overly crowded either. Its like my own private park, but not really LOL -Playground is available for the kiddos and they even have sporting events at the rec center (i.e. tennis, basketball, etc.) Highly recommend this park for small or large groups ! Heck I'd go solo too ! Can't wait for more future events here !

Craig Bellavance: ★★★★★

Recreation center, playground, picnic areas, ball fields/courts have something for everyone. I used the property as an access point to the Carmel Mountain Preserve's hiking/biking trails. There are no restrooms or trash receptacles on the trails so please use the facilities available at the recreation center before and after your time on the trails.

Cody Hutcherson: ★★★★★

Fantastic community park. This facility has a full size gymnasium for basketball and other sports activities, meeting rooms, kitchen and well maintained restrooms. The staff is very nice, and always willing to assist with questions. The large green park has multiple charcoal grill areas and picnic benches. Our kids love to come here and ride bikes, swing and play on the play sets. Great for hosting birthdays or gatherings.

Akiko Morgan: ★★★★

Very new and clean playground with plenty of shade both at the playground and in the grass area. The public bathroom is inside the rec center. The parking lot is large, but you may have issues at peak times like Saturdays during soccer season, since it's pretty much in and out...if you don't find a spot, you have to drive to the end of the lot, turn around and come back.

Nice path nestled in the Carmel country highlands community. Had nice gym, hiking trails and a grassy area where I was able to walk my dog.

Get your workout playing racket ball. On Saturday morning.

Barbara Metz: ★★★★

Great hiking. The views of Torrey Pines and the vernal pools during the springtime are especially wonderful.

Manuel Ojeda: ★★★★★

Beautiful area. Incredible views. On a clear afternoon you can see the beach. Tennis baseball softball, soccer, basketball, and so many other things make that place killer.

Ryan E: ★★★

My family comes here weekly to use the outdoor basketball courts and adjacent field. The field is rough and needs some maintenance as many others have mentioned. It looks like they are upgrading some areas on the other side of the gym as they have some fencing up for many weeks. Let's hope they work on the field next.

Ali: ★★★

Nice set up, but the grass is very uneven with holes, worried that the players may get injured

J Zhang ★★★

Negative Reviews:

John B.: ★

Only the Pickleball elite are aloud to play here. The patrons treat the facility as if it were a private club instead of a public rec. center. A very stuck up crowd best to avoid if your looking for a friendly Pickleball game.

Craig L.: ★

Came for open gym family time...nope. once again rented out since 2pm. Barely any family time/gym time and you rent it out....a community recreation center or company trying to make $ ???
