Ski Beach Park — Attraction in Big Bear Lake

Nice park area by the water. There is a small kiddie play structure and swings to the east, nearest the water, then a ride-on Zipline type play structure and disc swing at another play area across the parking lot in the middle, and on the other side of that towards the west on the other end of the park is tennis courts, a dog park, etc. My kids love the Zipline and disc swing.
