Hidden Canyon Park — Attraction in Carlsbad

I’ve had multiple people tell me how amazing Hidden Canyon Community Park is. When we finally went exploring over here, it did not disappoint! I’d highly recommend it.

Big highlight from today’s park adventure: the groundskeepers were manicuring the grass with a tractor and at one point every little boy there was gathered around the edge of the lawn mesmerized by the big machinery. 🚜😆

✅Far from busy roads which is ideal for saftey ✅2 separate playgrounds on rubber surfaces ✅Standard swings and bucket swings ✅Shade ✅Concrete picnic tables ✅Large lawn areas perfect for laying out your picnic blanket ✅Concrete benches around the sidewalks ✅Concrete pathway surrounding the park which is great for scooter and bike rides, jogging, and roller blading ✅Restrooms ✅Dirt trail that leads to an enclosed dog park (Ann D. L'Heureux Memorial Dog Park) 🌟Clean and well maintained grounds. They even had city workers sanitizing the surfaces while we were there. ❕The parking lot has limited spaces so you might have to park on the streets of the surrounding neighborhood...

We took the great grandson there for the first time. He had never been to a park or gone on a slide ,he's going on 3. He had a wonderful time, but was a bit overwhelmed. The day we went it was very crowded. But all the chidren were well-behaved, it seemed there were several parties going on.

Great exercise for the tykes as they crawl and wiggle through various tunnels and wing til their heart's content.

Good restroom facilities, bycycle rack and a small parking lot . Nice sidewalk area for skateboarding and rollerblading. Also sizeable grass area for playing ball and a few barbeque stations. There is a trail we which leads up to a dog park. No dogs allowed in the...

I love this park. It's a great area. Lots of shade, the play ground's are covered up so no one gets sunburned while having fun. They have an area for young children and a separate area for the older kids. Which is nice.☺ the ground is some kind of squishy mat stuff, i honestly forgot the name just now😅, so no sand or any of that horrible mulch. It has swings, tons of grass space to kind of lay a blanket (maybe a picnic basket) and relax. There's small trails that go around the area so kids with bikes and scooters can ride around. There's a dog park a few feet away...Only bummer part about the park is the parking lot...
