Morley Field Sports Complex — Attraction in San Diego

The fact that this park is dated and old only adds to its charm. Its also very cruisy after hours and always has been. I believe it's the furthest eastern edge of the Baloa Park system and boasts a little bit of this and that to make everyone happy. Currently there is a tennis tournament going on at the tennis club and the Bud Kearnes swimming pool is under construction. There is a cool "nature exploration" area for kids just beyond the tennis courts as well as trail heads for runners, hikers, cruisy bears and the like. The edge of the velodrome is just beyond this point and can be seen from the back end of the tennis courts. There is an archery field that may or may not be open at this time. The disc golf course is one of the best in town and is the cruising gauntlet after hours you needed but didn't know you wanted. If you're lucky you'll find abandoned but still good bottles of poppers in the more "popular spots" in said gauntlet as the sun comes up. Or you can try your luck in the loo as there are 3 cruisy ones in the area. Did you make a mistake or two and now have kids turning 5 or 6 and no money for Disneyland? Camp put early on a Saturday or Sunday morning for the best picnic table birthday party and bring a rented jumpie... why not, everyone else...

Other people might not score Morley Field so high, but I alwsys will.

"Missouri"), and is also home to the first Municipal Pool in San Diego. It also hosts multiple Cross Country meets, as well as the "Footlocker National Championship" meet in early December. Also there is a Frisbee golf course, that has been there for decades, and was one of the first Frisbee golf courses in the country. Morley Field is the northeastern-most part of Balboa Park, a 1200-acre island in the middle of the city, which is home to the world-famous San Diego Zoo, as well as many and varied museums, and countless cultural and recreational activities, among which are weekly concerts (Sunday afternoons at 2:00 p.m.) on the 5000+ Spreckles Organ, the largest outdoor organ...

Love going here. been doing it for some time now. Just wish the mean haters would put their dogs on leashes. Don't go here if you want to keep kids safe from unleased dogs. The one I seen Saturday, was chasing a kid. The owner didn't even know. She was walking way ahead. No one near looked to be owner. Then she the owner said something. Told me to mind my own business . I pulled out my phone to get a photo. She said if I did take a photo. She would take it away from me. Well. We left. Signs all over saying dogs must be leased at all times. The dog park is up higher. There they run free. I told her. She kept moving . Looks like I will have to find a safer park. Maybe the place where homeless hang. Get more respect from homeless the the...
