San Carlos Recreation Center — Local services in San Diego

RE: Gage Elementary Field managed by SCP&R. Renting out the field is okay, but renting it out to sports teams for after school hours until 8pm is not acceptable, nor is it fair to the community residents that PAY TAXES to use this park after school hours. These sports teams should only be allowed to play until 7pm, so we get at least one hour to use the field ourselves. Those who rent the park like these sports teams should be required to pick up their trash off the field prior to leaving each day AND bring their own trash receptacles AND TAKE THEM WHEN THEY LEAVE EACH DAY! Every Saturday these teams and their guests NOT ONLY overflow both trash cans, they litter the field with plastic bottles, BEER cans, and trash! This past Saturday on 08/16/25, I asked them to pick up their garbage as they were all leaving and they just kept on leaving. Not one adult that was in charge did anything! It is now Friday the 22nd and the trash cans have not been emptied by P&R and the players keep leaving their trash every afternoon they use the field. I was under the impression that drinking alcoholic beverages in public parks was illegal, yet last weekends Soccer fans not only were drinking as spectators, they left all their empty cans in a box meant for their trash (I assume) on the field. A 90% empty trash box except for the beer cans while they overflowed OUR COMMUNITY and the ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS TRASH CANS.

So all week, my daughter has had to go to school and be on that field with the trash cans overflowing onto the ground with feces bags, bottles and beer cans.

GOOD JOB, SAN CARLOS P&R, Way to do your jobs and look at for the community members whose tax dollars pay your wages!

We demand USE OF OUR PARK after school hours! We already pay for this use in our property and local taxes. What do the out-of-towners pay to trash it...

A proper park meaning it checks all the boxes of what I consider is needed to be a park. 1 restrooms 2 tables 3 trees 4 multiple areas 5 stuff to do and it checks these boxes very nice. Now that we established it's a park and not just a piece of land, it is a very well kept Park has real restrooms not like those jailhouse style ones and then there's a porta potty down by the baseball place so you don't have to walk all the way up in case you aren't on that side of the park it is also kept very clean as well everybody seems real nice and there's never...

Awesome community rec center and park. My daughter has played volleyball here in clinics and leagues, and has had great instruction from coach Mary Beth and met some nice kids. The price is right and it’s welcoming and non-intimidating with the opportunity to really get good at your skill. A lot of other nice features and classes offered at this facility too - looking forward to...
