FELICITA COUNTY PARK REVIEWS
Beautiful Park with a year round stream tumbling down hill strewn with boulders and natural pools. Dog friendly, multiple playgrounds, picnic areas, restrooms, bridges, grassy fields, and wild flowers.
Really one of the great parks that San Diego County offers. Lots of space, picnic areas, parking, and all for only 3 bucks a visit. Though I will say some more shading can do some good. Overall a really great place to enjoy some quality time outside the house.
Beautiful park, clean facilities and friendly rangers. The ren fair is awesome here ! Look at Gallows Humour Killin it once again.

Kit Carson Park is a 285-acre municipal park in Escondido, California, United States. The park was named after Christopher (Kit) Carson, the renowned scout who instructed Captain John C. Frémont over the Sierra Nevada during a government exploration expedition. The park is in a valley that is approximately 5 miles west of where Kit Carson fought in the Battle of San Pasqual. A historical statue commemorating the battle is located on Mule Hill. A Sports Center was established in 1997, which includes a 20,000-square-foot skate park, a soccer arena, and an arena for inline hockey. The park has wooden ramps rather than concrete, which are found in typical skate parks. The park is being used as a command post and staging area during wildfires in the area.

KIT CARSON PARK REVIEWS
Absolutely beautiful park with a bunch of physical activities to partake in. I found Eagle Scout Lake to be especially awesome in that all projects within in this area was done by a scout earning their elevation to Eagle Scout.
Very large park, with many activities. Don't miss Queen Califa magical gardens (very limited hours, so check ahead). Great place for families , frisbee golf, hiking, and all around relaxing. This park is a gem.
Beautiful park! There are lakes that you can go to and feed the ducks. Nice trails and great outdoor. We came in to check Queen califia's magical circle. However, they are only open two days out of the week on Tuesday and Thursday. Lots of things to do for the family.
