Aquatic Park Update: The Eastview Aquatic Park will be closed beginning Nov 1, 2011 for the season.  The Park will reopen May, 2012. (updated 11/11)

Project Update: The County of San Diego Department of Parks and Recreation  has scheduled the installation of a grid photovoltaic system at Sweetwater Regional Park that will offset a portion of the overall park facilities electrical use. This  project is consistent with the County  goal of converting facilities to be energy efficient and self sustaining. 

The project will consist installing 826 solar panels that will be located along the existing road leading to the Park Community Building.  A gravel maintenance access will be connecting the road with a 6 ft. green perimeter fence. Shrubs all around the fence perimeter are planned to be used as a landscape buffer.  The projected start of construction will begin March, 2012 with a projected completion in September, 2012.


Directions: From Interstate 805 South exit Bonita Rd (Exit 7C). Head east to San Miguel Road. Continue approximately 2 miles and turn left on Summit Meadow Road.

Description:
Visitors to this 500-acre regional park have quite a palette of activities to choose from. The Summit Site, atop a hill overlooking the Sweetwater Valley, offers modern campsites – including some with corrals for equestrians who want to bring their horses and explore the miles of trails in the area. Below the summit are hundreds of acres of streamside vegetation, grassland, and open areas that provide a variety of habitats for hikers, horseback riders, and mountain bikers. Campers, trailers, motor homes, and tent camping are all options at the sites, all of which have water and electricity. Trailers as long as 45 feet will find plenty of room here. Hot showers are available for all campers. One of the major attractions at the park is the pavilion. This covered structure and its kitchen facilities are especially suited for group campers. An adjacent local park features a lawn area, tot lot, splash park and shaded picnic tables with panoramic views of the countryside. Learn More about Sweetwater Regional Park.
