This park quickly became a favorite for us because it has so much to offer! Adventure Park in Poway has a nice tot lot with a couple of smaller slides and baby swings. The playground for older children has a play structure with wheelchair access, a couple of slides, some monkey bars, a balance beam and climbing walls. There are also four regular swings.
It would be a great place for a barbecue event, with a reserve-able gazebo (picnic area 4) with six covered picnic tables and one uncovered picnic table, and a large deluxe barbecue. There are several older picnic tables that are shaded by trees that are not available to rent. There’s an additional covered table on the other side of the play area (not available to reserve).

Playgrounds
There are two playgrounds: one for ages 2-5 and one for ages 5-12 and both are beautifully shaded. The tot lot has a cute structure with a couple of slides and some baby swings. There’s also a cooling mister there, which I imagine is really nice on hot days (the weather was perfect when we were there).
The playground for older children is accessible by a wheelchair and packed with fun stuff: slides, a couple of climbing walls, bridges, a balance beam, and a spinner. There’s also a stand-alone spinner and four swings.
There are also lots of big boulders that my daughter loved to climb!
Great for Events
The gazebo available for rent near the Adventure Park at Poway Community Center is really nice! It has SIX large tables under the gazebo and one next to the deluxe barbecue. The process for reserving this area is described here and the fees to use it are outlined here (it’s much less expensive to reserve if you are a Poway resident). The only drawback is that the restrooms are so far away. If you’re doing a BBQ, I’d suggest bringing wet wipes! (affiliate link)
Bocce Ball Court
There is a Bocce Court at this park (you can see it beyond the cooling mister in the pic above). They’re available for open play by the public daily, except during reserved use. To reserve the bocce courts, call 858-668-4596.
