El Estero Park - Monterey (CA)

4 /5 Carlos Mangrobang: Weve been going to this park since my kids were young specifically Dennis deMenace Park. However, weve never ever walked around or fish the lake. We recently got into fishing so chasing fish planting schedule was part of knowing where the fish are. Since El Estero Lake still received a trout plant in May, we decided to fish the lake to see what we can catch. As per this recent visit, I caught a couple of hatchery trout and my wife caught a handful of large bluegills. Parking was plentiful and lake looked clean. Pathways were clear but as any park with bird wildlife, droppings were a problem. Weather was nice and visitors seemed responsible about keeping their surroundings clean. In lieu of lake swimming, paddle boats were available for rental so visitors can enjoy the lake too. Theres a skateboard park too. Overall, El Estero is a nice park.

5 /5 Rajendran K: Wonderful park for children.Vast ground with many facilities.Not only children but adults also can spend and relax here.

5 /5 Joshua Piotrowski: This is an amazing park and a must go to.

5 /5 Samson O: Beautiful park, distinct for its size and amount of attractions. This is a peaceful corner of the state and this is the best public park. The playground is sprawling and well-designed. Can get crowded at times.
