There are many wonderful parks and recreation areas in the city of Encinitas. The city has a knack for getting the land to build them and a better talent for designing them.
The city has a list of them here. However, there are several that aren't listed.
I have been to most of the parks, so if you don't see one listed, be patient as I will get around to writing a review soon.
For each park, I give a rating for the playground, picnic facilities, view and the restrooms. The rating is on a scale of 0 - 5.
Here are lists of what I consider to the best parks for certains categories. Feel free to flame me if you think otherwise.
