On Saturday, June 8th, The City of San Diego Parks and Recreation Department, Latino Peace Officers Association, and STAR/PAL San Diego hosted Play Day at the Lake, a day filled with fun activities to enjoy with family and friends at Chollas Lake Park. The activities included a Fishing Derby, with prizes awarded later for the winners, live entertainment, reptile encounters, nature crafts, guided ranger hikes, and refreshments!
As a reservoir built in 1901, Chollas Lake helped serve early San Diego’s water supply. In 1966 it was turned over to the Parks & Recreation Department, and was designated a youth fishing lake (for children ages 15 and under only) in 1971.
Now, Chollas Lake Park hosts events integral to the community such as fishing clinics, adult walking classes, intro to archery, community recreation group meetings, and their very own Play Day at the Lake to bring kids in the community together!
