Sometimes it’s nice to go for a walk at the park.

As a reservoir built in 1901, Chollas Lake helped serve early San Diego's water supply. In 1966 it was turned over to the Park & Recreation Department, and was designated a youth fishing lake (for children ages 15 and under only) in 1971.

Just watch out for the rattle snakes on the hot days.

Its even a great place to feed the 🦆 🦆.

If you are ever in San Diego and need a place to exercise or be in the outdoors this is one of the many and it’s pretty central and easy to get to.
