This park is truly hidden! It is in odd spot on "Jog Road"--not to be confused with the main North/South artery in south county--it is a road that twists and turns in a roundabout into an East/West road. Great little park to hold a little one's birthday party because there are pavillions and a nice playground. It's actually in the entrance to the MIRASOL housing development on PGA Blvd.

Years ago this land used to belong to a beautiful fruit orchard. They had wonderful little tram tours of the land and a farmer's market. Development came and in it's place, a housing development. Part of the new development agreement was to have this public neighborhood park at the entrance, right on Lawrence road just north of Gateway blvd. Constructed by D.R. Horton as part of the Knollwood Development, the park provides a passive park with a pond plus littoral zone plantings to attract wildlife and various environmental interpretative features. There's a gazebo and a little trail.
