Great park with playground and ball field. The lake is stocked with fish during spring and summer (drained in winter). You can walk there from the cabin by going to the end of Donner Lane and going cross country through the boulder field.

If you have kids (7 and under) that like climbing on rocks instead of playgrounds, there's no shortage or safe climbing at this park. At the edge of Big Bear Lake, there are kayak rentals a short walk away.
