What a lovely area of Poway! If, for some reason I could no longer live in Oceanside, Poway would definitely be my next choice! The park is quaint but very nice, includes public restrooms and picnic tables, biking and walking trails with restaurants nearby. Children-friendly place.

A great place to explore. Kinda wish they had slides or gym for the kiddos but still a fun place to visit. Make sure you check out the farmers market on saturdays for train rides and good eats. They also have a small stream.

It was real nice. The city of Poway finally opened the play ground. Myself, I love the part of they park where the train is. Itd beautiful, probley the best place for taking photos. So many seniors go there to take their senior photos. Wedding photos. The tress, all three green grass truly one of the most relaxing placed sitting in the shade on a Sunny day sitting in the shade so relaxing and beautiful. Ive lived in Poway since I was 12 I am now 61 I love it here a small community. It its a little city in the country. I love it heart a beautiful place to raise children.

Poway park is a gem in our region. It is small but beautiful and nicely taken care of. It is great for kids to run around and feels very safe. I like how it isnt flat, but sloped and natural around the few old historical buildings. There is a nice playground, closed now because of COVID. But there is a snake of painted rocks to add to, a free book library, and trains. Sure, there is a very cool fourth of July thing. And the train ride can be great fun for the kids. But, just meeting someone under a shaded tree is nice. There arent a ton of picnic tables or a ton of space, fyi.

Beautiful park. There’s farmer’s market in weekend!

A great place for a family picnic or photoshoot. We love the huge grass area, large trees and of course, the trains!

Always a fun place to visit especially if you like nature, I enjoy going here and walking around and in general enjoying the view and beautiful area around the park, I also like looking at the buildings and the others random things thrown around, I enjoy going here and personally recommend it to anyone who may happen to be in the area!

Beautiful and quite park. Nice place for us seniors to walk and relax. There are a lot of big trees and perfect shade to enjoy nice breeze. Me and my husband took our own chairs yesterday. It was a perfect day. It was not very hot and breeze was really pleasant. I saw a few people having dinner and different benches. People were very careful and had proper distance.

We love it here! Great spot for kids to ride their scooters and reconnect with nature in the city.

Love this park. Lots of trees and plenty of room to relax. Train on the weekend is fun for the whole family. Ive been coming here since it first opened in the 90s.

What a lovely park with trees all over even on hot days you can find plenty of shade but not necessarily a lot of reprieve from the heat. There are wonderful places to take pictures or have a picnic or just enjoy nature.

Great for picnics! These days that we should stay outdoors, this is perfect to go to. Get your lunch and have a picnic here. Lots of big trees that give great shadow.

Awesome place to take your dog or have a picnic or BBQ. Learn and see the history of Poway !!!

Peaceful ... friendly people ... beautiful place to have a quick picnic

Fun for a picnic or to just play in the grass or the creek with the kids. Aubrey park is right across the street too.

Beautiful park, plenty of room and shade. Great park for a picnic.

Loved it. Old Poway is way better than the New Poway a d the regular Poway. Far and away better than Poway, hey!

Actually went for the reopening of the Hamburger Factory. The food was great as usual; but there is no indoor dining (yet). They have picnic tables set up outside, so there is plenty of seating. They have replaced their regular menus with scannable signs, for safety.

Walk my dog in the morning. Safe place.

Clean and extensive family park with a working antique steam engine running on its own little railroad. It is not running as of late June 2020 due to covid-19.The Farmers Market alone is worth the trip. It is a fine place to explore.

Wonderful place to take the kids. Love the train rides and festivals. Very nice country atmosphere. The farmers market has lots of good vendors on Saturdays.

The train to nowhere. Kinda catchy when you realize. The structure is maintained and efficiently ran.

I have been visiting Old Poway Park enough to experience all the seasons. It has a working train you can ride and the kids will enjoy. The Nelson House will give you a glimpse into Poway at the turn of the century. The Poway museum gives the history and its growth from a rural farm community to a wonderful City in the Country. Good eats can be found at The Hamburger Factory. And Saturday they host a great Farmers market. Come enjoy a tree filled park.

Awesome park for the kids, train to ride, Saturday farmers market with tons of produce, meat, and a variety of other foods. Beautiful area to walk around. Vary safe and community centric atmosphere. I see a few pub/beer places opening soon. Looks like a great place to live for a family or couple that enjoys the smaller town environment with big town conveniences. I will definitely return soon.

One of my favorite places to have a shoot.

Farmers market on Saturdays is great. Lots of yummy food options, flowers, fruit and vegetables, drinks and treats

Awesome place to come on Saturday morning for the farmers market! The grilled cheese by far my favorite. Great day to spend at old Poway park. Also helpful hint then park here you are able to have alcohol yes that is correct you are able to drink at the park, but there is no Glass or hard liquor strictly canned alcohol beverages.

Lovely sitting in the pepper trees shade with a slight cooling breeze, surrounded by masked friends

Great place for a Sunday-Fun-day. Great place for family pictures, engagement shoots, or the like. Nice spaces to rent out for events and parties. All kinds of community festivities for holidays and such all year long. Overall, one of San Digeos best parks.

Beautiful park with a really cool train!

Great farmers market. Great food the eggs Benedict breakfast plate was amazing

Gorgeous. Peaceful. Everyone goes there to take pictures

Love it...Very peaceful

Beautiful day today where it is not too hot and just right for a picnic or even a trip to get lunch from The Hamburger Factory.

My grand daughters and I enjoyed a picnic at the park today.

We enjoy going to the farmers market. Lots of things to choose from and samples galore. Farm fresh produce of course. Nice area and plenty to see.

Great place for fishing, evening stroll, cycling. Its clean and beautiful

Great place for dogs to play or just lay around in a different place.

Always great.Everyone wearing mask. Great produce

What a beautiful place to spend the day! Here for the Southern California Community Band Festival.

I love the farmers market on Saturdays. The place becomes alive with the many families riding the little train and the causal buyers strolling around the stands. There are lots of options to eat, though prices add up rather quickly.

Nice place for an evening walk and in spring.and summer to hear the frogs.

This is a great park! There was a wedding going on, which was beautiful, and tons of families doing family portraits. There was a park ranger as well with his K9. The trains are cool to check out as well. Highly recommend.

Always a great place to have a picnic with the family and friends

Cool place with lots of trees and areas to walk or run, hopefully next time the trains are running!

Great park, lots of shade, full of fun.

We went to Old Poway Park for a Halloween celebration and it was very fun! Our favorite activities were the train and the dancing, including a Thriller zombie dance. Lots of good food was for sale.

This is a great park for family. It is perfect for taking high quality pictures with great backgrounds and there is a train to ride on the weekends!!

A great family night spent with Lightbridge Hospice in memory of all those looking down upon us from heaven

This place is super clean, cute and a great place for picture taking

Love this distraction! Train to ride, sites to see, shops to browse, and food to eat. All within a 10 minute walk! Highly reccomend. Will be back.

The farmer market was right next to the Park, very convenient, every Saturday.

A historic place area of old San Diego hidden in Poway. a well known Cowboy area still preserve until today. free for all. country in the city.

Very nice. It remind of an old western

Lots of open space and share. Parking across street.

Small park with a steam engine train. Popular place for birthday parties, graduation and wedding photos, small hall rental and summer music in the park. Lovely turn of the century home, local history museum, and a gazebo. Rattlesnake Creek runs through the center providing plenty to explore, especially tadpoles in the Springtime. Saturday farmers market and artisan booths are packed with vendors as well as shoppers. Plenty of parking. A few eateries, small shops and a convenient store complete the mix.

Great place for families with access to parking, shade, and restrooms. Come early if you want a picnic spot or just spread a blanket anywhere.

Nice place to cruise around, visit the artwork vendors and the museums and ride the train! Fun when they have events but parking is horrible.

First time there, was very nice and clean

Good place on weekends family fun especially ever Saturday there will be a farmers market and small train ride.

Love this farmers market. The prices are great, food fantastic...especially the tri-tip sandwich! Yum! Just sad that the original man that sold honey is gone and replaced by someone else whom wasnt friendly or offered my sister a deal of $1.00 off the next purchase when returning the empty honey bottle. And she bought the biggest size honey jar from him. There is a guy that sells honey with his produce and that avocado honey is so good!

Absolutely love the Saturday farmers market. So much amazing good, local produce and fruit (much of which is organic), free range eggs, fresh fish and lots to see. Lovely live music, free parking, a train for kiddos to ride, and lots to learn about and explore. Lots of history, shaded benches, fountains and old town charm.

What a lovely place. The Hamburger Factory was a great place to eat, good food and great service. Theres a train on the weekends for kids. Fun place to take kids.

Very nice, has a little stream and theres lots of play area

On Saturday they have a very nice farmers market and its a very nice old park.

I love the farmers market here on Saturdays. Such a cute and fun event in an old town setting. They even have a real train cart you can ride! Plenty of outdoor park bench and picnic table seating,and 4 restrooms.I enjoy the variety of vendors available with vegan options. The coffee from the cart with peace signs is absolutely delicious to the last drop! Mocha with coconut milk and coconut whipped cream and avocado toast is my breakfast every time!

I only go on saturdays to use the farmers market and the train. The parking is great.

Poway Farmers Market. Good food, get there early as parking is hard to find.

I luv are...little..old Poway park

Great train ride and weekly Saturday farmers market

We go to the farmers markets every Saturday. So fun

This is a great place to walk around. I recommend the Nelson house and the old Poway Park Museum both which are free. Theres also farmers market every Saturday morning and lots of family events for holidays like Christmas & Halloween

Very beautiful park and nice train. 10/10 would go in train or shine

Lovely place!

Awesome train for young kids.

Old train station atmosphere. Small country park feeling. Just great fun.

Great place to take the family. Great outdoors venue to stroll around, have a picnic, take an old steam engine train ride or have a nice meal at the Hamburger Factory.

Super quiet on a winter holiday (1/1/2020).

So many litte things to see. On Saturdays they have a farmers market. We took our dog to walk around the park. Its nicely shaded

We held our daughters 1st birthday here. Excellent place to sprawl out in the shade. Our guests brought lawn chairs but it looked like you can rent tables and chairs from the park. The park has many great scenes for photos.

Adorable park with a little train and Depot. Check the schedule before you go. Sometimes only runs on weekends mornings. Beautiful wooded setting for pictures, events, picnics. No playground equipment

Clean, well maintained, great train rides, wonderful farmers markets.

Great place to ride the train in weekends. Have a picnic on the grass. Or go across the road to play on the playground.

Takes you back to childhood when our very own birthday parties wore celebrated there. Theyve kept it very beautifully taken care of.

Out little town of Poway has some of the best parks and this is one of them. Great gazebo for weddings, Templer Hall for small get togethers, and the wonderful grass and trees. Walk through her daily always see a new flower, butterfly or bug. Love it

The farmers market here on Saturdays from 8 until 1 is an absolute treat. Tons of variety with food and tons of variety with Farm Fresh Veggies Meats and other products. Absolutely worth it. If you have not been, it is a must attend function. I highly recommend for smoothies, sandwiches, bowls, and anything else you might have ever considered eating. Make some time and walk around and you will be pleasantly surprised.

I loved this place! Clean bathrooms, Great neighborhood and a lot of friendly people. The park was clean and offered tons of history. Definitely a must see!

Good place for the family

Nice place to go around

Always a great time at the Park! The train is always a blast!

Love coming to this park and watching softball or just hanging out to have lunch. Its a part of Poway that I really love.

So much fun! Beautiful morning spent. Visited on a saturday so there was a farmers market we got to go to and took the train ride. Everything had a charm.

Food is good locallt grown veggies are great

Awesome park- this is where the main hub of Poway events is so if you are in the area around Christmas or 4th of July, you will want to check out the park.The vendors at events are always so friendly, whether its food, hand-made goods, printed photos, everyone is very kind and friendly and the entire park is large enough to house everyone while only taking less than 5 minutes to walk across in a crowd.If the museums are open and the train is running, youll want to give them a try as well.

Wonderful park all around for everyone in the family, especially on Saturday for the street market

Great picnic areas, active train with rides on the weekend. Incredible Farmers Market Saturday mornings.

Excellent hamburger!

My husband and I took our just-3 year old grandson to the Christmas events in the park. I cant rave enough about it. Weve gone to other events there that we have enjoyed, but this was simply the best! We arrived at 2:30 to ensure a train ride. The Train and Trolley are always the first place he wants to go. The petting zoo was fun, even more fun when we saw a goat head but a toddler in the tummy. Didnt hurt her, just startled her as she lay on her back! We enjoyed watching all the connecting of the trolley to the train, and other preparations. The volunteers are all friendly and patient in answering questions, and teaching. naturally, we ate their, I had Phillipino, my always favorite, and my husband Mexican. Little guy shared with me. He enjoyed the crafts and story time areas, and I particularly appreciated all the youth participating. Sets a great example for the kids. The carolers and dancers on the stage are a favorite of mine, but not so interesting for the little guy so we moved on. We left at 5 as everyone was pooped, but could have spend hours more! Great, great job!

Its a nice park.

It’s all a kid the loves trains could ask for!
