Ive been here many times NOT to protest either but to take in Gods wonderful scenery, theres hills, trees, green grass, water, blue skies and beautiful sunsets to just name a few; some animals too like fish, turtles and ducks. I used to bring a small electric boat and chase them all but now I bring my puppy Sage. Theres also a very nice memorial dedicated to those that have served over the years with several personal letters they wrote their loved ones on display for us to reflect on.

Temecula Duck Pond is very nice just like everythinging else in Temecula. Not surprised. There is a nice walkway that goes around the pond. We took a three and four year old and they just had a ball running around in the grass. Just be careful with little ones by the pond. There is no railing or anything to guard little ones from falling into the pond. Heavily supervise. And I just dont like that it is on the corner of a busy street but still very nice.

This place is very adorable and makes for a good little stroll. It is really important for inland dry cities to have these little water areas with nature! There are so many ducks too!

Nice man made duck pond. However, its right next to a really busy main street so its noisy and a bit smelly (car exhaust). Kinda neat historical memorial there as well, if you pay close attention.

Loved this. Not supposed to feed the ducks though. We went during the day over 90 degrees, plenty of shade to keep cool. Nice hillside for picnics or theres a restaurant on top the hill that overlooks the entire pond.

Nice relaxing area. Not sure I would call it a park but I didn’t see much. There’s a pond right off the Main Street with ducks but other reviews led me to believe there is fishing here. It’s clean and not a place you would want to fish because it’s so clean and just doesn’t look like a fishing spot. Nice for a picnic

Beautiful quaint park. Theres a fence around the Duck Pond to protect the animals from us humans. I attended a Women Veterans One Voice Rally.

Beautiful and serene. I was a little afraid the ducks and birds would be aggressive but they werent. There is a really emotion provoking memorial there for fallen heroes I think everyone should see at least one time. I love this place. A breath of fresh air.

The Duck Pond is a nice place to take a nice evening stroll perhaps with your family so that everyone can enjoy feeding the ducks in the cool evening breeze that Temecula always has.

Like stepping into another dimension. An oasis of quiet against the pushy noise of the city.

Review №34

Pretty cool place to stop if you are a local. You can let your dog run around in the grass and burn off some energy. The duck pond is right next-door so the kids can feed them food. Just a tip. It’s better for the decks if you go buy them actual duck food and bring it instead of feeding them old bread. Not the best for them.Great place to have a picnic with the family or even take your lunch break. It typically dress it up a little bit around the holidays to make it fun.

Review №46

Peaceful place... we go to see the ducks or to just walk around the water. Other days we take a blanket and sit on the grass or the stairs & have lunch. They even have a few trails to go for a little hike. They have a bathroom available which I always appreciate with a young child. I refuse to let my children use a portapottie.. so although the bathroom at the park is not the cleanest it is very appreciated by us... (we just bring our own soap)

Nice space in the middle of a couple of busy roads. There is plenty of parking available and the walk around the pond is nice for a stroll with your kids.One thing that I especially liked about this park is the tribute to American Veterans. There is a corner of the park completely devoted to them and they have a few letters written by them you can sit and read. They gave me a renewed appreciation for those who gave their all for our country.

This is a great place to go with younger children to be able to see the ducks. There werent many there when I stopped by, but I have seen it filled with ducks before. There is a restaurant at the top of the hill if you are interested in food and beverage. Last I heard it is closed until the early fall for a remodel. There are bathroom facilities at this location and a small parking lot. There are also steps down to the pond from the parking area.

Its a pond. With ducks. It has a cute little walking path that is pretty flat and easy to get around. There were a ton of ducks and a few turtles. We spotted a giant koi beneath the surface of the water. Overall it was a nice place to spend a little bit of time in.

Nice to place you walk around the pond or have a picnic but watch out for the ducks! They really could use some key there to clean up the pond and after the ducks. Nice memorials and grounds.

Great park, used to go here and feed the ducks every Saturday morning, but feeding the animals or fishing has been banned, unfortunately. Very well designed and maintained. The only people you’ll see here are old couples or PokémonGo fanatics.

Review №92

This place is so peaceful. It has a nice hill where you can set out a blanket and relax. In fact Ive seen several adults doing this. Which isnt common at other parks. The pond actually attracts the kids more. People feed the ducks bread, though they should probably feed them something healthier. It is a great place to spend an hour with the kids. And if you are without the kiddos its a great place to relax. YES there are bathrooms. Last time I went to the bathroom there it was nasty though. Hopefully thats not commonplace. There is a gazebo and some tables if you want to eat your lunch.

Review №93

Love to chase the ducks here. Always a great time. Nice place to walk your dog too. Also, a grassy hill to run up and then roll down like a small child. Some benches, a gazebo and clean restrooms too. I love this place, and my poochy dog does too.

Smells funny from the sewer lines. I saw a dead duck in the pond. It may not be kept well.

I fell in the pond one time when I was in third grade (Im 26 now), which kinda sucked - not gonna lie.Had I rated it then, my score might not of been so good.However, as an adult thats continued to come to this park from time to time over the last decade and a half, Im just gunna say this park is awesome! Its beautiful and always getting modern upgrades.

Beautiful place to go for a walk. They should really clean the pond regularly though. Trash tends to collect in the upper right end of the pond. I remember seeing dead animals collecting there a couple times... pretty gross.

Other than being close to a main road, it is very well done and the cars fade into the background. Has a Japanese feel to it as far as landscape. Includes a concrete path around the pond. I saw a guy fishing so good chance its bass. Has a park with bathrooms attached. Relaxing little spot inside the city.
