Calavera Hills Community Park -
One of the truly great resources we have in
our community is the Calavera Hills Community Park at 2997 Glasgow Drive,
just off Carlsbad Village Drive. It’s 16 acres and
includes 3 large multi-use playing fields, play areas for young children,
tennis courts and a community center with meeting rooms, a cooking kitchen
and a wood-floor basketball and volleyball gymnasium.
A variety of classes and activities are
held at the park year-round. Classes are typically held a more than
one of the community park locations – so if you miss one or if its full, you
may be able to sign up at another location.
To register with the City, just go to Calavera
Hills Community Center between 8am and 5pm and they’ll give you an online
Client ID and Family PIN (proof of residency in Carlsbad is needed –
property tax papers, utility bill, rental lease, imprinted address on a
check or a drivers license will suffice). Some classes, however, are not
included online and they are priority enrollment (which means you need to
get on the list early). The dance classes, gymnastics and preschool fall
into that category.

Youth sports leagues are also very popular,
with Adult Softball, Soccer and Basketball leagues coming in 2006. If you
ever want to reserve a softball field at Calavera Hills Community Park, you
need to do it well in advance of the date you would like. Several Leagues
from all over the city use the park and keep it active year-round. You can
also reserve a room for a meeting. Just call the park and the Recreation
Supervisor will help you out. They also manage the Laguna Riviera park near
the Kelly Elementary School on Park Drive.

And lastly don’t forget the Jazz in
the Park that comes to Calavera Hills Community Park each August.
The concerts have become a summer tradition in Carlsbad. Every
Friday evening from 6pm - 8pm. enthusiasts bring their picnic
baskets and chairs to enjoy a concert under the stars. It’s a great
evening out for the whole family and one of the best parts – it’s
free!
