HISTORY of the Center
As a reservoir built in 1901, Chollas Lake helped serve early San Diego's water supply. In 1966 it was turned over to the Park and Recreation Department, and was designated a youth fishing lake (for children ages 15 and under only) in 1971.
As of today, Chollas Lake features a 16 acre lake for free youth fishing with an amazing 8/10's-of-a-mile trail around the lake for walking, jogging, and bicycling. For your convinence, picnics tables are placed near the lake with barbecue grills.
Also, includes children's play equipment, a small basketball court, hiking trails, and a multipurpose ball field in North Chollas Canyon for everyone.
