San Diego County Parks and Recreation officials Wednesday celebrated the completion of two major improvement projects at Felicita County Park in Escondido.
The county added horseshoe pits, artificial turf and shade sails over the play equipment. A second improvement project improved safety and accessibility in the parking lots and bandstand area.
“County parks are for everyone,” Supervisor Dave Roberts said. “The work we have completed on the playground, ball fields and horseshoe pits will improve the park experience for any visitor, and perhaps most importantly, for park visitors who are disabled.”
The 53-acre park features mature oak trees and spring-fed creeks. The site is listed on the National Register of Historic Places because the Kumeyaay people once used the area as a resting point between gathering shellfish from the ocean and hunting for game in the mountains.
