This gathering area – with its 270-degree view – is the perfect spot for a small wedding, family reunion, birthday party or just watching the sunset. (available for rent for special events). Located in central Carlsbad near the intersection of Poinsettia Lane and Ambrosia Lane, this 24-acre park is home to a variety of sports activities for all ages, including basketball, soccer and softball. Aviara Park was one of the first parks in Carlsbad to utilize synthetic turf fields. The park is ideal for hosting family or company picnics and community gatherings.

The city recently completed the improvements identified in the master plan update for this park. The improvements are the result of community input and designed to promote a healthy lifestyle for residents of all ages and abilities.
