Chollas Lake Park has been closed for a total of four weeks this year. It offers something not so common in southeast San Diego — accessible greenspace.
After his father died five years ago, Ellsworth Hicks Jr. needed an outlet. He found it at Chollas Lake Park in his Southeast San Diego neighborhood.
They come a few times each week to the park situated near the community of Oak Park. He likes to sit by the little free library and look out over the duck-covered lake. He likes that it lets him meet people.But lately, when he cruises by with his mother, they’re often met with closed gates. Lyon said that’s because the wet ground lingers long after the rain stops, and it’s a safety concern. Emergency vehicles can’t access the more hazardous areas of the park, he said. The saturated ground can also cause eucalyptus trees to fall. The trails aren’t safe for walking.
