Shady Rest Park - Mammoth Lakes (CA)

5 /5 Oana Gusatu: Great nature park inside an old established pine forest. In the middle there are several sports grounds, very clean facilities, many picnic tables both covered and uncovered, a nice playground and a skate park. Lots of trails to explore and well connected to the main road via a 1/2 long path. Dog and stroller friendly.

5 /5 Frank Reza: We love to bring our dogs to this park whenever we visit Mammoth. During the summer months or the snowy season, our dogs love this place. It’s clean, spacious, and people are friendly.

5 /5 Faizah Rajput: EXCEPTIONAL⭐️PARK⭐️PLAY⭐️EXPLORE While at Mammoth I was looking for a quick spot to take my pup for a walk. The park is only a couple miles from the Ski resorts, but as soon as we drove in it felt like its own secluded magical forest. There roads become soft dirt roads. There is loads of hiking trails and picnic areas. There is also a skateboard/bike park, with ramps small enough for young kids. Theres a baseball field, and volleyball sand area. Everything is sectioned off nicely, but feels open and accessible. I did see several potty bag containers for pets. The signs posted as that all dogs stay on leash. There is ample parking. We parked and walked into the trees instead of the park. The wind was howling and there was still snow on the floor, which my pup loved. We walked for quite a ways and saw lots of blue birds and noticed golf spots sprinkled around the forest, as well as Frisbee golf stands, which made us feel very safe and comfortable. After an hour we walked back to the car. Theres little service in the dense trees, but after a short walk (10 min) in any direction the GPS picks back up. Charge your phone. Enjoy!

5 /5 Vanessa Castañeda: Beautiful park to handout with the family. They have a playground for the little ones and basketball courts for the teens along with a huge field with the most amazing grass. We went with our X-Country group and the kids played all kind of games with a soccer ball and just old fashion tag. On Tuesday we were there, they had a running group that was giving some tips to students hosted by ASICS. The runners got to listen to some Olympic champions give them running tips and how to deal with failure. I think this groups meets on a weekly basis at the park in the off-season.

4 /5 Laken Brock: A nice little rest stop to let the kids play. The restrooms are nice and there is a covered shelter and grilling area. The ball fields and volleyball sand pit would also be fun if you brought equipment. There is also a large open field where you could play football or soccer ⚽️.
