Kit Carson Park in Escondido is named after the intrepid scout who fought in the Battle of San Pasqual, that took place a short five miles away.
The vast park encompasses over 200 acres, and includes many facilities: an extensive network of hiking trails; three ponds; picnic areas; the five-acre The Iris Sankey Magical Garden arboretum;
Queen Califia's Magic Circle, lighted fields for softball, baseball, and tennis. A huge
sports center satisfies most roller hockey, inline skating, bike freestyle, skateboard, and soccer enthusiasts. In addition, there is a 3,000-capacity outdoor amphitheater.
A Girl Scouts of America Program Center is located in the park, at the north end.
