La Mesa Recreation Center
If you stroll down to the east intersection of La Mesa Blvd. and University Ave. you'll come upon the downtown community's recreation area. Little league fields, park space, swimming pool, and even a pitch and putt golf course (Sun Valley) serve the needs of the quaint old homes and apartment buildings that cluster along the side streets beyond La Mesa Blvd. Between the businesses and services, the dining and entertainment, and the recreation, you can see why downtown La Mesa is a little slice of Americana.
