Outdoor Activities
An all-purpose resource for recreation is the Big Bear Valley Recreation and Park District (909/866-9700). The office is located at 41220 Park Avenue in Big Bear Lake. The Park District maintains Meadow Park (next to the district office) with its play areas for sand volleyball, tennis courts, softball fields, horseshoe pits and picnic areas. This is also a great place to swim in Big Bear Lake. Swim Beach is fully fenced, has lifeguards on duty and has a snack bar and shade trees.
