This family recreation center is located just steps from the Pacific Ocean. Belmont Park recreation center features Southern California's largest indoor public swimming pool, The Plunge, and the historic Giant Dipper roller coaster. This is definitely a great fun date idea. A terrific day of fun, water, and sun is definitely a good way to have an entertaining date. You can dine at the WaveHouse or Canes Bar and Grill. If you are looking for momentos of your date, visitors enjoy souvenir shopping. Trying out FlowRider, a simulated surfing wave, is an experience all its own. Other fun carnival rides that are at the Belmont Park amusement park include Tilt-AWhirl, Speedway Bumper Cars, Combat Flight Simulators and The Chaos, a 3-D rocking, spinning and chaotic thrill ride.

A terrific and fun date idea, especially for naturally active people is to go on a bike tour around San Diego. The weather in California is perfect for outdoor travel. You and your loved one can get out and exercise and get to know San Diego at the same time. Bike Tours of San Diego is an establishment that offers inexpensive hourly, daily and group rentals of many different vehicles including beach cruisers, hybrids, road and mountain bikes. Besides the choice to take your own tour and turn down whatever road you want at whatever time you want, BTSD also offers guided tours of San Diego with people who know the city. This is a plus especially when you are a tourist and are not familiar with the area.

There are four reservable picnic areas at the San Dieguito County Park. These sites are set among the beautiful towering Eucalyptus groves that characterize this part of San Diego county. The park, only minutes from the ocean, is cooled by sea breezes during warmer summer months. A ball field, basketball court,  play areas, and hiking trails are accessible nearby for picnickers and visitors to enjoy. The lower area of the park is devoted to nonreservable family picnics. If you do reserve a picnic site, prices range from $200 to $400, depending on the area you select, how many people you bring, and how long you are staying. This is a terrific way to get to know a first date or to get to know the loved one you have been with for years. Bring a bottle of good wine and some great picnic food and you will have a fantastic and romantic date. Parking is $3 per vehicle. Reservations can be made M-F 8a-5p.
