A large, multi-generational crowd gathered in Rancho Bernardo Community Park on Saturday for its annual “Snow Day in the Park.”
The free event included playing in the snow, sledding, visits with Santa, train rides, games, prizes, crafts, photo opportunities, a bounce structure and more.
It was presented by the Rancho Bernardo Recreation Center as part of the City of San Diego’s holiday offerings through its Parks and Recreation Department.
