San Diego County has opened its new outdoor archery range at Kumeyaay Valley County Park in Lakeside.
Located at 10964 Ashwood Street, the new facility fills a community need for public outdoor ranges in the region to support both beginner and competitive-level archery training.
The self-regulated range is open from 8:30 a.m. to sunset and features 10 shooting lanes designed for different skill levels. It is fully ADA-compliant with accessible footpaths, parking, shooting lanes and restrooms.
Nicholas North is a former Navy SEAL who has embraced adaptive archery.
“If people think their lives are over, they’re not,” he said, as he used a wheelchair at the range. “There are things they can do. Archery’s just one of them, but archery’s the one I use.”
The park was selected because of its location. There are currently no public outdoor archery ranges in East County. The new venue, where officials hosted a grand opening Wednesday – attracting North and top-level competitive archers – will increase access to the sport and reduce travel times, officials said.
“We’re so excited to be bringing this new and much anticipated archery range to East County,” said Supervisor Joel Anderson. “It will continue to enhance our region by providing all residents with a new outdoor space to engage in this sport.”
Parks and Recreation staff engaged with local archery advocacy groups, including clubs, industry professionals and the Lakeside Community Planning Group, to create an amenities list for the range. This feedback was used to guide the development and concept plan for the project.
