    Chula Vista is not only a nexus of economic and cultural activity but also a haven for outdoor enthusiasts. The city's year-round sunny weather complements its extensive parks and recreational areas such as the Otay Valley Regional Park and the Chula Vista Marina, which offer local renters a chance to engage in various activities from hiking and biking to boating and fishing. For families, the Living Coast Discovery Center provides interactive wildlife and nature experiences, while the Chula Vista Elite Athlete Training Center, with its Olympic and Paralympic training grounds, inspires visitors and athletes alike.
