link Balboa Park is one of the city’s most cherished treasures. It is actually one of the oldest parks in the United States dedicated to public recreational use, being reserved in 1835. The park gained notoriety during the 1915 Panama-California Exposition and the 1935–36 California Pacific International Exposition, both of which left architectural...
link Across the parking lot from the Desert View Toweris a jumbled mass of boulders just aching to be scrambled. Random faces and animals are waiting to greet you at every turn. Certainly not easy for the claustrophobic. Boulder Park has been a fixture in the desert since the early 1930s. Boulder Park is on the same property and literally right nex...
link Briercrest Park is a small yet lovely park located near the Grossmont Healthcare Center in La Mesa. I was originally drawn towards this park when I learned that James Hubbelland the Hubbell & Hubbell architecture studio had designed multiple features in the park including a mosaic butterfly along one of the pathways, a labyrinth as well as som...
link Buena Vista park has a variety of hiking trails but also starts off with a pond that makes for a great picnicking spot. Many of the hikes are shaded (huge bonus), making this a hike you can do all year long and stay much cooler than you would otherwise! The trail will snake you along the Agua Hedionda Creek and oak groves. We found two secret ...
link Dos Picos Park, translated to "Two Peaks" got its name from two distinct peaks nearby. The park, located in Ramona, is home to a beautiful oak grove, some of the trees being over 300 years old! There is a campground here as well as two cabins so you can extend your daytrip overnight!
link Double Peak Park is quite possibly the best panoramic view in San Diego. It is breath-taking! I can imagine you can capture killer sunsets here. I began doing one of the hikes but quickly realized it was not worth it because it was almost sunset and that is when the park closes. So if you want to hike AND experience the sunset, make it a day! ...
link Felicita Park is the site of one of the largest and oldest Indigenous villages in the county. To this day, grinding holes and other artifacts reveal evidence of the centuries-old community of the Northern Kumeyaay. Felicita Park has always been one of my favorite parks. Perhaps because it is not your traditional park (in my opinion). There are...
link Friendship Park / El Parque de la Amistad is an historic meeting place on the US/Mexico border next to the Pacific Ocean. The park is also located inside California’s Border Field State Park. El Parque de la Amistad sits beneath the famous lighthouse (“El Faro”) in Playas de Tijuana. For many generations this park has served as a meeting groun...
link Golden Hill Park is actually an extension of Balboa Park and contains oldest remaining feature in the entire park. An old, stone fountain is listed by the National Register as the oldest feature, designed by architect Henry Lord Gay. Other attractions in the area included a children's park, walking trails, and a redwood bird aviary. Make sure ...
