    I walk here whenever I need to take in some nature and just chill. Huge trees are unique and interesting plus offer big canopies of shade. Walking and runners enjoy this area as do people parking in the many spots around. Can also watch planes, see the city or look back onto the golf course from here.

    Nice little park. Great place to walk around. Nice neighborhood too. You can hear and see the planes coming into Lindbergh Field.

    Great views. Super chill. A mix of all kind of people. Lots of kids and families playing yard games. Bathrooms are good. They have places for hot coals to dispose. My friends got married here on a Saturday.

    Nice public park to enjoy a weekend. Large enough to have a party, and it is clean.

  • 5/5 Benjamin A H. 3 years ago on Google • 301 reviews
    This is a really nice place and this is the first time that I came here. The huge trees are absolutely magnificent and it's very peaceful. Every so often a large plane flies over above. We were only here a short while so I didn't get to walk the whole area but I think I got some pretty good pictures of some nice areas that aren't seen when just driving around on the road.

    A hidden, peaceful gem in Golden Hill and quite possibly one of my favorite parks in San Diego! First off, the view of the downtown city skyline through the trees and flowers is breathtaking! The entire park is well kept and clean. The road surrounding the park is a circular paved path approximately a mile long that is perfect for getting your steps in or taking a quick jog. There are many strategically situated picnic tables and benches for you to enjoy the lovely views! There is ample green grass and lush palm trees if you want to throw a blanket down and get your feet in the grass or hang a hammock and power lounge in shaded bliss. The park squirrels usually put on quite an acrobatic display which is sure to add to your enjoyment! Community events happen regularly here and it is a wonderful place for sports or special gatherings. I come here almost every day and am so grateful this beautiful zen green space exists

    One of my favorite spots in Balboa Park. It's nestled in between a nice view of Balboa and a really great family neighborhood with lots of restaurants & local corner stores. I've never had a bad experience while visiting this part of the park.

    It is a nice park. But I went there for Tacotopia last week. A total disaster. Bought VIP tickets. Stood in line 35 minutes to get in. Only 7 vendors. Spend an hour in long lines for 2 tacos. Gave up and left soon after. Will not go back

    A spacious neighborhood park where people enjoy sitting, dog walking, jogging, picnicking, walking and sun bathing.

  • 4/5 Gemma M. 7 months ago on Google • 31 reviews
    It’s a small park with nice views. I appreciate the simplicity. Great place to take a quick green break if you are in the neighborhood. I wouldn’t say it’s a destination park, but it has an epic large tree in the center with nice view from top of the hill.

  • 3/5 Dennis K. 3 years ago on Google
    Great place for a hike, peaceful walk or to just watch the sunset.

    Nice park

  • 5/5 saint james harris w. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful restful park right smack dab in the middle of North Park suburbia. Children playing, people walking and laughing, areas for all sorts of sports, lovers and runners and picnickers. A plane flies over now and then, but one would have to be curmudgeon to complain about this beautiful park.

  • 5/5 Nate W. 3 years ago on Google
    It's a park in golden hill. There's BBQ areas and parking.

  • 3/5 Krazy D. 2 years ago on Google
    Grass area is well kept of fair amount of homeless people, GOD BLESS THEIR WONDERFUL, UNFORTUNATE SOULS... ambulance their on-call all the time but very little parking park closes promptly at 6:00 right across the street from the Balboa golf course and another small Park with sports area both parks and bathrooms aren't that great as far as cleanliness

  • 5/5 Josue Levi Silva G. 2 years ago on Google
    Great park in Golden Hill. Has bathrooms, a water fountain and a lot of people jog at all times of the day. Very spacious people often play soccer, volleyball or even walk around the small trail

  • 5/5 Melina R. 2 years ago on Google
    We love to come here for walks with our dog. It's a nice park. Always has a nice breeze and never really crowded. I think a lot of folks dont really know about it. Nice spot to hang out with a picnic blanket and enjoy some food with view.

  • 3/5 David D. 2 years ago on Google
    Place where the old historic grotto fountain is found. People walk/jog on the road around, instead of using the park itself. They just put themselves at risk. Traces of homeless people around the park, where the bushes can hide them. Liked the downtown view.

  • 5/5 Jorge M. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place for family parties with a lot of open space to enjoy. Celebrated a family birthday party and will again in the future. They also have those beautiful purple flower trees all over.

    VIBES!!! You get an amazing city view. If you ever wanted to take a picture with an airplane flying above your head. This is the park to do it in. There is an airplane landing in the nearby airport ever 3 minutes or so and they fly right above this park.

  • 5/5 Rebecca C. 1 year ago on Google
    Such a gem of a park. The trees are giant and old and perfection. Quiet area, relaxed vibe, lush grass.

  • 4/5 Shianne W. 1 year ago on Google
    My friend and I went here to get away from everyone late at night. The views are beautiful. There was nothing that was there that would bother us and there were no signs of anything jenky happening.

  • 5/5 Sammy S. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Roxana F. 3 years ago on Google
    This park has no playground but rather trees and open space. Great for pick nicks and to watch fireworks on fourth of July. Hiking/walking trails connect to it. Good place to just sit and have your lunch. Luigis pizza is near by.

  • 4/5 Chuck N. 3 years ago on Google
    Super chill park with not a whole lot going on. People parking and enjoying some SD shade. Great for bird watching (just encountered a red tail hawk about 8 ft away land on a low branch. Beautiful). Great for watching planes on final approach to SDIA (listen to the tower on Scanner Radio Pro and follow flights on FlightAware). A fair number of grassy areas and picnic tables for use. Park closes 6pm-sunrise.
