Date Built: 1868

This park's history stretches back to well before San Diego was incorporated. In 1835 the Spanairds issued a land grant of 47,000 acres for recreational purposes. Since that time, while the area of the recreational size of the park has diminshed, this park continues to be promient in its recreational, educational and artistic facilities.



We enjoyed walking around the area, even going into the botanical gardens and listening to a bit of guitar and saxaphone music. We did this for about an hours
