This is a really nice place and this is the first time that I came here. The huge trees are absolutely magnificent and its very peaceful. Every so often a large plane flies over above.We were only here a short while so I didnt get to walk the whole area but I think I got some pretty good pictures of some nice areas that arent seen when just driving around on the road.

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.

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

This hidden gem.has amazing views of the city skyline and wonderful ocean breezes. You can see the Coronado bridge and walk through huge magnolias and rare specimen palms as you hang out on a blanket or throwing a frisbee. Did I mention the annual Taco festival... yeah its the goods

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.

This park is great for many reasons. I go running there a few times a week and its great when it is shut down to cars in the morning. My kids love to play in the giant fig trees or just run through park kicking around a soccer ball or trying to fly a kite. Best of all I love the views that you have of downtown. My problem with the park is that many people choose to drive to quickly. I hope that the city puts something in place to stop this.

Neat little section inside of Balboa park that gets overlooked by tourists because its more of a residential area. I would have never known this section had a name or even existed if it werent for the neighbors inviting me to spend the Fourth of July with them. Fireworks from this park is okay. Not the greatest but awesome if you want to get away from the large crowds (Also, dont be the butthole who parks in the park during the fourth. Its low visibility with a ton of people around). You can see fireworks coming from the bay but other parts are blocked off from the trees.

Great hidden spot to hang out, take pictures with Downtown Dan Diego as a backdrop. Can sometimes be occupied by varying numbers of transients and/or people smoking weed at the tables. Still a nice, pleasant, well maintained little park.

Ive been coming here since the early 80s and I must say that the Park has seen better days. It must be getting close to needing a make over soon I hope. Nonetheless it is a good place to kill time and get a good small view of downtown along with the old and new Navy hospital.

Too many homeless there. They leave beer bottles and trash. Its scary to even hike in the area because you dont know what you will find.

I hate to say it but this otherwise very pleasant park on a hill is mired by low flying commercial airlines on their way to landing at San Diego International Airport. This park (at least while I was there) was in the direct flight path with about one jet passing overhead with a fair amount of noise every 3-4 minutes. There seem to be some questionable characters hanging around this park as well. I visited on a Sunday 2-3pm

Went here for Tacotopia. Seems like a great little park with plenty of shade. (See my Yelp review about Tacotopia).Close to the Balboa Golf Course. Great little neighborhood but expect a lot of large aircraft overhead.

I’ve been here for numerous events. It’s close to my house and no matter how many people show up to the events it never feels small and there is a always enough room. They also have enough porta potties and never a long line. I usually don’t like going to festivals but the ones hosted here I definitely don’t mind.

Fantastic views of downtown. Huge ancient coral trees. Cant play on the roots though, theyve fenced them off. Decent open space for an urban park. You can also watch the golfers at the Balboa course. Directly in the Lindbergh flight path. Pretty cool if you like planes.

Great Park, its never too crowded and has great vistas. It has a small parking lot, a public bathroom and a hot coal disposal can. The only downside is that its in the park for airplanes. So you have to pause conversations every 10 mins or so.
