Great spot for a walk or a picnic but theres always lots of shall we say characters who hang out here. Still nice. Tables could use a power washing. Expect the birds to be sliding into your area if you have food out.

We took a morning walks alongside the waterfront at this place. It located nearby Hotels and other attractions. There are shops and restaurants also nearby the park and Marina. The areas were very neat and secured for the tourists.

Always a great clean open space for my children to play. Of course we bring all our own equipment. Basketballs, rollerblades, skates, scooters, picnic mat, remote control cars, anything of the sorts. Family and I usually play basketball there 2 to 3 times a week. Always fun friendly competitive pick up games. Lights stay on till 10 pm I believe.

Such a beautiful place to go for a stroll, run, food.....almost anything. The paved walkway goes on forever so you can get miles and miles of running in. The biggest issue is crowding so if youre going for a run either plan your run around crowds or be prepared. Theres plenty of different places for food, drinks or shopping. You can also swing by and get a little piece of San Diegos history. You can take a walk through the old San Diego Jail. Theres photos, actual cells and history to read about.

A nice park in the seaport valley area. A very nice walking corridor along the harbor should you decide to take a walk while visiting San Diego. Plenty of parking around. Before 10 am on Saturday the Peking is free. This area is full of restaurants and hotels. Many people jog here. We went for lunch here at the Harbor House restaurant. It’s also very pleasant to walk the dog here.

They changed the layout. Added a musical pavilion, took away the exercise area and walking paths.Is a public park but now you have to pay for parking, (Plastic only) NO BILLS. Can use quarters ONLY no other change is excepted. $4.50 for 3 hours. Maximum time allowed. Parking Lot closes at 8PM but pier stays open until 10:30PM. Where do they expect you to park to fish? No more 24 hrs.

Another beautiful day in San Diego. We enjoyed the Coronado ferry ride for the first time. For $9.50 per person round trip. It wasnt a bad deal for a quick boat ride.

The north end of S Embarcadero is still closed for construction of the stage. The south end of the park (basketball courts, exercise stations, & pier) opened up a cpl of weeks ago. There are some concrete benches & picnic tables to sit at. Some of the grass areas are fenced off to let the new sod take hold.

Review №17

Great view. Lots of metered parking. Picnic tables and benches are limited. Dog friendly park. Fishing on the pier is allowed. The bad part is, lots of homeless people leaving trash around. The city needs to clean this place up.

This is always a refreshing place to walk while enjoying the fresh sea air, stands of mature trees, and upscale marina. You cant go wrong taking a walk or a jog here. The sights are unique and there are more than a dozen places to eat in the area, or you can picnic on the lawns!

This is a beautiful place behind the San Diego Convention Center. Nothing better than walking on grass, seeing the sail boats and the skyline of San Diego is beautiful from this location. A great place for special events. Last night was such event; Mexico Gourmet Festival with awesome food, wine & tequila from award winning chefs from MX & US.

1812 Tchaikovsky Spectacular complete with fireworks and cannon and a wonderful symphony on The Embarcadero between beach front ambience and the new DTSD skyline and Convention center all lit in celebration — of just being San Diego. I think it’s “Kansas City with better weather”. You gotta love it.

What a great addition to the city! The developers made great use of space. You can rock climb, roller skate in the Summer and ice skate in the Winter. Plus there is a kiddie area for smaller children. Great backdrop for pics.A must stop visit when you are in town.

Some of the best views I the city and yet never really packed or crowded. I mean don’t go on a sunny weekend and expect those same conditions. If you haven’t been down to the Embarcadero in a while I suggest you do. It has changed, it is beautiful and it makes me proud.

This is the most amazing place when the San Diego Symphony is doing their Bayside concerts in the Summer!! Of course you can buy a ticket, especially if you want to be close to one of the super star performers, but its also fun to bring a couple of blankets in a backpack and sit on the rocks just in front of the ticket booth!

Great outdoor venue with table seating. Beautiful sunset just before Blues Traveler took the stage. Parking was close and only $20 plus there were free shuttles right to the gate. A fair selection of concessions plus cocktails and micro brews Were available at reasonable prices. Will be going to more concerts there in the future.

A must walk of the San Diego marina bay. Grate downtown sight and picture momentum. Run, walk, skate. Or bike.The cool thing to do in embarcadero besides going into the pier, is to walk along the harbor from south to north wich has a beautifull bordwalk, sights, some shops, restaruants, museums, and more. Grate for walks, jogs, and bike riding. I suggest to start from the Grate Midway ship and work your way north.

South Embarcadero Marina Park is easy to walk to from Island Village or the convention center. Great harbor views. The park is used regularly for special events and may not be open to the public. This area is worth the walk / run / or ride.

Went here for the Tequil & Tacos festival and although Im sure there are more scenic views in San Diego this spot was a perfect place to hangout on a Sunday evening. Grabbed the famed Best Taco of 2018/2019 and had ourselves a few drinks and music. Would go again.

I love this area of the city. Every time I walk around the park Im reminded of how lucky I am to live in such a beautiful place. Also there are great workout stations and running routes. If you have visitors in town this is a great place to show off San Diegos charm.

Excellent place for the San Diego Symphony. I love going out and sitting by the Bay with the skyline in the background and listening to the orchestra. This particular night was a tribute to the San Diego Padres 50th anniversary. They did baseball music along with some of their regular Symphony music and had special guests from the Padres. It was a wonderful night.

Great park space on the San Diego waterfront. Conveniently located walking distance from the San Diego Convention Center, Seaport Village and the Gaslamp Quarter, Embarcadero Marina Park is an ideal place for a an afternoon run, casting and trying your luck with a pole or simply laying out and enjoying the iconic San Diego sun while watching the boat traffic go by.

The Embarcadero south now has the Summer Pops where the San Diego Symphony brings mid Summer nights dreams come true. The beauty of this venue is indescribable. The outdoors, the night sky, the city lights and most of all the incredible music! With offering of food and drink. What could be more perfect? All at reasonable and unreasonable prices!
