I love this place! Its pretty. And mostly quiet and theres been nobody else there whenever I have been there. So obviously the number of people going there is not to high. But there are a lot of runners who frequently jog over it. So. You know. But again I love it here very much!

One of the nations 88 suspension bridges left nationwide; so mark it off your list once youve been there. Theres free on street parking on both sides of the bridge so no long walking for those that arent able to hike. It has all the natural San Diego terrain around to enjoy your suspended walk. Its been a tradition to bring a lock and lock it on the cables but, the city has been cutting them off when they check on the bridge.Be careful with little ones, I know how curious children are, but, they can fall right through the cables.Enjoy!

Nice place for a quick look. Its a public place so youll see locals (youngsters) hanging out sometimes which can be uncomfortable. Just a quick walk across. Thats it.

We lived next door. Its heaven. The canyon is enormous...we were cutting cords of wood back then. Awesome!

A breathtaking experience. Never knew there was a suspension bridge in the San Diego area. It is well designed. I will definitely be coming back again. I highly recommend

Loved this place. Its not too long but it very relaxing and nice to walk through.

If you love height n bridge it great here. Easy to get here n easy street parking. Kids n dog friendly.

Sitting 70 feet above Kate Sessions canyon, Spruce Street pedestrian suspension bridge was built in 1912 to provide easy access to trolley lines on Fourth and Fifth avenues. It was the most traffic bridge among the seven bridges we visited. Yes, it sways!

Super nice hidden gem. You can easily park closely on the street and check it out. Just walk across and take a look at the view

Beautiful lil walking, jogging, biking bridge with some pretty views. Make sure you LEAVE NO TRACE, found lots of trash around this beautiful historic landmark. Wear a mask when in public too please Keep San Diego clean, healthy, & safe for all to enjoy

Neat little thing to come across. Cool view of the canyon and fun to be bounced around a bit while walking across. Ive heard there is a route in the area that crosses 5 bridges like this.

Great place to walk and see all of the eucalyptus trees towering up from the canyon below.

I dont know if youre ok of heights but to me it was scary. Not recommended for children. Be careful crossing the bridge!

Cool place to ho and see while on a hike. I thought it was awesome!!!

Who knew this was even here awsome bring good shoes because it moves a lot

Nice view from the bridge. The walking trail down below looks better.

Very cool. Worth it if you are in the area.

Amazing that this bridge still swings after 100 years of service. Truly a magnificent place to go visit.

It is a quick short walk across the bridge. The bridge is over a canyon filled with wild succulents and pencil cactus. Ample parking on the streets nearby. Is usually busy on weekends.

This secret little oasis is in the middle of a residential area yet once you get on the bridge - you feel like youre in the middle of a jungle, not in San Diego. Really easy to get to and lots of parking spots nearby. Youll see lots of local residents walking by or taking their pets out for a stroll - so be mindful of that when taking pictures.

Wobbly and fun to walk across. Beautiful view.

Its a beautiful bridge with cool views and a little swing to keep you moving. This is a good IG photo spot!

Another one of San Diego historic landmarks. Was closed off during pandemic but people cross anyway. Bridge moves a little bit if you run but thats what is exhilarating. Quick little stop to check out wont hurt.

It was fun but it can shake a lot. A very unknown sight in San Diego but it’s nice. On the other side of downtown.

Great hidden gem within the city. A nice little park to retreat to and enjoy nature.

I like this calm place. Everything is green with downtown’s view when you are facing southwest. bird sound during the sunset make this suspended bridge as a good area for meditation and mindfulness. In conclusion enjoy the nature in the heart of the city

Beautiful view of the valley below and a little eerie. You can feel it move as you walk across. Wish I was physically able to walk the trail below. It looked very peaceful and we saw many butterflies and hummingbirds in the area.

Fun walking adventure in Bankers Hill neighborhood. Suspension bridge crosses over a small, dead-end canyon walk that can be accessed from Arroyo Drive, near intetsection of Reynard Way and Laurel Street. Suspension bridge is within walking distance of Balboa Park.

Fun little bridge that bounces delightfully when you walk across it. Fun to have a suspension bridge over a canyon with eucalyptus trees in the middle of the city.

Fun and interesting hidden gem in beautiful quiet neighborhood!

Do you like green scenery? Are not afriad of heights? Like to visit interesting places? This is the place to be! Absolutely loved it. Would recommend visiting, even if youre just passing by, take some time to see this. You wont regret the forest like atmosphere and the birds chirping in the morning make it even better.

A beautiful piece of art. Hope people take care of it.

Great place for those romantic couples who love outdoor activities.

Shot by Nicole @untamabletruthLove this spot!! Its an incredible bridge!

If you are touring San Diego, this is a must! The bridge is over 100 yrs old. And is unique in its own way. Views are amazing and the photos are insta worthy. As it is a suspension bridge. Be prepared for some mild swaying and buckling.

A very decent outing! And a great first challenge, if youre afraid of heights!

Good place to walk, think about yourself, leave all your problems

Quick walk across. Pretty high up. Not worth going out of your way to see it.

Nothing to it. Just park and walk it.... We were lucky enough to have it to ourselves, as we were arriving a big crowd was leaving.

Awesome little bridge crossing over the canyon. Fun stop if you need to kill some time. Love the wobble in the bridge to remind you its a legit suspension bridge.

I love history of my home town.

Its just a bridge but its pretty cool. Maybe not for people that are afraid of heights.

Great walk and the neighborhoods were lovely! We grabbed breakfast as Snooze, about a mile from the bridge and then moseyed over. Not a ton of foot traffic on the bridge itself and the walk across was breezy and beautiful!

Nice walk over the bridge, folx may want to be a bit more courteous with passing and social distancing given the current circumstances

Its a hidden gem. Also, I totally didnt realize the the bridge rocks.

Lovely little hidden gem nestled in SD neighborhoods with free street parking. It can be a little crowded on weekends

One of the coolest bridges in San Diego. You can feel it sway as you walk so thats slightly unsettling at first but definitely a unique experience. If you walk the seven bridges trail this one might be the 4th or 5th.

An awesome hidden gem. We thoroughly enjoyed the peace and quiet on this bridge and the view of a beautiful lush valley. If you have a fear of heights, this may not be for you.

Its beautiful,but too scary for meit moves too much and I am afraid of heights,but other than that its very nice greenery around! Beautiful for pictures!!

Great day for a walk about town .something different.great virws

Its a fairly long pedestrian bridge. The rocking may be scary for some kids. Its a well-kept suspension bridge in the middle of a quiet neighborhood. Dont look down.

A hidden gem of San Diego. Great view, smell of eucalyptus and the charming bounce and wiggle of a true suspension bridge. Two thumbs up.

Pretty neat little site hidden in the middle of the city! It’s worth stopping and seeing!

Love the bridge, but a lot of people milling around without masks.

I dont know if is for covid-19 but the area was quick dont got through the trails find the streets that( you will go some uphill hiking if you go through the trail )

A secret spot and definitely a hidden gem in San Diego. The views are beautiful from the middle of the bridge and the walk on the bridge as well with suspensions.. try going by bike if you have one so that it can be even funnier

Such a good place too look at the city, 10/10 would go again

Absolutely Gorgeous Views. The green lush area below is accessible through a small staircase on one side. The bridge has a decent sway. It will move back & forth as you walk. It is tall enough to give you a bit of Vertigo. Very short bridge, but worth the trip. Check out the suspension wires that extend out & secure the top of the bridge to the ground, they are massive! And walking down below, underneath the bridge, gives you a new perspective and appreciation for the work.... Happy Trails

Just a short Bridge but the view and height are such a cool little attraction right in the middle of a neighborhood. Be sure to check out espresso mio right up the street.

A hidden gem in San Diego. Nice neighborhood for walking.

Very nice 1912 suspension bridge - one of only two in San Diego

Ive lived in San Diego for most of my life, and I still get surprised by its little hidden gems.The suspension bridge was built on 1912. Its such a cool, tucked away site and fun to visit, walk across and take pictures of.

Great for a.quick stop by and taking photos. Had a good laugh/time with my girls.

It’s a very cool bridge to check out. You can spend 5 to 10 mins walking on it and taking cool pictures. It’s fun!

Fun little walk but needs benches or something. I was planning on a picnic before flying back home and had no where to sit. It was a fun bridge tho

It look nice but there was a bit too many people

Interesting bridge thats quite scenic during the evening time as well. I would say that it can sway a bit as people walk on it and the gaps in the wires are large enough a small child could slip through. I would recommend being one adult with one small child or just not do this scenic bridge. There are multiple of them but I only did this one.

Easy to get to, great for photos or romantic events

Cool bridge to check out if you are in the area, but not worth a special trip out. Its a quick 5 minutes detour out of your busy sight seeing day. Bridge does sway and rock a little so if you are not into that, then skip or look at it from afar.

Nice, free, simple pleasure. It is just a bridge that leads from one neighborhood street across a vast expanse to another neighborhood. For visitors to the area it means little more than a buoyant suspended bridge but for the local residents it saves the extra time walking around a deep undeveloped valley.

Scary at night but worth the hike. Be cautious because the height and electric wires can be a hazardous to your health!

I had a blast! You also have steps on the opposite side which will take you down into the ravine, but you have to fight through the foliage to get down to it.

I’m just curious when the bridge in my backyard became a tourist attraction? It’s only about 30-40 yards across, not that long. Neighbourhoods on each side. Nothing special, I’m just giving it a 4 star because it’s been my neighbourhood for decades.

While it’s certainly unique, it’s just another suspension bridge. Not that many great views of much as you are tucked away in the valley. Good for a walk across and back. Ok for a quick time killer if you are driving around that area.

Quick stop in a historic neighborhood. Walk on the bridge in one direction, take a loop round the neighborhood and walk the other direction on the bridge. Busy with tourist and photographers. Also sketched my dog out a bit.

Very cool suspension bridge in the heart of San Diego. Not a whole lot to say about it. Its pretty high up over a canyon with a hiking trail running beneath. This thing DOES SWAY quite a bit, so I would not recommend it for anybody with poor balance or who needs support to walk.

It could be horrifying for those scared of heights but its a quick walk across and back. We saw a family taking family photos and its the perfect area for that also. A hidden San Diego gem if you are looking for the non-touristy things to do. Upside would be if there are scooters around, you can ride through the neighborhood for a bit of excitement.

Very cool to walk across this hidden suspension bridge in the middle of a pretty residential neighborhood. Serene nature sounds and some decent views of the city.Awesome (free!) way to spend 20 mins near downtown San Diego!

A very cool nature spot in the city. Theres nice neighborhoods on either side to wander through as you make your way to the bridge. If youre afraid of heights this might not be the bridge for you as it does move as you walk across.

Spanning the Kate Sessions canyon (San Diegos own Mother Nature)

Very short and nice adventure place in the middle of the city. A must go place.

This is no longer a hidden gem since it gets a fair share of the crowd. Still a cool landmark that makes a short adventure.

Wonderful bridge in a wilderness area thats so pretty!

Scary. Lol. It shakes a little too much for my liking. Lol

I love this place! Very quiet and calm.

Amazing bridge and walkway down below, one of the coolest sights and hidden gems of San Diego!

Where else can you find a bridge in the middle of the city? Very nice area with lots of street parking near by. Nice to walk across and take pictures.

Beautiful view of nature and a little view of downtown also its peaceful and relaxing been my spot for 5 years...

Pretty cool bridge fun place to go on a little excersion.

A unique arquitectural feat in an unsuspecting neighborhood, make sure to look down for that vertigo effect. Please, avoid jumping, youre torturing other guests :)

So fun! Takes 2 min to walk it, so make sure to stop by and check it out

Loved the view. The bridge is safe and sturdy. It sways with your motion.

A fun find & different thing to do while on vacation. Definitely worth a side trip if you are up that way or it can be a destination but realize that it is just a bridge. Nothing else to do but walk across it. We actually found its cousin, the Quince St Bridge on accident which is closeby & worth a visit as well.

A hidden jewel in our busy city. Treat yourself to this experience.

I had to stop by and do a little light painting at one of San Diegos well known secrets, The historic Spruce Street Suspension Bridge! The Spruce Street Suspension Bridge was built in 1912 by the City of San Diego, and was designed by Edwin Capps. The bridge was designed as a pedestrian by-way for the local neighborhoods to the Fourth and Fifth Avenue trolley stops. While the trolley lines are long gone, the bridge remains today, and has become a popular destination for neighborhood locals and tourists alike. At 375 feet in length, and 70 feet in height, it is a visually stunning structure. While it is interesting to look at, it is even more fun to walk across, as it is a suspension bridge. This means that the bridge can sway in the wind; underfoot under a run or back and forth if there is a crowd of people on it trying to move it!

Old and strong bridge !

Cool to walk across the bridge as it shakes; nice short hiking trail below bridge.

Great iconic spot in Bankers Hill. Get ready to take some pics and hold on!

I been to this place at night which its darker and very scary at night time.

Its nice but tiny.
