We go here every afternoon. The lower part of the park has a short circular walking trail with a few markers and statues about the battles that happened in the area during Monterey's early history. The views of the Monterey Harbor with the boats, Fisherman's Wharf and the cities of Seaside and Sand City across the bay are the best you'll get. If there is a festival in Monterey, we sometimes park and walk to downtown Monterey or the Fisherman's Wharf. Not a lot of people know about this hidden place just above the harbor and city.

Lower Presidio historic park has great views of the harbor and bay. The paved trails have interpretive signs discussing history of the area. Several monuments for various people and events. Museum only open on weekends. Plenty of free parking.

This is a hidden gem in Monterey: free and uncrowded picnic spot.
