Golden Hill Park — Attraction in San Diego

A hidden, peaceful gem in Golden Hill and quite possibly one of my favorite parks in San Diego! First off, the view of the downtown city skyline through the trees and flowers is breathtaking! The entire park is well kept and clean. The road surrounding the park is a circular paved path approximately a mile long that is perfect for getting your steps in or taking a quick jog. There are many strategically situated picnic tables and benches for you to enjoy the lovely views! There is ample green grass and lush palm trees if you want to throw a blanket down and get your feet in the grass or hang a hammock and power lounge in shaded bliss. The park squirrels usually put on quite an acrobatic display which is sure to add to your enjoyment! Community events happen regularly here and it is a wonderful place for sports or special gatherings.

I come here almost every day and am so grateful this beautiful zen green...

Neat little section inside of Balboa park that gets overlooked by tourists because it's more of a residential area. I would have never known this section had a name or even existed if it weren't 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, don't be the butthole who parks in the park during the fourth. It's low visibility with a ton of people around). You can see fireworks coming from the bay but other parts are blocked off...

Always been here since i was little, it's a fun place to visit and have a picnic, even great to chill there at night. However they could re-build or give the bathroom there a makeover.

June 2024 edit: Honestly a lot has changed now ever since my review but man the park is now filled with a bunch of homeless people, the water fountains there are so dirty now and you can barely stay there and have a good time.. not as enjoyable anymore unfortunately. The city needs to do...
