Mt. Acadia Neighborhood Park — Attraction in San Diego

I went to school next to this park as a teen. I recently moved close to the park and brought new born son here. I've come full circle. This park is special to me. The one problem I have is the times I gone recently there have been 2bums sleeping on or near the benches. They are the same two I notice because one has a stroller with his stuff in it. That's a bit of a concern because it's like a community park for families and children and they shouldn't be exposed to that in my opinion. Bums didn't come here when I was a teen.

I come to Mt Acadia Park because of the Mountain views: West- Mt. Soledad, Southeast- Mt. San Miguel, East- Fortuna's & Cowles, El Cajon Mountain, Cuyamaca Mountains, Laguna Mountains. North- Mt.

Soledad Mt., and even Mission Bay from West of bathrooms. Also there are many birds here, and that fly through. There are trails down & beyond park to east, but I do not recommend. 1/2 mi. South on Genesee Ave. is entrance to Tecolote Natural Canyon...

Fun, little park with playground and baseball fields that are also used as dog parks. The pictures are of 2 baseball home plates we found randomly in an odd part of the park. Couldn't figure out why they were placed there and how the park used to be laid out for the baseball diamond to have been over near the church fence...if anyone knows the story, or has old maps/pictures of the park, I'd love to learn about the parks history :)...
