An oasis of calm among the hustle and bustle, Mission Bay Park is a lovely place to take five. Pull up a bench and watch fellow parkgoers wander around the grounds.

This recreation and green space is often on the itineraries of visitors to Beach Cities. But Mission Bay Park isn't the area's only highlight. San Diego Zoo, Balboa Park, and University of San Diego are some other worthwhile sights close by.

Small park with great views of San Diego, the skyline, Mission Bay and and the Pacific Ocean. The park is mainly visit by local people with their dogs as we can run free on the large grass area. It’s also nice for just Picknick and watching the views. RV parking was plenty along the curbside inside the park but probably hard to use the turn-back circle on the end of the park for RVs over 30 feet long. More photos from here can you find on my blog:
