“Pantoja Park”

Sep 2019

Unfortunately this sweet peaceful park has been taken over by the homeless!! So sad to see it go downhill.

“Nice little "urban oasis"”

Sep 2018

Great little spot to eat a picnic, exercise, or just enjoy the outdoors. People walking their dogs, kids playing, and people enjoying the California sunshine! There is also a historical statue of Benito Juarez who was the president of Mexico for five terms in the 1800's. The statue itself was gift form Mexico in 1981. The reason it is there is that Mr. Juarez made the first good map of San Diego bay.

Close to the San Diego Westin, Gas Lamp and Little Italy

Jun 2016 • Business

Good park, close to the Westin, that is great for Dog Walking, the place is full of people walking their dogs and walking in the morning. (There were a few homeless people sleeping over but they cleared out as the dog walkers came around). The place has benches for sitting and looks like a nice place to play on the grass.

Peaceful

Aug 2017 • Couples

Found this park on our way home from a restaurant. Peaceful little park nestled amongst all the buildings, situated near the Westin hotel. Good place to walk there was several people out and about walking their dogs.
