I love this park! When I used to work at a school nearby, I used to take my special education…read morestudents with my teacher's assistants for a walk on CBI (community based instruction) to Weymouth Corners and visit the post office and the bakery, as well to other shops in the area so they (the students, not the adults ) could practice making purchases and other daily life skills. Then we would continue to AP to eat lunch and feed the ducks which the kids loved to do. Averill is a nice, peaceful spot to escape the rat race for a short while and recharge before continuing with the stress and demands of daily life. Many students, unfortunately, live in foster homes that rarely take the children out into the community to learn how to function in the REAL world. Too many are placed in front of the TV when they are not at school, just being fed and receiving the bare minimum of personal care so CBI is important for them to be able to function in the community after they become adults and age out from qualifying for foster care anymore. The benches by the lake or the gazebo located in the upper part towards the northeast part of AP are especially restful areas to regain your sense of sanity and to recharge. If you happen to be in Pedro, bring a snack and beverage so you can spend time with the ducks and enjoy some downtime in a peaceful place.

It was definitely a sight to see close up! (See some photos attached) This event also included a nature walk and folks could also tour the museum on sight. WOULD I RECOMMEND? WOULD I RETURN?

Started off someplace else and just continued on to see and stop off at all the locations nearby. There's a good amount of parking along the street as well as some along the neighborhood. The park itself is overly big but it does have a good size to it. The nice massive trees lined the area. There's a nice little path along the sides where it looks out to the Pacific Ocean and the cliffs below. It was low tide so seeing the tide pools was quite beautiful. Along the path are little covered area which are label by number. Like mini covered patio with a table and seat. They too all looks out to the water. I believe there was a total of 8 seating enclosures along the path. Also, loads of squirrels roaming the place like it's nothing. They are not scared of you so be warn. Clearly there were signs not to feed the wildlife but there was people out with bags of peanuts feeding them. In the middle of the park is a little stage area and with benches. I'm sure they have theatre in the park happening if that's set up. And a playground around the side of it. There's also a lighthouse which is a focal point of the park. Situated right in the middle which now double as a museum. It's a cute park that I never knew about. Decent size for picnics or a nice wander around. The view alone along the path was spectacular. The cliff edge is dangerous so practice caution. Common sense, but they also had signs posted about suicides. It's a cute neighborhood park as along the front are homes right across the street.

There is a scenic path along the edge of the park that is a relaxing walk, fresh air and breeze. The fruit sellers have a good variety of fruits, even cactus fruit. The pergolas with tables are prime spots, if you see a table open swoop in and grab it right away or it will get swooped up! In my short visit, I saw families, romantic couple and a guy jamming out on a guitar and a motorcycle club taking a rest break.

It's pretty clRestrooms are near but they seem to need a code to open and the city seems to have locked them close for now. I'm sure pre pandemic they were open to the public.

Plus it's been decades since I was last around this area. There's so many stops along the way during our drive which this was the first along the path. It's a nice decent size park that it part of. A good amount of parking in the lot next to the basketball courts. Right along the bell is a massive grassy knoll where people were enjoying picnics and laying out. Of course today was beautiful but it was quite windy. Didn't help that the park was little higher than the rest so it made the wind a bit more aggressive. The focal point, the massive bell. With a walkway that leads you to the prize possession. Right in the middle looking out to the Pacific Ocean, she sits there on full display. The bright beautiful color of the details painted was a sight to see. Stairs leading up to the bell where you could walk around. It is roped off. Regardless whatever side you're looking at, it's was quite amazing. Something like this on a hill that's part of the city. If you walk down the grassy knoll, the view of the pacific ocean and cliffs were spectacular. Having a seat and just taking it all in was nice. It was windy so it did get cold but on a nice sunny and clear day, you could see miles and miles of the coastline and tide pools. These little hidden spots in the city are cute when you find them. There's also a little playground around the corner from the bell by the exit and entrance.

If you're on Cumbre Driver, there are parking spots on the street, but I think it's better if you drive into the park and park on the other side of the playground.

There are a couple of trails leading to a hill near the second parking lot mentioned above - Take it! Go up the hill for an even better view of the ocean and of the city!
