Absolutely our favorite park in the area. This park is always clean. There is never trash, dog poop, homeless or any other issues. The playground is so much fun and my kids could spend hours here. read more

Beautiful venue. I love the organ and when they have other concerts It's open air and you can sit on the benches or bring your own chair. We will go in the summer to watch live music You can bring your own food. They say no alcohol. Parking used to be free. Now you have to pay if you're not a San Diego city resident read more

Great park for young kids.....equipment is mostly shaded and good variety for all under 10. Park was clean and seems like a great venue to watch a summer concert. read more

I absolutely love Coronado and all the events hosted at Spreckels Park. Yesterday we attended one of their Concerts in the Park series and seeing all the families gathered together for the event definitely leaves you with a desire to live here. The band was wonderful and the park is big enough for all to enjoy. They have a gazebo that's used for the stage, a playground for littles, plenty of trees for shade, and clean bathrooms for the public. Beautiful space to enjoy the outdoors. read more

This park is amazing, the space is just right for everyone to enjoy themselves. Theee are bathrooms onsite on both sides. Just stay vigilant because smaller kids will throw the sand around. So if you just washed your hair, be on there look out. read more

5 stars for the park that I've been visiting since I was a little kid back in the 70's. It's a classic small-town America park with a bandstand, playground, and tons of space to run around and hang out. In the summer they have free concerts on Sunday and a flower show and book show. 0 stars for the park's public bathrooms which I used to brag about being the cleanest bathrooms in the world. Apparently somebody heard the compliments and decided that they were doing too much work and their efforts would be better spent on doing as little as possible. Last night when I needed to use the facilities, I had to check through 8 separate stalls of increasingly horrifying sights before finding one that was barely acceptable if I held my nose and didn't pay attention to the surroundings too much. The previous ones had excrement all over the toilet and ground. Another had a full, open container of Vons tomato bisque sitting by an equally full toilet bowl. Another had a lake of urine. I imagine when Danny Boyle was writing Trainspotting, these stalls were his inspiration for the Worst Toilet in Scotland. read more

This is an awesome park with a great playground. There is tons of street parking and there are public bathrooms provided. The playground is great for a wide age range of kids starting from toddlers to bigger kids. My 18 month old and three year old had a blast. read more

Vast green grassy field for events or just for the children to run around. Tall trees to make the ambiance feel like a forest. Clean and well maintained play ground. My kids love playing here. Available street parking and walking distance to and from numerous shops and restaurants. Overall, great experience. Highly recommend. read more

We were hear last night for the Sunday concert series. Large fun crowd. Many bring tables, chairs, food, blankets--it's a scene from 5 to 8 on Sundays. People here really get into it. You can stop at Boneys on Orange and get a picnic dinner before the concert. Or hit one of the restaurants on Orange. Different music every Sunday. Parking is on the street--you should be able to get a space within 3-4 blocks--check the back streets if Orange is packed. Bike it over too. Nice safe crowd from what I have seen. They have a bathroom area and dumpsters for garbage. Great park to sit and relax at. We used to have nice parks like this in my area until the homeless took them over. read more

In compassing one whole block in all directions, this little park has a lot to offer, including some nice spots to take a siesta, such as I did. The lawn was very green and the trees mature which makes the park quite pictures. The park is located on Orange Ave. between 6th and 7th street encompassing eight acres surrounding by neighbor housing. The park includes picnic tables spread about, a gazebo used for presentations and entertainment, and well maintained restroom facilities. Spots are open for event for over twenty people but reservations are required for that size. Electricity is also available: a rare commodity these days. No alcohol is allowed at the park of course. I have to say, I really like this park. I really enjoyed sitting under the large trees as their leaves danced in the wind. Being so close to the coast, it does not get that hot very often, except on those rare hot Santa Ana Days. This park makes me want to take a comfy nap. read more

This is one of my new favorite spots. I came here with my family on a Sunday afternoon for the concert in the park (every Sunday at 6 pm). There's plenty of street parking within walking distance on all four sides of the park. The playground is excellent and has plenty of slides and monkey bars. Parents can park it on the grass and listen to the music and watch their kids. The gazebo is in the center of the park and the band plays to al sides so there is plenty of seating, regardless of where you sit. The park has portable bathrooms brought in for the event but they are in the form of a trailer and are very clean and don't stink! This is not your average portapotty! Note that Dogs are not allowed at this park! read more

Shaded playground areas in a beautiful park. There are two separated play areas. One for big kids and one for toddlers. There is also a sandbox for kids to play with. There are many benches that parents can sit on while their kids getting out some energy. Parking is relatively easy as it is a few blocks away from main streets of Coronado. Overall, I highly recommend the park and its playground. Faculties are well maintained including the bathrooms. read more

Took a little drive today from Encinitas to Balboa park and decided to check out Coronado. I haven't been there more than 1-2 times in 23 years of living in SoCal. Anyways decided to check out some local parks and we stopped at Spreckeles Park. It was very nice and got the feel of what it would be like to live in Coronado. Anyways the park is very nicely manicured with flowers and trees in the park and along the street. There is a huge gazebo and people jogging kids playing in a very updated playground. Lots of swings and slides. Also there were artists selling their artwork by the roadside. It felt really folky and something out of a movie. Great park to see how the other half lives :) read more

What a nice park! The only downside is that it's surrounded by busy streets, so if you have little kids you have to follow them very close! The playground here is nice and well maintained. There are swings, slides, some bars to swing on... on the little kid playground there's a wall with the alphabet on it, which I found to be unique to this playground. There's also a gazebo, and a big grassy field good for picnics, playing frisbee or just running around. Great family park! read more

My friend and I are here for end of the summer free concert. Love the energy and the crowd. Friendly park with plenty of restrooms, police cars are here to help with the security. Some ppl brought their pets but not too many of them so it is manageable. The stage area is well setup. A opportunity to visit the beautiful Coronado. The parking is not too bad either. You circle around the neighborhood you'll find a spot off the street. But do try to arrive 30 minutes before concert officially starts, after concert starts, the parking is almost impossible. You might have to park very far out and walk. read more

My wife and I always love coming here whenever we visit Coronado. It has that old-fashioned charm and the gazebo always makes my wife want to dance with me inside of it. There are lights around it that light up at night to make it look even more romantic. I'd definitely recommend taking your bf/gf/spouse here with a picnic or at night for a nice dance/stroll under the stars. read more

Spreckels Park - Parks Near Me - Coronado, California

This park is really nice! However, for us parent folk, it would be nice if the amazing bathrooms were closer to the playground and if they playground was fenced in. Having the playground in a residential area is comforting but there are still a decent amount of cars on the streets surrounding it. There are also quite a few "blind spots" meaning that I could be on one end of the playground with my baby and have to scour the playground at times just to see my older daughter on the other side of, or within, some random part of the structure. Big fan of the Astro- turf though and it's toddler and big kid friendly! read more

Love this area!! The park, the church, the shops....the community as a whole has tons to offer! Pack a lunch, rent a bike, listen to the live music and enjoy the beautiful natural surroundings. The play structures are safe for young and old; plus the major benefit of amenities for children with special needs. The pad under is one of the best I have seen and I can't help but wish we could be here for more than just play dates. If we could send our kids to the Sacred Heart School and visit the Sacred Heart Church for our services I would be a very happy momma......but noooooo I have to be from Canada read more

Spreckels Park - Amazing play areas for all ages! - Parks Near Me - Coronado, California

HYPOCRACY. Good music but during the June 5 2022 summer concert they made a loudspeaker announcement about no solicitations or leafleting. Then their representatives circulate around the seated Spectators, hand you a season schedule, and then ask you to make a money donation to the money box they're holding. read more

This is a great park (funny, it's misspelled on the map.) It's large (8 acres), with plenty of grass, public restrooms, and a brand new playground (opened end of March 2009). The new playground is very cool and has large structures for both little and big kids. The park is right across the street from the Coronado Library, which has story times twice a week, making it the perfect place for an energy release after quiet time in the library. The first and third Sundays of the month, from 9AM to 4PM, there's "Art in the Park," with artists lining the Orange and 7th Street edges of the park. In April, Spreckels Park is the site of the Coronado Flower Show (which also features a used book sale put on by the library), and in the summer there are concerts in the gazebo every Sunday evening. All in all, a very nice park for the whole family, for many reasons. read more

A perfect park for a 3 year old. My daughter had so much fun we came back a second time during our vacation. Great playground equipment and a large green grass good for running around on. read more

Definitely a fun park to get away from the norm. Located across from the library this park has a big play ground and well maintained grass area. There are plenty of picnic tables to enjoy a meal on and the bathroom is nice and clean. Within walking distance of restaurants and stores. My half way point when taking a stroll between Hotel Del and the ferry landing. Thumbs up! read more

The family decided to visit this park while vacationing in the area. It was the perfect spot for our 2 year old to burn off some energy and play with some other kids his age. The play structures were all in great shape, and well designed. There are large grassy areas to run or walk in the shade. A large sandbox sits next to the structures and seems to be popular. read more

Spreckels Park - Parks Near Me - Coronado, California

Located in the heart of Coronado, the picturesque Spreckels Park is perfect for a lazy afternoon. The playground is often full of kids & parents. The swings are great for the littles (bucket seats for babies) & the bigs! The summer concerts in the park fill up the entire space. Sundays you need to stake out your space hours early. The gazebo is very nice, makes a great bandstand. The grounds are kept clean and the grass is soft, most of the time. The bathrooms could use some work but they will do if absolutely necessary. I often come across kids pulling out the grass. The park needs grass unless you like to run & play in the mud. In that case, take your kids elsewhere. The beach has plenty of dirt/sand for you to play in & it's right down the street. Also, the little ones running around unsupervised...I know we all feel safe here but please keep an eye on your children. You never know what can happen. I've seen kids taken away by ambulance. Unsuspecting parents just on the other side of the park, no idea what's going on. read more

I don't come to Coronado often, but I wish to make more trips soon. This park is so relaxing and for the holiday, there's bands in the gazebo playing and it gets pretty packed. There's restaurants nearby so if you plan on renting bikes for the day, this would be the perfect pit stop rest area. Great for picnics and kids to run around and play! read more

We went to this park just for the playground. There was plenty of space next to it to put down a blanket with 20 something other mom's. The park is well kept. The play ground has two seperate structures making it great for a large variety of ages. My 15 month old had no problem finding something to do and having a great time. read more

This is such a great park. Love going to Coronado for the day. Great vibe here. This park is in walking distance to all kinds of shopping and restaurants. The library is across the street and one of the best in the country. There is also an awesome park for the kids to play at. No dogs off leash though. read more

Nice, open park in the heart of Coronado. Nicely maintained, with lots of soft, green grass, trees to provide shade, a lovely gazebo, plenty of picnic tables, and a fun sand-filled playground. Conveniently located near the lawn bowling center and the library and a short walk to the restaurants and shops in the downtown area. This is a great play area for kids, or a nice place to hang out and enjoy a lazy afternoon outdoors with friends. read more

Trees. Huge trees. Providing just the kind of shade you might need for some down time between beach visits. The park is small (a city block). It's not a tourist destination in and of itself. But it has a picturesque gazebo at its core and a nice playground for the kids. On this day, there were a few more kids than the playground could truly hold, a bit of a problem. There was also evidence of an earlier wedding reception perhaps. Fun. Tomorrow? A spaghetti dinner benefiting local firefighters. In summary, Spreckels Park is more of a place to benefit locals than tourists, but it's a shady refuge that any visitor could enjoy for a break from their vacation. read more

Great park for a lazy day outside. Plenty of green space and pretty good playground area for ages 2+ or so. Not much for the wee-ones though if they aren't big enough to climb a little. There are also swings (including ones with the bucket seats for small kids). Easily accessible, bathrooms on site, walkable! All plusses for this park. read more

This park has over one hundred different trees, restrooms and a play ground for children. Today the park is hosting the Coronado flower show and friends of the library book sale. I just walked by and they're just setting out the wonderful books. I absolutely love this park they have so many wonderful events here. They also host a music in the park which always has the best line up ever! Check out the Coronado website for more information about this park. read more

One of the best playgrounds in SD for small kids. The library is across the street, so it makes for a nice excursion!

Great little park for the summer concerts. Come here every Sunday to hang out with the family and listen to the music. They have a little park for the kids. Just make sure to watch yours because it can get pretty busy. There are a few bullies out there that like to throw the wood chips at others. BOO... read more

Nice park, very green with a lot of room to do cool things . Doesn't stink, no bums everywhere and is a perfect place to organize community and volunteer activities . Or could also toss the pig skin read more

Awesome park for kids with disabilities! Ground is completely hard and flat (no sand or wood chips like everywhere else!). Low playground equipment. And a swing for kids that can't sit themselves up. Not a prefect accessible park but much better than most! read more

I love spending weekdays here for some time alone to get some perspective with a book or a puzzle- It is shaded and quiet! But the best time to enjoy this park is on Sunday evenings in summer for the Coronado Concert in The Park Series! I usually stake a spot around 4pm with a blanket, a chair and a bottle of wine (yes, alcohol is allowed). The outside edge of grass on the park is set up for those who want to bring their dogs to the concert! The concerts usually start at 7pm but Navy band sometimes goes on beforehand - so be sure to see them! We are in San Diego after all! Parking can get tough- the best thing I have done was park by Sacred Heart Church early and leave before traffic jams you in over the bridge around 8pm. Note: A good way to pack your items in Coronado is a Costco small prop up picnic table and deck it out with anything PATRIOTIC!!! This is free all summer long, every Sunday! read more
