The park is located just a short distance from the Pacific Ocean in beautiful Del Mar, offering stunning views of the coast and miles of north county communities.
From the park, you can look out to see the coast and miles of north county communities, and look down to see large open lawns lined with mature trees.
The area was originally inhabited by Native Americans, now called the Kumeyaay. During the Spanish period of California, the park land was operated as a “Rancheria” by the padres of the San Diego Mission for the grazing of cattle.
In 1954, 100 acres of hilltop and canyon land covered in chaparral was donated to the County of San Diego from the Rancho Santa Fe Irrigation District. This land was developed into the park we have today.
The upper park was opened in 1965, and the lower park was opened later.
