“Steps from the heart of the Gaslamp Quarter and San Diego’s Convention Center, South Embarcadero Park offers an open grassy area perfect for enjoying the city’s skyline, as well as a public pier where anglers can cast a line. A little oasis in the heart of the city… just my speed!” Sandbag C. Gull
Remember quarters for the meters in the parking area located at this park, or better yet just check it out by bicycle. The paved path following the coastline offers spectacular views of Coronado, San Diego and the Bay!
