Naval Training Center Park

With long spanning pathways, multiple playgrounds and large grassy areas this park is great for families to get together. It boasts a view of the water as well. There are restrooms on site and two parking lots surrounding the park.

Nice place to walk, jogging, playing with kids, have a party, and watch the departing flights over your heads.

We have been visiting Liberty Station over the years and have never walked in this park. It had the 52 Boats Memorial which was interesting and worth reading. It is a well kept park and clean park. It is dog friendly. We walked along the water which had was an awesome view.. It was interesting seeing the military boot camp and the airplanes taking off from San Diego

We just come to do my Dad last wish and mom was sharing las moments with us about there time living in poin loma. he was a navy 1969

Family friendly. Lots of open space for bike riding. It gets windy there so prepare for that. Age appropriate play structures. Bathrooms are okay. Wish they had more throughout the property. Food places nearby. Water front views.

Great place for a picnic and gathering, whether for families or larger groups. The local Australian expat community holds our annual Australia Day gathering here and it's always a lot of fun. Great facilities and plenty of space for recreational activities.

Liberty Station is such an amazing place. Whether you are looking to grab a bite to eat or are just looking for a nice peaceful place to take a walk or sit and read a book. There are so many great restaurants to grab a drink or sit and get a bite to eat. Location wise Liberty Station is in a great space, right by the water. There is also a Public type market where there is so much to choose from various local vendors and eateries. There is literally something for everyone amongst the many vendors inside the market and surrounding areas. One of our favorite standalone locations is Con Pane. They have great sandwiches and baked goods (the butterscotch latte is amazing). Not only are there plenty of places to eat and shop there is so much rich history surrounding Liberty Station. I would suggest taking a picnic or grabbing a coffee/tea and the family and take a walk around the park. There is a lot to take in and learn about its history. No matter what the weather is like it is always beautiful down there and it is always an enjoyable day. We were there Sunday for the Best Buddies walk and literally as we were walking the path you could smell the roses along the path. It was so soothing and relaxing.

Beautiful Bohemian themed baby shower at this magnificent park. There was even 5 star hotels such as Courtyards by Marriott, Hampton Inn and Hilton just to name a few that fully enhanced the elegance of the park scenery by provided kayaking. I even got in a chance to teach my 2 year grandson how to skip rocks. Besides the the park is HUGE. It was a perfect Saturday and every type of party you could think of was enjoyed by all. The park also has paved bike lanes along the shore enjoyed by roller bladers as well. Restrooms were clean too. People please remember to keep your dog on a leash.. Not everyone welcomes a strangers dog sniffing around their food. Keep your dogs germs to yourself.

Nice and big park in heart of SD. Its great for picnic, gathering and events...Today, there were many different events and everywhere was filled with tents, music and happy faces. Its very close by to airport so it was hard to avoid the loud noise of airplanes landing and take offs. They had great play ground for kids and the most important thing it is water front so you can enjoy great view. Plenty parking if outside but if you are attending an event just like us today, finding the event is real headache by address that they are providing! Its a very big and ling park!

We arrived here to check out the Annual Juneteenth Celebration that a few community organizations host. Compared to the staple Cooper's Family Juneteenth Celebration in San Diego that has been running for about 40 years, this was is starting to become a hit with some families. The setup of Liberty Station allows open park spaces that can be transformed into mass attended event venues. There several park areas/fields for mass events. The issue with Liberty Station when multiple events take place, is the parking availability. The Juneteenth Event here was also happening at the same time as a "Truck Rodeo" and another major event as well. The parking was 4 lots away and about a half mile walk to Juneteenth. The location also has Liberty Public Market, which is a renowned food hall with many great eateries inside. The people and car traffic from this awesome place is also very hefty. If you see a parking spot, take it, because you may not find another one for a while. I love coming here because almost everything you experience at the mass events is worth the congested parking and long walks.

Liberty Station is one of my favorite (if not my top favorite) spots in San Diego! I recently held a birthday picnic celebration with friends at this park and it was absolutely perfect. The grassy areas are so big that you'll always be able to find a spot no matter when you go. Some areas have more trees to provide shade than others but there's plenty of room. There are also areas with multiple picnic tables, and a playground as well. We arrived at 2pm on a Saturday and there was plenty of space to settle down under a tree for a group of ~40 people. It's the perfect place to go for a picnic or stroll especially with the Public Market so close by!

There is so much to like about Liberty Station and its merchants and restaurants! From great coffee at Moniker to special wine flights at Carruth Wine Shop there is so much to enjoy. And now the Christmas tree has been lit and it's a good holiday fun day to enjoy! So many different and delicious food stops!

Liberty Station Park is one of my favorite places to go for a nice walk, kayak, paddle board in the water , bike, etc. Any time of the day is beautiful. The park is clean, perfect for a nice picnic or even for a gathering with friends. The views are stunning, mesmerizing and tranquil. The only thing is the planes pass thru and it can be a lot for the ears. I bring my ear plugs to protect my ears from the piercing sounds.

Such a beautiful park and I am glad we visited during Veterans day. The park was decorated with flags and paid tribute to all the ships in the United States Navy. We saw the volunteers putting them away for the night so that was a sight to see. As you can see in the pics that I posted, it was definitely a great memory. Other than the tribute walkway, there are huge grass areas. We saw people doing yoga/meditation and dogs playing with their masters. There is a boat launch nearby so you can see the boats in the marina. Planes fly over the park since the airport is on the other side of the marina. This park is really great for a picnic, photo shoot, and just to take in the sun. I am pretty sure you can find something to do while you are there. There is plenty of parking all around so no need to worry about that.

Beautiful calm park along the SD Bay A few homeless people among the statutes But the park is nice clean and peaceful

Used to frequent this park years ago. Haven't had the time or reason to visit until recently. Such a beautiful park. Well maintained and clean. It also feels safe. Sand filled play areas with swings and monkey bars. Wall climbing sections and tons of open grassy space. With many parking spots and a cool breeze from the surrounding water, it's an ideal place for a walk or just to sit and relax on a bench. If you're hungry you can make your way over to the marketplace literally walking distance. I'll be back soon because my kids love the park

Huge park which is perfect for any occasion from family picnic to a day out just to explore Liberty Station, walk your dog, etc. I never had any problem finding parking here, might take some walks, but there was always a spot that open for you. I attended so many events around the park, from 48 hours film kick off where they participating in film making, to the latest Festival Del Caribe fundraiser, I mean the tickets were $75 a pop without any food or drink tickets but it was for a great cost, so why not. They have a lot of activities in the park, you will never get bored visiting this part of town, they got food trucks, vendors all kinds, and of course some historical landmarks.

My son and his girlfriend asked me to choose a place to go for my birthday, I chose Liberty Station. I've only been there once long time ago but I still remember how beautiful it was to walk around. And, instead of going to a sit down restaurant for lunch, I chose to look around the Liberty Station Market and try out different kinds of food. It was so much fun!! We got to try 3 kinds of food and it was amazing! I definitely recommend for everyone to go and visit. A Great and friendly place for families.

Nice park across the street from the public market and along the water. This seemed like a very popular place to take kids and they had a large playground. There were lots and lots of friendly ground squirrels, who seem to be used to people feeding them. They also had bathrooms here. Not super clean and no hand soap.

Tourist Tip: Merge this with stops at Cabrillo National Park, USS Midway/ floating maritime museums, and/or Seaport Village for a fun day along San Diego's water front. This should be a stop for anyone visiting our great city of San Diego. Parking is free! Located at the historic Naval Boot Camp, the area has been transformed and refurbished to bring in restaurants, breweries, tourist shops, and desert shops. If you went to boot camp here, I can understand the hesitation, it's nothing like boot camp now. If you're here to eat; there are several restaurants I.e. Stone Brewery, Slatter's 50/50, Corvette Diner, etc. If your party is indifferent, may I suggest The Public Market. The Market is sort of a food court with cuisine covering the spread of Asian, American, Mexican, and Indian. If history is more your speed; there are sidewalks and paths to walk along and read plaques about the Naval history from decades ago. Submarine plaques by the water (closest to the airport) was astonishing to how many crews never returned from their patrols. Everything at NTC has been done to merge the new with the old. The airport is just down the street. Usually our airport is the start, or end, of a person's trip. If you find yourself with a delay or a layover, NTC is close enough for a quick side trip. (I wouldn't waste the time walking, it may be a few hundred yards as the crow flies. Taking streets/sidewalks, it's about 3 miles away). Ride share companies are plentiful enough to make it there and back. I hope you all enjoy NTC as much as we do!

A wonderful park with plenty of open spaces for picnics. Landscaping is charming. Near The LB food courts. My only ding is its proximity to the airport.

Amazing park ! Sadly, it's quite a ways from me, but highly recommend checking it out! Location/setting: Heart of Liberty Station in Point Loma! Plenty of parking with small lots throughout the park. Public restrooms are well-maintained. They really ensure the grassy area is taken care of and the park is clean. It's a peaceful and chill spot to grab a book to read, people watch, enjoy the water, or watch the planes fly by. There are nearby stores and restaurants at the Public market. I used to work in the area and would grocery shop at Trader Joe's during my break. The walkway is wide, open, and leveled so you can roller-skate, bike, walk/run or skateboard. There's plenty of activities for kids and two playgrounds onsite. I noticed this park was a popular spot for dog walking and along the water people were paddle boarding and kayaking. Perfect spot on a beautiful San Diego day! I attended a Baby Shower for a friend and automatically noticed the open spaces available for events, picnics, and bbqs. There were many gatherings, but everyone had enough privacy and space. It's also one of the few places where alcohol is allowed. The scenery is beautiful and peaceful with some historic pastimes of what the military base once was. They also have a memorial to pay tribute to those who fought in WWII. You definitely get a sense of history here. Overall, this is a must-see for locals and out of towners. I love San Diego!

This park is a nice waterfront greenspace at the eastern edge of Liberty Station, essentially facing San Diego International Airporst across the water. It is nice to walk along the water here, and it's a nice picnic spot. You can access it from either Womble, Faragut, or Roosevelt Roads. We park in the lot at the end of Womble when we come here.

I LOVE Liberty Station NTC Park. It is my absolute go-to spot to bring the family and kiddos. Although it is a bit of a drive for me, I love to come here because there is so much open area to roam around whether its to have a picnic on the grass or tables, plenty of space to get some exercise or walk through the trails, or just to even enjoy the sights of beautiful San Diego. The kids love the playgrounds and there are plenty of food options available in the area. The area is generally very clean, well maintained and there is plenty of parking nearby. Definitely recommend a visit here and it is also a great spot to bring visitors not from San Diego. Check it out!

Great park! I always bring visitors from out of town here for the views, lovely markets and eateries. It used to be one of the only places you could drink alcohol without a permit. I'm not sure if it's still legal, but 4-5 years ago it was fine. It's a great place to go for a run, have a picnic, grab food from some great local restaurants or simply take a nice stroll. Tons of parking

Very pleasant park. Came here to lounge on the grass and write. Aside from being hounded by ants (expected in the grass), I had a lovely time. Clean, well-maintained. Ample parking throughout the park (smaller lots). Adorable squirrels playing in the rocks by the water. Even saw a crane.

II have been to Liberty Station a few times but not to the NTC park. Went yesterday for a company picnic. This is a good park with plenty of open space for activities, sports, etc.and there are some trees with limited shade Brought chairs with covering that worked for me. Other brought canopies shade. There is a large public bathroom and it does the job, but not as clean as other bathrooms Clean park with great views, and water close by in the bay for water sports. Excellent place to relax and watch planes taking off from San Diego airport. They can be a little loud and distracting but you get used to it eventually unless you are trying to have a conversation. There is plenty to see and do at the park, but of course there is plenty of places to eat nearby with all of the restaurants. Getting to this location on a weekend can be a hassle since getting off of the 5 freeway merges on to a very busy road and everything is backed up for miles. But if you make the effort it is worth it.

Liberty Station is such an amazing place. Whether you are looking to grab a bite to eat or are just looking for a nice peaceful place to take a walk or sit and read a book. There are so many great restaurants to grab a drink or sit and get a bite to eat. Location wise Liberty Station is in a great space, right by the water. There is also a Public type market where there is so much to choose from various local vendors and eateries. There is literally something for everyone amongst the many vendors inside the market and surrounding areas. One of our favorite standalone locations is Con Pane. They have great sandwiches and baked goods (the butterscotch latte is amazing). Not only are there plenty of places to eat and shop there is so much rich history surrounding Liberty Station. I would suggest taking a picnic or grabbing a coffee/tea and the family and take a walk around the park. There is a lot to take in and learn about its history. No matter what the weather is like it is always beautiful down there and it is always an enjoyable day. We were there Sunday for the Best Buddies walk and literally as we were walking the path you could smell the roses along the path. It was so soothing and relaxing.

Love this park... Plenty of parking and clean. Lots of grassy well maintained fields. 2 playgrounds for 2 age groups. Sand at the playground for kids to play in. Lots of benches and tables for picnics. dirt/cement paths along the water, great for a nice walk and jog. Walking distance to the restaurants and shops.

Beautiful space, lots of room to play with the kids or walk the dog. Nice place to get fresh air. There's a friendly stray cat I see sometimes here, he likes to come out and be pet sometimes. There's also a memorial for those who died in World War II. Overall a very beautiful space here in San Diego.

Came here on Saturday morning for a Halloween Festival they were holding which started at 11 am. There were food trucks, a car show, a live band that played music and plenty of candy and activities for the kids. My hubby ended up taking more photos as I enjoyed the music and scenery of the park. It was a nice day to be at the park under the shade. There was an art gallery from where I was sitting on a bench. There were also several shops around. The Comic Kazy store was giving out a free kids comic book. The Art Studio was handing out candy to the kids who were dressed up. There was even a Halloween contest ranging from ages 2 to 62. LOL! That is what the guy on the microphone said. We didn't stay long as it was getting hotter during the day. My daughter really enjoyed herself at the park checking out other kid's costumes. This was a great event for families. We will be back next year if they hold this event again.

This is a gorgeous park. I participated in a MADD walk here over the weekend. It rained the first hour and a half we were out there, just about until the walk started. This is a wide open space, with a lot of walk space, sports space, and beautiful water. People were BBQing, playing soccer games, doing other walks... it was just beautiful. I bet in nicer weather it is even more gorgeous. I would love to drive down here again and BBQ and hang out for the day. It was very clean and well taken care of. There were a decent amount of restrooms as well. They were like beach restrooms, and I decided not to use them, but at least they were there!

I love coming to this place. It's ginormous and it can be a fun filled day for everyone! For the adults they have golf, restaurants, brewery, and a marketplace that has more food and more beer!! There are also a few art museums and an 1800's woman museum. It has a theater were you can order while you watch. There is also a walk/run trail that runs along the San Diego Bay (approximately 1.5 miles one way). Along this trail is where you'll find things for the kids as well. They have standup paddle boards, a few playgrounds for the kids, lots of squirrels running around, bikes to rent and a Navy ship (2/3 scale) that was used for training purposes. Unfortunately, you are not able to climb onto the ship, but you are able to touch it. The park is located right next door to the San Diego airport so if your sensitive to noise I would suggest you bring some ear plugs if your going to be outside (just incase). Other than that I love seeing the different types of planes flying overhead. Whether your on a date, family outing, by yourself or with your pet, this place is perfect for everyone!

Everything but the pause...or...what did you say? Perhaps, you can go and experience this and all the other great experiences that occur or that are executed at Liberty Station NTC Park. The husband and I have been to a 5K charity run, a Hawaiian cultural event, an expressive arts tour, a book signing party and most recently a a conference on aging. Who knows what's next - a Yelp party perhaps? NTC Park makes great use of their property in all instances. This property is historic and is mixed use (both things I love)! This is also my favorite spot for Stone Brewery - partly due to the outside movies... Oops...I think I missed something important...a plane just flew by!

This is one of my favorite places to come for walks and exercise. Not only because of the nice trails and park, but because it right on the water, where it stays cool, and most importantly, it is surrounded my great eateries! Always a plus in my book. The park is always well groomed and the trails are very well maintained (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/liberty-station-ntc-park-san-diego?select=4KkDc4BSfH8OLS5omKiuoQ#yp7KHLqlMk4OwaHcomkHsw) and the trail are smooth and even, so it limits ankle twisting events. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/liberty-station-ntc-park-san-diego?select=4KkDc4BSfH8OLS5omKiuoQ#4KkDc4BSfH8OLS5omKiuoQ) There is plenty of playground equipment for the children, and clean areas for BBQ and picnicking. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/liberty-station-ntc-park-san-diego?select=4KkDc4BSfH8OLS5omKiuoQ#0HynNovq-wVLe02H-MjSTg) I've only used the restrooms once, but I was sure glad they were there and they too are maintained well enough. Towards the east side neat Liberty Station Lookout, it cane get noisy, given the passenger airlines are taking off just across the water heading over head, but it is not as bad the more west you go o the park. So, join me on a walk, run, or ride, and then hit up one of the local eateries in the area.

Truly an urban oasis. A waterfront park with so many goodies! NTC Park at Liberty Station is fantastic. Developers could have effed this up and crammed tons of useless junk in the area, which is roughly 3-4 city square blocks. I'm glad that they used their resources wisely to redesign this section of the former Naval Training Center into something to be shared and appreciated by everyone. We came by on a lovely midweek afternoon and checked out most of what this place offers: long sidewalks stretches that frame an expanse of lush, green lawns, charcoal grills with picnic benches [http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/gP-9JhBzF9duK2drmZId5A?select=L805SP-C9x04m65qONjiZw], playground features [http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/gP-9JhBzF9duK2drmZId5A?select=RCx-6ObpqXkCIP1hVN9KRQ], and a couple of landmarks that pay homage to the US Navy's historic presence [http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/gP-9JhBzF9duK2drmZId5A?select=5natE6gmHjw0IFEJOpNLkw]. Just to put the park space into perspective, I saw several soccer teams practicing nearby and there was still plenty of open grassy field available to accommodate even more soccer teams, a pickup game of flag football, rugby, bocce ball, and enough space for people to throw a frisbee or drive a golf ball. I didn't notice any land mines (aka dog poop) in the lawn or along the unpaved running trails near the water [http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/gP-9JhBzF9duK2drmZId5A?select=8yRzuHWTirK2QqvjxyXf4g]. My only gripe is that the park lies close to the flight path of air traffic from the nearby airport. It doesn't affect the views so much, but the intermittent roaring engines from takeoff during the day might be distracting to some folks. Towards the northern end of the park, we noticed some memorials to WWII era submarines [http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/gP-9JhBzF9duK2drmZId5A?select=CLBQoXxmyWyBPCHKKPKlpA] and some pretty cool gun platforms. Not your pewpewpew guns, but rather the POW!POW!POW! variety [http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/gP-9JhBzF9duK2drmZId5A?select=2joi5i6e2CiLp0d-zLP_iw]. If you're looking for an all-purpose location to chill with friends and family, or a different place simply to soak up the sun, then swing by NTC Park. There's just enough old school and new jack goin' on here to satisfy almost any generation. Happy 4th of July, y'all! [http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/gP-9JhBzF9duK2drmZId5A?select=xOXOAjwYuHykRDd3a36vwA]

I don't live too far from here, but I love it every time I come here. I'm a super huge fan of the NTC area and the surrounding buildings gives it a melodic tune to the past time of what the Base once was. Almost somewhat wanting to go back in time witness NTC on what it used to be. Well, at least i do.

One of the challenges of the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) actions is what to do with military property returned to civilian hands. Many times these efforts flop despite the best intentions. But the successful ones can serve as role models when government, business and the citizenry put their heads together and come up with constructive and durable solutions. Liberty Station is one of these. The place where the old SD Naval Training Center stood is a mini city within a city. Despite the history, it is a forward looking place where shopping, residential, the arts, shopping, dining and recreation coexist in a generally upscale and open environment. Yes, some of these are chains and some are downright cheesy. There is a sure need for mass transit to connect to the airport and downtown. But overall, the place is a winning solution to what otherwise be a wasteland. On the business side, large corporations such as Boeing, ITT, BAE and Farmers Insurance have opened anchor offices which have attracted lawyers, realty, insurance and a myriad of support establishments and offices. Dining venues have sprouted all over. Marriott and Hilton are lodging providers. There is an active arts scene. And retail venues are numerous. I would give it five stars if they had mass transit. But otherwise it is an awesome place.

For our nation's 237th birthday, the girlfriend & I decided to come down to San Diego & celebrate with her family. Afterwards, we hung around for the whole weekend. San Diego is a big-time Navy town. So much so that even after turning over the former Naval Training Center to the City of San Diego, the Navy still retains a very large footprint & highly visible presence in the city. This was readily apparent to the girlfriend & I when we went for a stroll in Liberty Station NTC Park after a few hours of beer drinking over at Stone. That stroll turned in to a long walk which then became something of a cross-country hike. This park is freakin' huge! It's not just size & enormity that makes Liberty Station NTC Park exceptional. There's lots of spaces & trails for all sorts of outdoor activities. There's a nice playground/ sandbox for the kids. There's BBQ/ picnic areas. There's plenty of parking. & the entire vast expanse of the park is clean/ well maintained. During our travels around the park: we watched a kickball tournament, got some ice cream from an ice cream truck making the rounds, relaxed a while sitting on the soft grass & checked out the numerous US Navy dedications & memorials to fallen sailors. Liberty Station NTC Park is a really, really big & really great park. It's on former Navy land & its history shows. Fitting tribute for such a big-time Navy town.

This is my favorite park to run at! There's multiple bathrooms, a playground, and lots of field space for sports!

Each year, more stores, restaurants and things for the family to do are added to Liberty Station. It's a great place to stay and play.

I've been to Liberty Station many times throughout the years to visit the Liberty Public Market, for a wedding and just to stroll around for pictures. I have never been to the actual park along the waters edge until recently. I was pleasantly surprised to see that there is tons of parking and lots of grass open for sports activities, picnics and bbqs. There are two kids playgrounds one for small kids and one for bigger kids. There's sand so be prepared. Along the water, there is a cemented walkway and a dirt path. You'll find people paddle boarding and in kayaks. I noticed lots of people who brought their chairs and just people watched those in the water. The side walk along the water is nice and wide and plenty of room for people who want to walk or bike. A cool spot for families or anyone who just wants to be outdoors. Within walking distance is the Liberty Public market where you can grab a bite to eat and there's also a Vons and Trader Joe's in the plaza.

The EV Charging Only parking spaces continue to be taken over by non-electric cars. Management does absolutely nothing. Tow them!

One of the better parks in San Diego!!! My kids love the playground and they really like when the old dude with the huge bubbles is out there making bubbles for the kids. Not sure if he has a schedule or what, but he ends up having a ton of kids there waiting for the bubbles. The running trails are pretty cool too. And oh yeah the shops and food are dope!!! The food market is my favorite!!! The price of some of those things are ridiculous. Some are fair. If you have family visiting San Diego - bring them here!!!

If you haven't been to Liberty Station, get yourself down there! You can make a whole afternoon of it - walking around galleries, shops, restaurants and the grocery store! They made SUCH great use of the older Naval Training Station buildings! This is a great addition to our city, and something to take visiting friends and family to! Every time I am down there I find another "treasure!" Great restaurants- you can't begin to even touch all the businesses that are housed here! Take some time, go down, wander around, read a bit of the history of the place - take in a movie, eat some more, wander some more! You'll be happy you did!

Review from the kids: Lots of open areas of grass Nice view of the water/ nice running trail Good community Great kids park! Has a bathroom Rock wall Little kids area and big kids area Plenty of benches to sit on

I came here to check out the 10th Annual Doggie Street Festival and boy did I have a great time. My husband and I want to rescue a dog sometime in the near future and going to this event helped get our dog fix -- Current living situation doesn't allow us to have a dog :( . The park is pretty big and clean. It was super nice to see all these dogs enjoy the outdoors and grass. We even saw a good amount of dogs just rolling around in the grass. Loved it and had a great time.

took my dog here for a little meet and greet with other dogs. they were having an dog adoption fair at this park and it was pretty great. The park is very huge and very clean. loaded with clean grass and open space. The event was well put together.

My favorite park in San Diego. It can get busy during the weekends. There is a huge field used for activities and events. Come here often with my pup to stroll along the bay which starts at MCRD and opens into the ocean. They held the Wanderlust event here last weekend and it was fun. Many 5ks also take place at this park. I do prefer going on week days during less busy hours. There are a few parking lots which tend to have plenty of spots when I come.

What a great gift for the residents of this area, looks like the City does zero maintenance or up keep. Today is 5/5/19 drinking fountain is backed up and looks like no one cares to give it any maintenance. The fountain looks expensive but is beat up due to lack of maintenance. Bathrooms are typical and smell like urine everywhere. Play ground looks inviting but whoever maintains the landscape around the play area needs some training. Trash can s scattered throughout the area, but will most likely end up in the water since no one appears to be out to ever pick it up. Palm trees could use some cleanup and maybe a rake for these leaves. Would definitely recommend you come down to see this place its a gem for sure. Bbq areas appear to be off the hook today, plenty of tables for a picnic or hang out. FYI, it would probably be sweet to have a bird fountain, this sink is backed up and all the birds be stopping by.

My 6 year daughter had a blast riding her bike here. The roads were wide and leveled. The views of the water were cool as well!

Great long park along the waterway. There are paved (sidewalks) and unpaved paths that go on for distances and are great for flat hikes or strolls. Large green grassy areas that are used for all kinds of personal, family, group and organized outdoor activities.

Good park with lots of open space for field sports but no shade! Bring canopies for picnics and chairs. Bathroom have toilet paper but smells like a horse stable. Allow to have alcohol but not bottles. Clean park and have a river or lake/bay or whatever for river sports. Great for company picnics and field sports because of the endless grass space!

This park is nearly perfect! I stumbled upon it from the path at the back of the Homewood Suites. After being in a convention for a few days, this park was exactly what I needed to decompress and reconnect with nature. For someone traveling, the location of the park to the hotel couldn't have been more perfect. You appreciate the little things most especially when you're away from home. In this case, I'd like to bring a little of this park back home with me. I had to Google the location to find the park on Yelp. I had initially typed in "rose gardens" because that's what I remember most about it. Absolutely gorgeous roses to literally stop and smell. Regarding the name, I actually don't remember a sign saying the name. Maybe I had entered from an area where the sign is not posted. There definitely should be one because this park is a real gem. The only thing I missed was being able to walk an entire loop around the water. Other than that, this is a lovely area to walk, relax, and take in the gorgeous skies (as well as spectacular views of the planes taking off from the nearby airport).

Gotta love all the free, great parks in San Diego including Liberty Station NTC Park! It's located in Point Loma and sits on a large plot of land that used to be barracks for the military. Pros: - HUGE, open park with plenty to do (museums, small stores, playground for kids, bike paths, large grass fields to play sports) - Lots of places to park and FREE - Reasonably clean bathrooms - Lots of places to eat within walking distance (Cold Stone, Luna Grill, Starbucks, Trader Joe's, etc.) - You can see airplanes heading towards the San Diego Airport go by at a close distance PEOPLE, YOUR DOG MUST BE ON A LEASH!!! All dogs must be on a leash in any public park or you can get ticketed. Only negative, I bet this place gets crowded and busy on a nice sunny weekend or during an event. Traffic in and out of Point Loma can get congested so be prepared.

WOW, so beautiful!!! I have always heard about this place, and finally got the opportunity to walk the grounds a bit. The grassy areas were so green and plentiful. Lots of picnics, kids running around, play areas and festivities were happening. A great way to spend a sunny SD afternoon. The areas were well maintained and kept. Ample parking in the lots or along the street. Very quiet and pristine. You wouldn't have guessed there is very busy street a few blocks down. There is a shopping center nearby as well. A hidden gem. It's just a shame that it's a drive to get to from my area.

Why I haven't I visited this area much more often? Why aren't my friends suggesting areas to eat in this area? I believe that this place used to be some kind of military training camp back in the day. Recently I've watched San Diego invest some time into this local area to create a new hip spot for families and friends to dine and socialize. Spots like Soda & Swine, Tender Greens, and Corvette Diner have established their roots here. There have been a few events that I've seen hosted here as well. Right next to all the shops/restaurants is a large park overlooking a body of water (harbor? jetty? what would you call it?). Enough space for walking/running, playing football or soccer, or having a birthday party. The best part is the amount of parking spaces there is! There are much more places to park than Balboa Park, Downtown, and La Jolla Cove. I love it. I see this place becoming one of San Diego's "the spot" to hang out at. So watch out - I may be checking in much more often in the near future.
