Presidio Park is a historic park in San Diego. It is the site where San Diego was founded in 1769. In 1773 the mission (see San Diego Mission blog posted 2/17/16) moved a few miles upriver while the fort remained on Presidio Hill. The Junípero Serra Museum, built in Presidio Park in 1925, is one of the most familiar landmarks in San Diego. The grounds of the park are sweeping with beautiful vistas of rolling hills and palm trees. There is plenty of space for picnics and there are many groomed trails ready to help you explore the park. Historic markers, statues and ruins are everywhere prepared to share with you the stories of San Diego’s infancy. I have never had a problem finding parking in Presidio Park and Old Town is a short half mile walk South if you prefer to grab a bite to eat there. When you RetireInSanDiego Presidio Park is a must see.
