Spreckels Park

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.

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.

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.

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 6^th and 7^th 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.

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.

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.

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.

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…

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 7^th 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.
