Spreckels Park is the local community park in Coronado at the intersection of 6th and Orange. There is a children's playground, bathrooms, and a band stand that is used for free concerts during the summer months - Memorial Day week-end to Labor Day. The concerts generally begin at 6 pm and people picnic on the grass and enjoy music and socializing with their friends/family. Donations to offset the concerts are always welcome. There are picnic tables with benches available on a first come basis, and the park hosts birthday parties, weddings and other events.
We enjoyed the free concert in the park this past weekend. Great entertainment while enjoying a picnic. Lovely evening, family friendly.
This is a nice attraction loated in Balboa Park. Yesterday they were having the unveiling of their pipe organ. It was not scheduled until 7:30 p.m so we missed it. We did however walk around and we did hear, what I believe was the musician, warming up. What a rich sound that organ has
Nothing outstanding here! OK for families and kids who dont needa lot of facilities. Parking can be challenging. Not worth a special trip.
We have been to concerts, art shows and other events here. It's a nice park. When there's nothing going on in the park we sometimes just go there to eat or sit and relax. It's safe and clean.
A peaceful, pretty oasis in the middle of Coronado. Enjoy sitting on the park benches and watching the park's palms and other trees sway in the breeze.
There was an evening concert with a military band one evening. Very nice and friendly. The center of the park as a large gazebo where the band was set up
This park is on the main street, Orange Ave, in the middle of the town. It is across from the Library and has a small town feel. The playground is great for young kids. There is a gazebo where bands play on Sunday evenings all summer long. Some Sundays there are art sales where local artists sell their wares. You can have birthday parties and special get-togethers there with no permit required. Just get in early to claim your area. A relaxing, well cared for spot with lots of trees and shade.
My favorite park in San Diego is on Coronado Island. It is the setting for art shows, concerts, and lazy summer picnic days. The children's playground is exciting, interesting, and safe. Parents actually supervise their own children and join in the fun. The Catholic church across the street offers visitors a place of worship on Saturday at 5 and Sunday for regular services. Always in pristine condition, the park is truly a community treasure.
During the summer months, Spreckels Park is the venue for wonderful Sunday evening concerts. The gazebo in the middle of the park has hosted the Navy West Band, Marine Jazz Band, and many other wonderful bands. Locals and wanna be residents tote their picnic baskets, chairs and blankets for a fun filled evening of entertainment.
