San Juan Park

History and Setting

Established in 1954, this 1.7-acre green space is nestled in the quiet San Juan Community, offering visitors a tranquil retreat from the bustling city life.

As you approach the park along San Juan Drive, you'll be greeted by towering eucalyptus trees that line the street, providing a scenic entrance to the park. These majestic trees, which reveal the park's 60-year heritage, create a lush and shaded environment even during the summer months.

Recreational Opportunities

The park primarily serves the neighboring residents, providing a pleasant green space for relaxation and casual recreational activities. Its well-maintained grassy areas are ideal for picnicking, playing catch, or simply enjoying the outdoors.

While compact in size, San Juan Park offers enough space for visitors to engage in various leisure activities or simply unwind in a natural setting.

Walking Trails

San Juan Park is also notable for its connection to local walking trails. It serves as a staging area for at least four interesting walks in the surrounding area, including a loop that follows abandoned railroad tracks.

This "railroad loop" offers impressive views of tall trees and dense vegetation, making it particularly appealing for morning hikes when visitors can enjoy the shade provided by the park's abundant foliage.
