About this adventure
Flanking the historic 1938 San Diego County Administration Building along the downtown bayfront, the 12-acre Waterfront Park is San Diego's premier urban civic green space. Perfect for working off Thanksgiving feasts, the park features expansive grass picnic lawns, wide bayside promenades for scooters and strollers, and an award-winning children's play area with futuristic climbing domes, spiral slides, rope towers, and inclusive swings set over cushioned rubber turf. Interactive shallow water fountain jets provide splash fun during warm autumn afternoons, while panoramic vistas of San Diego Bay and the Maritime Museum's historic Star of India sailing ship provide a scenic maritime backdrop.
