Bay View Park

I enjoyed my visit to this charming, cozy and relaxing park so much! My first visit was at night which offered such spectacular views of the San Diego skyline that I had to come back and see what it looked like during the daytime the following day. Our initial reason for stopping by was because our fur baby, Brownie was with us and she needed a potty break and dogs are allowed here at Bay View Park. You park along the street (obeying all posted signs naturally) and bringing a blanket is a good idea. This is a small park with 4 benches. The benches all face the water so you get a nice view of the scenery, but I’m going to bring a blanket next time and have a picnic on the grass. I liked watching the different boats go by on the water and there were plenty of good photo opportunities.

Beautiful, Intimate, Serene, Quiet, and yes super Relaxing.
Bayview Park has it all and much, much, more. But what can be more perfect than the breathtaking view of the San Diego Skyline. And what a gorgeous view it is. Whether you come here in the daytime or nighttime, you will not be disappointed with the views to include Downtown San Diego’s many landmarks, like Petco Park, the Convention Center, and Seaport Village.
The park is small with only about 4 benches, but you would rather bring a blanket and a good book to read and you enjoy the sound of the ocean and the waves crashing against the shore, as you feel the breeze of the ocean. You can literally lose yourself in your thoughts as well. Quite peaceful and very beautiful.

Overall:
Great little park to view the San Diego skyline in Coronado.
Notes:
4 benches and a good distance apart for keeping things intimate. Came at night and the view of the San Diego skyline is beautiful. Little bunnies roam around. Love the smell of the bay. Only downside a few kids started smoking in the corner and it wasn’t a pleasant smell. Pretty sure that doesn’t happen often though.

Relaxing tourist spot with great views of SD and the waters. It’s a great place for a picnic as well.

Cute little spot in Coronado Island. It is a hidden gem. You get to see an amazing view of the San Diego downtown!

Special quaint local spot on Coronado with gorgeous view of Downtown San Diego, Coronado Bridge and Naval Ships across the way.

Very nice SMALL park. Shaded by trees throughout. A few nice benches along the water, also shaded. We actually saw a seal swimming in front of us. Its a great place to watch the life of the bay roll by. Great view of downtown skyline.

I love coming to the Bay View Park. This park is not too big, but it is a great park to come and sit on the benches or hangout on the beautiful tree and watch the sail boats go by. I have only been here twice and I know I will be back again. Also it is a fun place to come and take pictures with downtown San Diego in the background.
If you end up staying on Coronado or just visiting Coronado for the day, you should check out Bay View Park.

This little park is the most super romantic & cute place ever!
Whether you want to enjoy a temporary escape to a quiet place or spend time with your significant other, this is definitely the place to do it. This park is relatively small but the view is spectacular. There are 4 benches scattered around and a small grassy area as well and every time I’ve gone (at night), there’s usually a bench open.
This place is really accessible and there’s free street parking in the residential areas. There’s a sign that says the park is closed 11p-​4a but I’m not sure how regulated it is.

How cute is this place? This small park was fairly empty when we went to it, which was surprising because there is a wonderful view of the city from here! Parking was easy on a nearby street. I would recommend a quick visit here if you are nearby.

What a charming little park! Home to a couple of trees and benches, plenty of grass, and an amazing view, this park is the definition of a hidden gem. It is tucked away far from the tourists, perfect for stumbling upon or sharing with a friend.
It’s very small, really only room enough for a picnic, quick photo shoot, or to sit and look at the view of downtown San Diego. That’s what makes it so cute; it is simple and uncrowded.

So serene! I love parks like this ! Such a nice place to just come clear your head & listen to the waves crash against rocks. It really is just beautiful

Cutest place ever!!! The view is absolutely breathtaking. I love it.
Anywho… don’t come here expecting a big playground with swings or anything. It’s a small neighborhood park with a few benches that overlooks the city’s buildings and people parasailing and boating. If you’re feeling adventurous you can climb on the rocks and attempt your way down to the water.
Perfect spot for a picnic date. Supes cute. LOVE LOVE LOVE.

This «small» park has an amazing view of San Diego downtown directly across the bay. It is so peaceful and serene just to sit at the benches, read a book or write a journal; not as crazy crowded like the main Coronado Beach or Coronado Dog Beach. It is a nice place to go for a intimate picnic. It is really a little hidden gem in Coronado Island, San Diego.

My hidden little gem in Coronado!
The hubs and I were looking for a wedding ceremony venue and came upon this park.
We got married here a month after we found it.
Super beautiful, super romantic :)

A tiny used-​to-​be-​secret park with a giant view… my favorite in all of San Diego. The downtown skyline. This is the perfect place to bring a date, a blanket, and a Sprite bottle filled with a better tasting clear liquid. Are you listening, guys? This place is R-​O-​M-​A-​N-​T-​I-​C. If you go to my profile and click on my website, you’ll find a very special date that can take place here. All you have to do is follow the directions and I guarantee you’ll have one happy sweetheart.

So glad we ran into this place while taking a bike ride on Coronado island. While this isn’t exactly a huge place to let your dog or your kids run free, it’s a quaint little spot with an awesome view of San Diego bay and down town, tucked right in the middle of a couple of shore front properties on the bay side.
Come here with your favorite gal on a clear night or day for a nice romantic spot to take it all in. Bring a basket of snacks and drinks, throw down a blanket and have a little picnic. It’s one of those spots your date is sure not to forget!
Happy Unilocaling! :-)

This is a mostly hidden little spot in Coronado that I don’t even recall how I found. If you live near here it’s really quite a special spot to get away from the main touristy stretch of Coronado Beach, but if you’re just visiting it’s also a great location to get some shots of the bay looking towards San Diego, as well as sailboats passing through the marina (and some Navy warships if you’re lucky). I got some awesome photos down here, which were unfortunately lost in the camera accident that wiped out most of my first week in San Diego, along with my entire trip to Las Vegas. Fortunately I snagged a few with my Nexus for posterity.
Don’t come here expecting much of an actual park atmosphere… it really is just a few trees, a couple benches, and a little grassy area to lay down a blanket perhaps. But, if you’ve got a good book and an hour or two to relax then it’s an ideal quiet location to soak in some sun. I wouldn’t exactly call this a destination worth making a trip for, especially if you’re an out of towner, but if you’re in the area you should definitely take advantage of it. Personally, I chose to use it as the place to finish off (
) Terry Pratchett’s «Snuff».
The GPS is pretty accurate in finding the locale, and parking should be easy since it’s mostly residential, but pay careful attention to the times listed as they can be quite restricted in certain areas.

I love this little park. It’s on the east side of Coronado, so you see into downtown of San Diego, which is a lovely sight to see. I usually take people who come visit me here during their trip.
It’s a really small park and there are only 2 benches. It’s right between 2 houses. There is a good amount of parking on the street, but make sure to read the signs for times to park. On your north is Naval base Coronado, so if there are any carriers in port, you are in for a treat. Also, this is a perfect place to see ships go in and out of the harbor.

True Story: I accidentally found this place by accident.
Back in 2004, I was on my way to Coronado base to meet up with my recruiter, but I couldn’t get in so I had to wait for my recruiter to come out and get me. I really had to use the bathroom REALLY BAD! I remember seeing a Port-​A-​Potty on my way to the base. I couldn’t wait any longer, so I drove back to where I saw the Port-​A-​Potty (the house next to the park was under construction). Parked, trespassed, and ran straight in there. Painted the toilet and ALMOST dropped my car keys in there!!! LOL!
So ever since then, this was the place to bring your date and hang out. This place gets really packed during 4^th of July or New Years (or any event that includes fireworks). This place has a nice view of SD buildings, specially at night time.
I tried fishing here one time, and it was unsuccessful, due to high volume of seaweeds (your line will more likely get stuck 90% of the time).
Giving it 5 Stars because it has improved over time, and this place is always clean.
