Kate Sessions Park

On the northern edge of Pacific Beach, as you climb the hill towards Mount Soledad, hides Kate Sessions Park. This park is not that big, but is pleasant and beautiful, with sweeping views of San Diego's downtown, bay, and ocean.

There is a big grassy hill, a path around the edge that measures about half a mile. On the north side there is a children's play area with swings, slides, and monkey bars, as well as fort-like structures and picnic tables. There is a nice flat grassy area there as well, hwere you can almost always find people playing ultimate frisbee.

Behind the park is a maze of trails that are close to home, if you live in PB. The trails are nice, truly off-road trails, hidden away from the neighborhoods that surround them.

Of course, it is always living in the shadow of Mount Soledad, where you can see downtown, the bay, the ocean, and La Jolla.

Kate Sessions Park is on Soledad Road, the entrance about three blocks north of Beryl Street.
