The park was not crowed at all even on Sunday afternoon. Great place for relax after heavy work and enjoy the beautiful panorama ocean view right in front of the park, also great place to take some picture especially under the big tree with the sign Ellen Browning Scripps Park. Don't forget scroll down to see the children's pool with... More

I'm a resident of more than 10 years and love this park. I walk by it often and marvel over the beauty of the scenery regardless of the season or weather. We watch fireworks here in the summer, I've been in a wedding at this park, and most often, just enjoy walking along the path near the shore. It's a... More

This is absolutely a must see when in San Diego, to leave the city and never visit this awesome sight is an injustice to your travels.

A large group of us had a brunch here. The trees around us were fantastic, the trunks and branches are twisted. I can't describe them, they just have to be seen, and the view of the sea is fantastic.

This park is very good for lounging around with very scenic views or having a picnic with very scenic views. It could have an excellent rating if it included some type of children's play area. Nevertheless, it is a very good park.

Everything you could ask for. Places to picnic, people watch, hike, see pretty trees, flora and fauna. The views of the ocean and birds are wonderful. The hills are covered in blooming succulents, and the entire park is pretty with lush grass. A great place to take a rest after shopping, visiting cafes and eating yummy food.

Great for free out door concerts in the summer. Close to the seals at Children's beach and La Jolla Cove! Plenty of bars and eats nearby!

Our hotel staff told us about this freebie -- seeing the seals playing in the water and sunning on the rocks was incredible! Plenty of on-street parking and a beautiful view of the sunset from the park, as well as the entertainment of watching the snorkelers and kayakers among the seals. This is a must-see just a few blocks from... More

Great location and plenty of room for picnics. Loved the proximity to the waves. Plenty of area for sun bathers or bbq. Parking will be the challenging aspect of this trip.

This park looks like it belongs in movies. It's beautifully manicured and sticks out on the cove. Awesome place to put down a blanket and enjoy a picnic or read a book.
