I stumbled upon this little park while visiting Coronado Island for the first time and I am so glad…read moreI did. It was so serene and peaceful- the perfect spot to rest if you need some peace and quiet. We went on a weekday afternoon and there was only one other person there. The views are absolutely stunning. They have a few benches to sit down, but I would say bring a small blanket to lie down on the grass next to the water. We parked right across the street in the residential area. I would assume this place gets really busy on the weekends and parking might be tough. It's super worth a visit, even if you can only stop by for a minute to take in the views!

It's my FAVORITE picturesque walkway. It is very picturesque during the sunset overlooking the downtown San Diego skyline! The beautiful lights and shadows. Don't get me wrong, it's pretty any time of day. Sunset is my favorite. If you're wanting to go for a walk, this is a beautiful area to do so. There's park benches along the way so you can rest if need be. Nearby is the Coronado Ferry Landing! From there, the pathway leads you to local shopping and restaurants! There's public restrooms as well. Oh! Metered parking! Overall, a GREAT place to come and enjoy the day. It's pet friendly as well.

We plopped down a blanket by the path under a palm tree, about 10 feet from the water. The weather was perfect. There was a steady flow of people on bikes, kayaks and paddle boards. We enjoyed it not being crowded at all. It was almost perfect. The only con was there were lots of prickly spiky seed pods and fire red ants in the sand. We moved the blanket but we wanted to be in the shade. We will come back when it's cooler and settle down closer to the water.

Absolutely stunning park!…read more *Parking: free parking lot. *Amenities: so many!! Two play structures, art installations, path for biking, walking, running, small beach, bathrooms, huge grassy field and picnic tables. The view of Coronado bridge and downtown San Diego was my favorite part.

Built with probably age 7+ in mind but my toddler was able to enjoy everything easily. The slides were metal but it didn't burn anyone going down. I was happy there was a good amount of shade! Bring your own food and snacks. Prices are ridiculous. The ice cream truck was $6 for an ice cream sandwich. Prices are not posted and I didn't have the heart to say nevermind and disappoint the kiddos. Great park!

This is more based on the dog park that's on the same lot as the Children's Park. This one uses…read moreturf, which i find has it's benefits on the days after a rainstorm since it doesn't get muddy. There are four big pine trees with separate retaining walls around three of them for owners to sit down. With it being so close to the bay, there's often a nice breeze that goes through the park. There's no divide between small dogs and big dogs, so it's best to just keep an eye on your dog, and many owners around here are usually respectful. The street parking immediately adjacent to the park is free, however, it has a limit of 30 minutes, and the parking meter workers are strict on it if they're around. I bring my dog here around lunch time because those who live/ work in the area tend to bring their dogs during their break time and my dog gets his socialization time. They close 8am-11am MWF for maintenance/ cleaning. Currently, both gates are broken so it's not as secure as it should be, and who knows when the city will actually fix it. There're a few agility structures and a water dispenser. The children's park itself looks pretty cool for kids with a lot of structures with slides and swings. There's also another separate area with fixed exercise equipment that looks well- maintained. The water feature in the park is a water feature, not a pool.

Nobody from Coronado refers to this park as Mathewson Park. We call it "Pomona" park…read more This was the best park for those kids growing up on the East Side of Coronado. Its gentle sloping sidewalk was perfect for skating or biking. The old corkscrew slide provided endless hours of entertainment ( as long as your brought your own wax paper). The large grass field was perfect for games of touch-football. The large palm tree palms were perfect for grabbing and swinging around.. The park hasn't changed much sine then, though they did get rid of the "unsafe" slide years ago. I guess the only major difference is all the weird traffic control the city installed along Pomona which is so bizarre. Safer? maybe.. Now my kids always want to play at Pomona park when we visit family... Its so nice to see that.
