  A nice secluded part of Balboa Park to have a picnic. A lot of homeless congregate around the area unfortunately. They should rename it homeless circle.

  Otherwise known as "The Fruit Loop"; once an epicenter of gay culture in San Diego. Especially in the ’50s and ’60s, gay people pushed underground by the reigning mores of the time used the secluded area as a meeting place. Some folks, gay men mostly, used the dark pocket of the park to meet for anonymous sex. A few still do. After the sun went down, the illicit activity cranked up. Things got so wild, city officials permanently closed the nearby public bathroom, and the two-way street leading to the Marston Point parking lot was made one-way to cut down on opportunities for drive-by eye contact.

  It's yet another part if the park , this one is purely natural, and great place to just simply commune with nature

  Beautiful grove of old Coast Redwoods visible from the 163. Sadly, they have been left without enough water and are dying. See them while you still can!
