About this Event
Experience San Diego like you're a local by visiting North Park, one of the most walkable neighborhoods in the city.
Forbes magazine recently named North Park one of "America's Best Hipster Neighborhoods," but that's about as close as North Park gets to being a tourist trap.
This culturally diverse commercial district features cafes, diners, coffee shops, microbreweries, boutiques, and much more. You'll learn how North Park began as a lemon grove in 1893 and quickly grew into one of San Diego's first residential and commercial districts.
North Park is also a great place in San Diego look at street art, and visit art galleries in the Ray Street Arts District. You'll see murals covering entire walls of buildings around every corner. Even the utility boxes are covered with art!
This "small group" North Park Walking Tour will give you a good understanding of the area's history, and why it's one of the city's coolest neighborhoods to live in today.
What to Bring
Sunscreen, water, hat, and sunglasses are recommended when the weather is hot.
Difficulty
This walk is suitable for ages 13 and up. All minors must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. The terrain includes mostly flat pavement.
