Mission Trails Regional Park encompasses nearly
5,800 acres of both natural and developed
recreational acres.
Its rugged hills, valleys and open
areas represent a San Diego prior to the landing of
Cabrillo in San Diego Bay in 1542.
Centrally located and only eight miles northeast of downtown
San Diego, Mission Trails Regional Park provides a
quick, natural escape from the urban hustle and
bustle.
