Named after one of Coronado's founding fathers and a former owner of the Hotel del Coronado, Spreckels Park is a place that beckons people of all ages. With sprawling lawns and a large play structure for children, the park gives kids enough space to run around but still be visible at all times. In the summer, the park hosts a concert series every Sunday from the end of May to the middle of September. Visitors and locals are encouraged to bring a blanket, food and drinks, and enjoy a picnic in the park while listening to some excellent tunes.
Private and special events can be held at Spreckels Park. The gazebo, which is located in the center of the property, is an especially magical place for a wedding. Parties of 20 or more need to make reservations with the city of Coronado. It is the only park on the island that can accommodate electricity.
