Pepper Park

National City, CA

★★★★★4.6(1,593 Google reviews)

A bayfront park on the Sweetwater Channel with a fishing pier, playground, picnic tables and public art — an underrated stretch of waterfront. It sits inside a working port district, so follow Tidelands Avenue south past the truck traffic; the park itself is quiet and the pier is the draw.

  • John Kay★★★★★

    The recent renovations are astounding; very pleasant with lots of grass, shade, a small sand/Beach area, and even a water sprinkling area. My only complaint is I only see 2 slides in the entire large area. It seems like this park can accommodate 100-200 people or more; there should be more slides. Very family friendly for now from what I can see.

    Revamped and better than ever. Nice and clean equipment for bigger kids and area for smaller kids. Has covered benches near playground. Splash pad is a good size.
