Sweetwater Park (Chula Vista Bayfront)
Chula Vista, CA
Free; free parking
By Simir Shah
The Port's largest park covers 39 acres next to the Sweetwater Marsh National Wildlife Refuge, with nature playgrounds, sand dunes, meadows, a native plant garden and 2.5 miles of walking and bike paths. Built-in wildlife blinds and bay overlooks are good for birding, and a 25-foot wishbone sculpture is a photo stop. It is a passive park, so organized events are not allowed. Restrooms are universal-design.
