Lopez Park near Penasquitos Canyon




Lopez Park is located on Calle Cristobal in Mira Mesa. This park overlooks Lopez Canyon, which is a tributary to Penasquitos Canyon in Mira Mesa. As you drive by, it at first seems like a generic suburban park, and in many ways it is. There is a baseball field, a small playground, friendly families, park benches and tables, a small recreation center facility, and lots ...

Where can you and your family go for a day of big grins and chuckles from engaging in or watching such activities as Turkey Stampedes, Prune Pit Spitting Contests, Luche Libre, and Ostrich/Camel Racing?

The Green Tea House Cafe
