Centennial Park, Coronado
Centennial Park is a sublime park with views across the smooth blue water to the San Diego skyline. There is something pretty everywhere you look, from the historic ferry ticket booth, to the rose garden, to the white gazebo and blue lampposts. At night, San Diegans bring blankets and pillows and sit on the lawn here and by the ferry pier, enjoying the shimmering gold city skyline across the water- it's magic!
The Bayshore Bikeway leads along the water in front of the apartments for 1.1 miles and is a favorite with joggers. Next to Centennial Park is the ferry pier where you can catch a ferry to mainland San Diego, and Coronado Ferry Center shops, where you can buy a popsicle, sandwich or drink and enjoy them at tables under umbrellas in the pleasant landscaping. You can also shop for souvenirs here. There are some modern restaurants with gorgeous water views through huge glass windows. If you walk on the bike path past the ferry center shops you come to Coronado Tidelands Park, a colorful spot with sculptures, playground, sports fields, exercise stations, and a skatepark. All along the way you have fantastic views of Coronado Bridge.
Centennial Park is at the northern end of Orange Ave, the main strip in downtown Coronado.
For a nice walk, stroll south down Orange Ave past the little cafes and historic buildings to Hotel del Coronado and the beach. After lounging around at Hotel del Coronado for a while, walk among the mansions on the little streets around Adella Ave near the harbor. The tropical flowers and handsome architecture will delight you. Take 9th Street back to Orange Ave, stopping to look at the marvelous Christ Episcopal Church. 5th Street also has lovely little houses with gardens full of flowers.

the downtown skyline is the best thing to focus on while running.
