Summer Fun in Parks! {2023}

purple background with text "Summer Fun in San Diego Parks" with icons of a sun, ice cream, music notes, bbq, etc.

I created a new core memory with my daughter last year… we went to go see The Heroes at Hoyt Park in Scripps Ranch. It was the first time we’ve been to a concert in the park since 2019! I brought a picnic dinner and she played on the playground with friends from school. As we were packing up, the band was playing “Don’t Stop Believin’” and my daughter (age 6) started singing along. I was able to capture a video of us singing together (selfie-style) and it’s a moment I will never forget!

 

I want you to create your own core memories this summer, so I’ve compiled ALLLLLL the concerts in the park and movies in the park all over San Diego!
