About

Coronado Tidelands Park spans 22 acres of Port of San Diego bayfront at 2000 Mullinex Drive, the largest public park on Coronado Island in the 92118 ZIP code. The 16,000-square-foot Coronado Skatepark — dedicated in 2001 with a Street Plaza, five-to-seven-foot Clover Bowl, and eight-foot Teardrop Bowl — anchors the park's southern end alongside baseball and soccer fields that host weekend league play. An ADA-inclusive playground recognized as a model of accessible design sits near picnic shelters, barbecue grills, and a small sand beach with direct San Diego Bay access. The paved bayfront bike path runs north from Tidelands through Centennial Park toward the Ferry Landing and connects to Orange Avenue's restaurant row, where Coronado Brewing Company anchors the island's craft-beer and gastropub scene for post-park dining. The park's 3,000-person event capacity and free parking lot at Mullinex Drive make it the island's primary venue for military homecoming celebrations, community festivals, and permitted gatherings of 25 or more. Visitors from mainland San Diego cross the Coronado Bridge or ride the Coronado Ferry to reach this destination on Coronado Island's compact, walkable grid. Hotel Del Coronado and the Orange Avenue village corridor sit within the flat, walkable geography of Coronado Island, connecting every attraction on the island to the resort district and the 92118 commercial core. Coronado Beach on the island's western shore provides the Pacific-facing complement to this destination, and the flat village grid connects every point on the island within walking or cycling distance. Coronado Island's 92118 geography places every park, beach, and recreation facility within walking or cycling distance of the Orange Avenue village, and the flat terrain makes the Tidelands-to-Coronado Beach route a popular fitness loop for island residents.
