Rotary Park on Coronado's Orange Avenue anchors the intersection of Park Place and Isabella Avenue with roughly 700 square feet of green space — among the smallest municipal parks in California. The 1936 Star Pine at the park's center, a memorial gift planted by the Rotary Club of Coronado, now towers approximately 120 feet over the Orange Avenue corridor and stands as one of the civic landmarks cataloged in the collections of the Coronado Historical Association a few blocks away. Each December, the tree becomes the centerpiece of Coronado's annual Holiday Parade and Tree Lighting ceremony, drawing over 17,000 spectators to Orange Avenue for the island's signature seasonal event. Benches, a small water feature, and free public Wi-Fi round out the pocket park's amenities, complementing the performing-arts programming a few blocks south at Lamb's Players Theatre, which stages its own seasonal productions along the same Orange Avenue corridor. The annual tree-lighting installation strings 18,175 bulbs across two miles of wiring up the Star Pine — a Norfolk Island Pine cultivar planted from a sapling donated by Emily T. Thompson in memory of her husband Charles in May 1936.
