Powerhouse Park is a public park, beach, and tourist attraction at 1658 Coast Blvd in Del Mar, CA 92014, stretching along the oceanfront between 15th and 18th Streets. Built on land once home to the boiler house that powered the historic Stratford Inn, the park today anchors Del Mar's coastal identity with expansive green lawns, concrete walkways, picnic tables, barbecue areas, and distressed wood benches facing the Pacific. The park sits directly above the popular 15th Street surf break, making it a go-to access point for experienced surfers and the site where summer board and wetsuit rentals set up along the sand. Families head to the barefoot-friendly Tot Lot at the south end of the park, a playground with swings, slides, and climbing equipment that was fully renovated in 2023 through a community-driven fundraising effort led by Friends of the Powerhouse. That renovation project, which cost approximately $376,000 funded by a state grant, city matching funds, and community donations, followed the park's earlier recognition with a Project of the Year Award from the American Public Works Association in 2004. Sea Grove Park sits on the bluffs directly across the railroad tracks at the south end, offering an elevated vantage point above the same stretch of coastline. Leashed dogs are welcome throughout the park, and a doggie water fountain is available, though dogs are not permitted in the Tot Lot area. Every summer, the Del Mar Twilight Concert Series brings free live music to the park, drawing locals and visitors for sunset picnicking on the grass. Parking options include metered street spaces along Coast Blvd, a paid lot across the street, and free parking at the city offices lot at Camino Del Mar and 11th Street. Two beachfront restaurants, Jake's Del Mar and Poseidon on the Beach, operate at the north end of the park near the lifeguard tower. Restrooms and showers are located at the Del Mar Powerhouse Community Center under the stage area at the park's north end, with additional facilities at the 17th and 25th Street lifeguard towers. The park is open 24 hours, rated 4.8 stars across more than 2,500 Google reviews, and remains one of the most visited public spaces in San Diego's North County.
