Spanish Landing Park
A historical landmark, Spanish Landing Park is the site that commemorates the 1769 meeting of the Gaspar DePortola and Father Junípero Serra expeditions. The park features a pedestrian path, bike route, picnic tables, benches and the Callaway Carillon bell tower. Note: As of November 1, 2012, the playground equipment has been removed from Spanish Landing Park. Our inspection program revealed that the playground equipment had reached the end of its useful life. It will be replaced consistent with funding availability.
