Embarcadero Marina Park South is a large park on San Diego Bay, next to the San Diego Convention Center. With sweeping scenic views of the bay, the park is an ideal spot for a picnic, stroll, or snooze. For a quick meal or snack, a permanent snack bar resides at the park near the water. For more formal dining, Joe’s Crab Shack is located at the park’s entrance.

The park has a small public fishing pier, basketball courts, picnic tables, bike paths and parking, exercise stations, a gazebo, waterfront pathway, grassy knolls beside the bay, and a large, flat grassy peninsula near the marina.

During summer, the grassy peninsula, which makes up about half the park, becomes the setting for the San Diego Symphony Summer Pops, featuring popular classical tunes, broadway melodies, and nostalgic Americana themes, presented by the San Diego Symphony Orchestra.

Embarcadero Marina Park South is within walking distance of Seaport Village, popular waterfront hotels, PETCO Park, Convention Center, Gaslamp District, and Embarcadero attractions.
