My sweetie and I spend several fun hours, exploring Palisades Park in Santa Monica. There's a sculpture thing is made of wood and has amazing acoustic properties when you step inside. We also enjoyed the rose garden, but wished that the roses had been identified. We walked from San Vicente down to the California Incline and back. We saw joggers,... More

I've lived in Santa Monica all of my life and grew up a block from this park. I've spent many, many days in Palisades Park. Still, every time that I visit, I thank Mr. Edward Jones for donating the land to our city in 1892 It is an area enjoyed by so many people, with so many incredible vistas. I... More

Hubby and I loved Palisades Park as it is a real slice of the So-Cal lifestyle. The park is well maintained and very pretty with stunning views over the ocean.

Just get out and go for a sunset walk on the path with everyone else. It's fun and nice to be with the masses. Super safe even with all the homeless folks around.

Need a place to take your love for a picnic or just want to watch the sunset. Best place for a first date picnic that I've found in all of CA.

A favorite place for my husband and I. Love walking along the paths and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Great place to people watch too, and just relax.

Gotta agree with VMBinexile. Palisades Park is lovely, fantastic setting, everything everyone says it is. But, it is also full of homeless people. This is not an indictment of them individually, but as a solo morning jogger, it makes the park off limits for anyone with common sense. Just don't feel safe in that environment. It probably changes throughout the... More
