About These Pages
The City’s Public Works page lists these parks with addresses and a few details. It does not list hours for each park or its playgrounds.
What We Could Not Verify
Park hours, playgrounds and restrooms were not on the page read, except the Kimball skate park and Casa de Salud hours.
Pepper Park (run through the Port) and the National City library children’s programs were not read.
The page was truncated before its end, so further parks may be listed that we did not read.
