San Pasqual Battlefield State Historic Park
The Native Sons of the Golden West were instrumental in raising money, preserving and ultimately creating the park which was then given to the state of California. It is now a California State Park as well as a California Historical Landmark. The 50-acre (200,000 m) park is next to the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, at San Pasqual Valley Road, south of Escondido, California, on Highway 78 in San Diego County.
The park is open only on weekends, and features a visitor center with displays about the cultural history of the San Pasqual Valley, exhibits, and a movie about the battle. Living history presentations are held at the park, with volunteers from the San Pasqual Battlefield Volunteer Association.
