Presidio Park is a 40-acre park that is located at the site of the former San Diego Presidio and San Diego Mission, which were founded in 1769 as the first European settlements in the Western United States. Though the fort and mission were left to ruin by the early 19th century, the Presidio Hill area was purchased in 1907 by department store entrepreneur George Marston and was donated to the city in 1929 for the purposes of creating a public park facility. Today, the park offers sweeping views of the San Diego River Valley and the city's Pacific Ocean coastline, with ample green space offered for picnics and relaxation. Visitors can also peruse the JunÃpero Serra Museum, which showcases exhibits related to the city's founding, or view the palm tree planted by JunÃpero Serra in 1769, preserved today as a California Historical Landmark.
