Mission Trails Regional Park, encompassing 8,000 acres of natural and developed recreational land in San Diego, offers a glimpse into the region's history, showcasing rugged hills, valleys, and open areas that reflect the landscape prior to Cabrillo's arrival in 1542. The park's Visitor and Interpretive Center serves as a stunning venue for special events, with all facility rentals supporting the Mission Trails Regional Park Foundation's efforts to enhance and preserve the park.
The MTRP Foundation is dedicated to land acquisition initiatives, having successfully contributed significant acreage to the park, thus expanding its natural habitat and recreational opportunities. Recognized as a 2025 California Nonprofit of the Year, the foundation emphasizes community engagement through various programs, including eco education and volunteer opportunities.
