Ellen Browning Scripps Park

Ellen Browning Scripps Memorial Park, often referred to as Scripps Park, is an urban park in La Jolla, a community in San Diego, California. The park is sited on a sandstone bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean. It is 5.6 acres and has approximately 1,500 ft of shoreline and includes La Jolla Cove, Point La Jolla, Boomer Beach, and Shell Beach. The La Jolla Adult Recreation Center, three historic belvederes, and a pavilion are the only buildings in the park.
Influenced by the American picturesque park movement, Scripps Memorial Park has a 3.8-acre lawn and heritage plantings that include groves of gnarly trunked pink melaleuca, an Australian native plant; exotic dragon trees from the Canary Islands; several Monterey cypress; and a row of Mexican fan palms.
According to the Automobile Association of America, Scripps Memorial Park is the most photographed spot in San Diego. The La Jolla Park Coastal Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 9, 2024, includes Ellen Browning Scripps Memorial Park as a contributing resource.
