Mission Bay Public Park, is a 4,600-acre water park, the largest park of its kind in the world. It has 27 miles of shoreline and 15 miles of bayfront beaches. There are a wide variety of water and land based family activities, including swimming, powerboating, fishing, sailing, waterskiing and kayaking. The sheltered bay keeps the water calm, and designated areas for each activity mean that, for example, swimmers aren't competing with jet-skiers or boaters for space.

On land there are barbecues, fire rings, basketball courts, sand vollyball courts, playgrounds and scenic walkways. Kids will also enjoy spotting the wide variety of birds drawn to Mission Bay.
