What an amazing architectural delight to walk across! This bridge does more than connect Laurel Ave. to the heart of Balboa Park. You can enjoy the vistas of the city, airplanes landing, Balboa Park buildings, and the highway (CA-163) below from the bridge by walking across. Also, take time to note the details, such as the railings and lampposts. of this awesome structure.

We walked across this bridge after having dinner at Cucina Urbana. We were going to the Fine Art Gallery for their last Friday night late opening of the summer. It is a lovely way to walk across into the park from I think Laurel Street. It only took 12 minutes to walk from the restaurant to the gallery and at night it is really pretty looking at the city lights as you walk back over it. The area felt really safe to stroll around at night and during the day, there is an awesome dog park along the side of the bridge as well.

If you are up town and want to go to Balboa Park this bridge, built in 1915 for the Panama-California Exposition, provides easy access. The street on the west end of the bridge is "El Prado" rather than sometimes heard "Laurel St.". Renovations were completed in 2014 for five months. This bridge had been the choice of suicides until the Coronado bridge was build.

This is a great way to enter Balboa and they have done a great job preserving. And keeping the bridge open for everyone.

The bridge is one of the sights that you must see driving under it at night (HWY 163), and worth a stroll during the daytime. The bridge was recently renovated (thank you to someone at city hall) and looks as good as new even though it is over one hundred years old.
The bridge a cool part of a walking tour of Balboa Park (the West end) with the West Gate and Museum of Man complex. I highly recommend it for a romantic stroll, or with the kids in tow.

Beautiful bridge with views of Balboa park and surrounding areas. Very peaceful, nice for a walk on a leisurely afternoon, and even romantic at night!

Try to walk over this bridge as you will get a better feel for it. Lots of history in the construction. A beautiful view along the bridge, with the park coming into view and the freeway below. A great piece of work. Very cool to check out.

Wonderful piece of Architecture to walk thru as you enter Balboa Park. Created for the 1915 Expo, the bridge still looks great and even better when you get up close and can see the details.

My daughter and crossed this bridge six times walking in and out of Balboa Park from Hillcrest. It is the best way to get into the park from the west, along El Prado. It is spectacular in its construction and was built for the 1915 exposition. You cannot believe how high up you are until you look down onto the highway below. There have been several suicides here so protective metal guards have been placed to deter this. The bridge ends at eh Museum of Man and the tower. Not to be missed on a visit to San Diego.

Danielle, Ezra, and I spent a day walking around Balboa Park, Cabrillo Bridge, and the surrounding area. Definitely a day well spent.
