San Pasqual Battlefield State Historic Park is a California State Park commemorating the soldiers who fought in the 1846 Battle of San Pasqual, the bloodiest battle in California during the Mexican-American War.[1]
The 50 acre park is next to the San Diego Wild Animal Park, at San Pasqual Valley Road, south of Escondido, California on Highway 78 in San Diego County.[1]
The park is open only on weekends, and features a visitor center with displays about the cultural history of the San Pasqual Valley, and exhibits and a movie about the battle.[2] Living history presentations are held at the park, with volunteers from the San Pasqual Battlefield Volunteer Association.
