Belmont Park, Mission Beach, San Diego, California

Being a classic seaside amusement park it is totally appropriate that Belmont Park has a traditional test your strength game.

The Plunge which; along with the Giant Dipper, has been the only remaining attraction from the parks opening in 1925.  It originally opened as a salt water pool.  The salt water and the pool's filters/equipment didn't work well together and after a few years it became a fresh water pool.  The building and pool have gone through several renovations over the years including a a five year long one that was in the finishing stages during our visit.

Between the Plunge and some of Belmont Park's buildings is a zip line attraction squeezed in as they really have tried to make every inch of Belmont Park an attraction.

Heading to the west end of Belmont Park is a wonderful beach front walkway that extends way beyond the park.  With the beach, stores, places to eat, rides and a historic coaster Belmont Park is the perfect place to go for an evening out.
