Hilltop Park

Location

Hilltop Park is located at the corner of 4th Avenue & 9th Street.

Hilltop Park is unique from the other traditionally developed parks in Marina. Its location provides beautiful panoramas of the ocean to the west and Salinas and the hills to the east. The park was designed to be a passive park with the emphasis on native plantings, overlooks, seating areas, walking pathways, picnic areas and a dog park.
