Belmont Park, Beachfront amusement park in Mission Beach, California, US

Belmont Park is an oceanfront amusement park in Mission Beach, San Diego. Its Giant Dipper, a wooden coaster designed by Frank Prior and Frederick Church, opened in 1925 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The white-painted timber lattice carries a red track that peaks and drops behind the street-level buildings, with a striped canopy over a circular ride to one side. The Plunge, an indoor pool, is the other facility remaining from the original park.

Businessman John D. Spreckels opened the site on July 4, 1925, as the Mission Beach Amusement Center to promote property sales in the surrounding neighborhood. The original wooden coaster and the former saltwater pool remained through numerous renovations in later decades.

The Giant Dipper, the 1925 wooden coaster, was designed by Frank Prior and Frederick Church and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The park hosts an annual Winter Wonder event with rides and festive activities, and a Fall Festival running from the second week of September to Halloween with live music and a pumpkin patch. Blink-182 filmed much of the M+M's video here.

Visitors can purchase day passes or individual ride tickets to access the attractions, restaurants, and shops open throughout the year. The park is reachable via the boardwalk and nearby parking lots directly from the beachfront.

The pool reopened in 2019 after a major renovation transformed the former saltwater basin into a modern facility. The wooden coaster from the 1920s ranks among the oldest operating rides of its kind on the West Coast.
