Belmont Park, Beachfront amusement park in Mission Beach, California, US
The seven-acre Belmont Park contains roller coasters, entertainment venues, and multiple dining establishments along the San Diego coastline at Mission Beach.
Sugar magnate John D. Spreckels established Belmont Park on July 4, 1925, as the Mission Beach Amusement Center to promote land sales in the area.
The Giant Dipper roller coaster and The Plunge swimming pool remain from the original 1925 construction, representing early American recreational architecture.
Visitors can access 17 food establishments, shopping outlets, and multiple attractions through single-day passes or individual ride tickets throughout the year.
The Plunge reopened in 2019 following a $12 million renovation, transforming the former saltwater pool into a modern indoor swimming facility.
