Tierrasanta

“Island in the Hills” is it’s nickname and rightfully so. Tierrasanta, which includes numerous hills and canyons, is situated like an island, not directly bordered by any community. It is bounded on the north by the Mount Soledad (52) Freeway and the sprawling southern fields of MCAS Miramar; on the east by the 5,800-acre (23 km²) Mission Trails Regional Park, which has numerous hiking and mountain biking trails; on the west by bluffs running along the wide Interstate 15 corridor running from Friars Road to Route 52, and on the south by steep canyons overlooking the San Diego River and Mission Valley.

Great community activities for the family:

• Tierrasanta Patriots Day with parade and fireworks
• Community Halloween events
• Many local events which you could find in Tierrasanta’s OWN newspaper, the Tierrasanta Times
• Notably Tony Hawk grew up here!
