Welcome to Mt. Helix Park -- the "Crown Jewel of East County"

Mt. Helix Park is recognized as one of San Diego County's most magnificent landmarks, where people come for spectacular views of San Diego, family picnics, romantic weddings and simply relaxing in the quiet beauty of the area.

Have you ever experienced that sense of wonder when, while out enjoying the splendor of the day, you find your eye drawn to a ridge top or mountain peak?  Did you think "I wonder what's up there?" or "Are we allowed to go up? "Welcome, then, to your very own "mountain peak."  Come up to the top—you're very welcome. 

Many people come every day to enjoy the peace, serenity, and amazing views high atop Mt. Helix.  Bring your picnic.  Bring your friends and family.  Mt. Helix Park can even become an unforgettable venue for some of your special events. We invite you to learn more about Mt. Helix Park.  As you journey through this web site, discover how to use the Park, enjoy it, and allow it to play a role in your family's memories for years to come.  Also make sure to check out the Events and Programs page to find out more about the annual HeART of Mt. Helix and other programming.

There is limited parking at the top of the hill and additional parking in the fields at the corner of Mt. Helix Drive and Vivera.  Feel free to use the lots when enjoying the Park.

And summer theater is returns to Mt. Helix Amphitheatre

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat will be produced by the Christian Community Theater (CCT) July 23 – August 8.

This rollicking, all music rock-operetta is a creative approach to one of the most familiar stories from the Old Testament. The story of Joseph and his eleven brothers covers sibling rivalry, parental favoritism, slavery, harassment, imprisonment, career advancement and forgiveness.  A true ensemble of a show and a perfect way to spend a summer evening under the stars. 
For more information or to purchase tickets contact Christian Community Theater at 619-588-0206 or 800-696-1929.
