North Park is a hip little neighborhood somewhere between urban and suburban, full of little 1920's bungalows next to larger and larger new apartment buildings with shops, bars and restaurants tucked in between. Bordering the North side of Balboa Park as the name would suggest, the large green spaces and sports fields of Morley Park is a great area for a picnic when the bustle of this cool hipster neighborhood is too much.

The Lafayette Hotel, Swim Club & Bungalows

This classic hotel was recently updated by the folks from Consortium Holdings, a great restaurant group. It has a lovely pool, lounges and is right in the middle of the action.

Nothing super special about this other that it is only $1/hour to park here most of the time. If you’re not staying within walking distance, trust me this is the way to go.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Objects In Motion
Available for hire
I am a Southern California native, mother of two, military spouse and travel lover currently located in Naples, Italy. I’ve lived and visited many different places and I hope that my travels will help you plan your next great adventure! My guides focus on travel that the whole family can enjoy and feature some of the great places the military has sent us, as well as our own travels. Having lived in many different places, I have local knowledge of a wide variety of places.
Two of my favorite recent travels are a month long family trip to Australia and Singapore and a multi-generational Caribbean cruise. I love that some of my kids first core memories will be of our international travels. It is so heart warming to watch them make friends at a foreign playground and having an interaction with a person that doesn’t speak their same language.
Now, living in Italy we have many more opportunities for travel, both throughout Europe and locally near Naples, Pompeii, and the Amalfi Coast. We have enjoyed discovering new foods, exploring language and culture. My youngest has an egg allergy that we manage so food and language intertwine often.
