Mission Trails Park in San Diego is a multi-species conservation area...the largest in the region. These benches are part of a mural located on a semi-circular wall marking the entrance at Deerfield Circle (and Mission Gorge Road). The wall has many things to discover...images of local wildlife and nature with the English and Kumeyaay Indian names, imprints that appear as fossils, a blue-tiled representation of the San Diego River which flows through the Park, and two benches which are part of the mural theme as well as a rock which is very suitable as a bench.
Some of the signs are also in Spanish and Braille.
One of the signs indicates:
