Palisades Park is a 26.4-acre (10.7 ha) park in Santa Monica, California. The park is located along a 1.6-mile (2.6 km) section of Ocean Avenue on top of an uplifted unconsolidated sedimentary coastal Quaternary terrace with exposed bluffs, offering views of both the Pacific Ocean and the coastal mountains. Originally named Linda Vista Park, it was established in 1892 following donations by city founders Arcadia Bandini de Stearns Baker and John Percival Jones.
