Pioneer Park, also known as Mission Hills Park, is a public park in the Mission Hills neighborhood of San Diego, California. Originally established in 1876 as Calvary Cemetery, it served as a Catholic burial ground. The cemetery was converted into a park in 1968, with most headstones removed, but over 800 bodies remain buried beneath the grounds.
