Take a stroll through downtown La Mesa and enjoy its quaint shops, eateries, and public art.

• Walking Art Trail Brochure 

La Mesa Arts Alliance is partnering with the community to create a Walking Art Trail through the downtown village. We have chosen several utility boxes in the city to be the canvas for local artists to transform into works of art. Inside the Walking Art Trail brochure is a walking map showing the locations of the painted utility boxes. The artist who painted the individual boxes is noted in the artist key. Additional public art and local attractions are highlighted on the walking map.

Walk La Mesa - for the fun of it...  La Mesa is made for walking. Walk any day of the week - free walks offered Monday through Sunday.

• Walk La Mesa Brochure 

The Walk La Mesa brochure is a project of the La Mesa Wellness Task Force, a coalition of community partners dedicated to supporting a fit La Mesa.
