Discovery Park is a 20.4-acre (0.083 km2) park in Chula Vista, California used for youth sports, community events, parties, and other functions.[1]

In 2018, the park was the center of a scandal involving an alleged middle school fight club, with students from nearby Bonita Vista Middle School reportedly organizing fights and uploading videos to Instagram.[2]

The park's statue of Christopher Columbus was vandalized in February, 2019, with red paint splattered on it and graffiti. A bronze plaque previously attached to the statue had been stolen.[3]
