Jacks Peak Park

The park is part of the Pueblo Lands tract acquired in 1859 by Scottish immigrant David Jack.

[1] During the Cenozoic period water levels lowered making Jacks Peak Park an island causing shale and fossils to be commonly found in the area.

[2] Flora in the park also includes madrone (arbutus menziesii), coastal scrub (including coyote brush (baccharis pilularis), California sagebrush, black sage, and ceanothus), poison oak, and the coast live oak.

[3] Jack's Peak Park is located near the Joyce Stevens Monterey Pine Reserve and is adjacent to Highway 1.

Nearby landmarks include All Saints Primary School, the Community Hospital of Monterey, and Pebble Beach Morse Gate.
