The Mount Helix Nature Theatre and Park has been inspiring residents of Southern California with its rugged beauty and scenic views since 1924. Perched atop Mt. Helix at an elevation of approximately 1300 feet, the historic park offers a spectacular 360-degree view of San Diego County. The park is open to the public 365 days a year.In addition to the park operations, the amphitheater was the site of a free East County Youth Symphony Concert, donation-based yoga classes, weddings and memorials, and the awe-inspiring Easter sunrise service. The Park receives no government funding, meaning the tens of thousands of visitors who use the park annually do so thanks to 100 percent funding by the Foundation for the Preservation of the Mt. Helix Nature Theatre. 86177 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 1 0 true 3 true true true false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 13 13 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true false false true false false CA X Tracey Stotz 6197414363 4901 MT HELIX DRIVE LA MESA CA 91941 DAVID AVANTS Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 NORM HAPKE Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Caroline Harrod Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 KEITH MEEKER Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Signe Vonverdo Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Rose Walters Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 KATHLEEN M WHITE Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 CHRISTOPHER ROBERTS Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 ALICE W SMITH Dir.
