The mother of Christ stands on a knoll next to a busy highway, centerpiece of Our Lady of Peace Catholic Church. On a Sunday, the surrounding lawn and shrine may be crowded with worshippers and families posing next to Mary's huge metal toes.
Note: The parking is marked as restricted to church members and as a tow-away zone, so if you don't ask permission first, leaving your car unattended is at your own risk!

Easily accessible off 101 and somewhat visible from the freeway. Stations of the cross along a walkway on the grounds. Nice area surrounding the statue to picnic, grass for walking dogs, and ample parking.
