American Indian leaders told Balboa of a large sea nearby. In 1513, Balboa and his men wanted to find the sea. They climbed over mountains. They walked through land covered with trees and vines. One day at the top of a mountain, Balboa looked out and saw a large ocean. It was the Pacific Ocean. He became the first European to see the eastern shore of the Pacific Ocean

No, Vasco Núñez de Balboa did not discover Balboa Park. Balboa Park, located in San Diego, California, was named after him in honor of his exploration achievements. The park itself was established in 1868, long after Balboa's time, and it is known for its gardens, museums, and cultural institutions. Balboa's most notable accomplishment was being the first European to see the Pacific Ocean from the Americas in 1513.
