The City of San Diego broke ground on #ChildrensPark in the Marina District of downtown this month! SDG established the overall vision for the improvements and ...closely collaborated with the community through a series of interactive workshops. The final master plan (General Development Plan) for the park renovation provides residents and visitors in the the Marina Neighborhood space for play, socializing, recreation, and exercise. Evolving the original park design crafted in 1995, the improved site will include a children's play area, off-leash dog run, adult exercise equipment, picnic and open space, a vendor facility, and an attended public bathroom. Shout out to Spurlock Landscape Architects who led the final park improvement plans and construction documents for this iconic public amenity! obrARCHITECTURE inc., Master Plan Architect Fuscoe Engineering, Inc., Master Plan Civil Engineer https://timesofsandiego.com//childrens-park-improvement-p/ #urbanplanning #placemaking #publicspace #community #sandiegoparks #groundbreaking
