César Chávez Park Improvements Project Open House

The Port of San Diego is seeking community input to inform the design of the next phase of improvements to the park, specifically the southeastern waterfront area of César Chávez Park, as part of ongoing efforts to enhance the community experience, ensure environmental sustainability, and reflect the vibrant, local heritage and culture of Barrio Logan. This community-based design process involves engaging with stakeholders and the public to solicit feedback on the proposed designs and ensure the surrounding community is represented in the project plans.

We Want to Hear from You!
Please join the Port of San Diego for a community meeting where you are encouraged to share your thoughts about what design elements would best serve the community. To ensure everyone is represented, connected, and inspired by the park, your input is needed to create a space the community will be proud of for generations to come.

DATE: Wednesday, April 30
TIME: 5 p.m.
LOCATION: Barrio Station, 2175 Newton Avenue, San Diego, CA 92113

Project Background
Since its opening in 1990, the Port of San Diego has championed continuous improvements to César Chávez Park (formerly Crosby Street Park) to maximize recreational opportunities for the surrounding community, while protecting the vital coastal environment.

The Port of San Diego is using a community-based design process for the project, which involves engaging with stakeholders and the public to solicit feedback, ensure the surrounding community is represented in the project plans, and build a sense of civic ownership for the future César Chávez Park. Throughout the process topics to be discussed will include enhanced amenities, enhanced community connectivity, more opportunities for play, and more ways to gather.
