The City of San Diego is working on completing a Master Plan for the River Park within its jurisdiction. The draft plan was completed some time ago and the City is now working on completing an environmental review of the plan. As part of this, the City Council of San Diego will at some time in the future consider formally adopting the plan. Visit the City's web site for details
The San Diego River Park Foundation is in the final stages of developing a program to enlist architects, planners, artist and others in advancing the vision of the River Park through the donation of their time and skills and to help create projects that volunteers can undertake to make areas along the river safe, inviting, and educational. The program is being modeled on other programs across the country and even London, England! Let's put San Diegans to the task to create a River Park For All from the Mountains to the Ocean! If you are interested in this program, contact Rob Hutsel, River Park Foundation Executive Director today! Click Here
