What We Do
Connect. Create. Conserve.
The San Diego River Park Foundation is dedicated to improving the health of the San Diego River and to creating a better quality of life for our community through the creation of a park system the length of the 52-mile river. Our programs, projects, and events are designed to connect people to our historic San Diego River and empower the community to steward and celebrate it.
Connect The Trail: Snapdragon to the Sea
We must close the critical West Valley Crossing gap in Mission Valley to fully connect the San Diego River Trail & Bikeway, creating a secure, continuous, safe path that expands public access, transportation and recreation to river-adjacent areas.
Land Acquisition
Acquiring and conserving land along the San Diego River protects the watershed and wildlife, and preserves open spaces for recreation.
Conservation & Stewardship
Many wildlife species who call the San Diego River home are at risk. Conservation efforts help to preserve the River for future generations and support the vision of a San Diego River Park.
Education
We work to connect the community to the River by fostering a sense of wonder, a lifelong love of the outdoors, and a stewardship of the River. We specialize in site-based, experiential natural science education, especially for K-8 students.
