Active Recreation Area Opens at Waterfront Park

Reading Time: < 1minute

San Diegans now have more ways to go outside and get active at Waterfront Park.

The new active recreation area opened today in the northeast corner of Waterfront Park.

The new facilities include:

• A basketball court
• Two pickleball courts
• A five-station fitness apparatus
• Table tennis
• A fenced off-leash dog area with agility equipment
• Benches
• Drinking fountains

The active recreation area will be open daily from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Equipment check-out will be open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. during summer hours and from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. from fall to spring.

The new amenities were built with equity as a priority. The equipment and features are free to use, encouraging an active lifestyle for everyone, including those who may not be able to afford a gym membership or local sports program.

Drought-tolerant trees and plants line the perimeter of the 1.25-acre recreation area to add ambiance, support environmental sustainability measures, and buffer sound from sports activities.

The County's Department of Parks and Recreation and Board of Supervisors Vice Chair Terra Lawson-Remer held a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the opening. Organizers of the event also hosted an interactive pickleball workshop after the ceremony.
