Beyer Park to become San Ysidro’s first new public park in over 25 years

SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — Construction has started on the new public park coming to San Ysidro.

Beyer Park, which is expected to be completed by spring of 2026, will be located along East Beyer Blvd, the City of San Diego said in a news release Tuesday.

The eight-acre parkland will live on a 43-acre undeveloped site featuring a children’s playground area, ball fields, picnic areas, restrooms, a dog park, skate park, walking trails and public art.

“Beyer Park will be the first new public park in San Ysidro in over 25 years and serves as an example of our commitment to providing every San Diegan with access to high-quality recreational spaces,” Mayor Gloria said. “It’s also an example of why partnerships matter, and I’m grateful to the California Statewide Park Development and Community Revitalization Program and funds secured by Congressmember Juan Vargas, which together provided the millions of dollars in funding to make this vision a reality.”

Plans to build a park have been talked about since 1974 when an unimproved 6.78-acre site was appointed for future park development, according to the city. Calls for a park also resurfaced in 1990 and 2016.

“For over 30 years, City Hall has promised to build Beyer Park for the residents of San Ysidro. Unfortunately, past city leaders failed to keep that promise. I am proud to have worked closely with community members, particularly San Ysidro youth, to finally build Beyer Park and deliver residents with the park space they deserve,” said Councilmember Vivian Moreno whose district includes San Ysidro.

The park project is part of the mayor’s Parks for All of Us initiative , which provides funding to safe, clean and thriving park spaces.
