Seaport San Diego Hosting Family Event for Input on New Parks, Open Spaces

Seaport San Diego Parks for All will host a free event Saturday to gather input on the future of parks and open spaces within the Central Embarcadero on the downtown waterfront.

The developer, Seaport San Diego, in partnership with San Diego Coastkeeper and the San Diego County Bicycle Coalition, are sponsoring the community event from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Embarcadero Marina Park North, 400 Kettner Blvd.

To make it easier for families to attend, the event is set to include festival elements as well as opportunities to shape what developers plan for parks along the Embarcadero. Highlights include:

• Family-friendly activities: Enjoy a bike rodeo for kids, interactive learning experiences about the bay and Sumo wrestling demonstrations.
• Meeting the design team: Engage with experts shaping the vision for Seaport San Diego’s parks and open spaces – including an Urban Beach, living shoreline with tidepools, improved bicycle and pedestrian access, with a sneak peek at the plans.
• Community engagement: Attendees may voice their thoughts and ideas.

The developer of Seaport San Diego is 1HWY1, LLC, a partnership that includes Yehudi “Gaf” Gaffen, CEO, Jeff Jacobs and Jeffrey Essakow.

“The opportunity to redesign the Downtown San Diego waterfront is deeply meaningful to our team. We want Seaport San Diego to be an iconic gathering place and point of pride for all San Diegans and Californians,” said Gaffen, 1HWY1’s CEO. “We invite the community to join us in this conversation and share their thoughts, helping us shape a future that expands coastal access for all and reflects the diverse voices and needs of our city.”
