Port of San Diego Invites Community to Pop-up Events for César Chávez Park Improvements Project
Contact: Josh Kellems, 619.642.1153, jkellems@portofsandiego.org
The Port of San Diego is hosting two upcoming pop-up events to continue gathering feedback on the next phase of improvements to César Chávez Park. The Port is seeking community input to inform the design of this project which looks to enhance the overall quality of the public space, and could potentially feature elements such as upgraded amenities, a play area, community connectivity and gathering, and enhanced waterfront experiences. Both pop-up events will take place at César Chávez Park.
