The Port of San Diego invites the public to attend a virtual community workshop as part of the next step in redesigning Pepper Park on the National City Bayfront. The virtual community meeting will offer an opportunity for members of the community to provide feedback on three conceptual plans that are based on public input collected during previous Pepper Park outreach efforts. The site plans will showcase how new park elements – like a splash pad, group picnic areas, playground upgrades, etc. – can fit within the existing park and the future 2.5-acre expansion. As a Port of communities, the Port of San Diego’s goal is to transform Pepper Park into a resource that both visitors and residents will cherish for years to come.
