On April 30, 2025, the Port of San Diego is holding a community meeting in Barrio Logan to discuss an upcoming project that will make improvements to the southeastern waterfront area of César Chávez Park. The Port of San Diego is seeking community input to inform the design of this project as part of ongoing efforts to enhance the community experience, ensure environmental sustainability, and reflect the vibrant, local heritage and culture of Barrio Logan. The Port is planning the next phase of improvements to the park, specifically in the southeastern area, to enhance the overall quality of the public space, which could feature programmatic elements such as enhanced amenities, a play area, community connectivity and gathering, and an enhanced waterfront experience. While the Port has a baseline of improvements to implement, the team is seeking feedback from the public on what would best suit their community. “César Chávez Park is more than just a waterfront space—it’s a vital part of the neighborhood and a reflection of the vibrant community it serves,” said Chair Danielle Moore, Port of San Diego Board of Port Commissioners. “We are committed to ensuring the park is rooted in the community’s values and vision. This meeting is an important opportunity to hear directly from those who use and love the park, so we can work together to create a more welcoming, accessible, and inspiring space for everyone.” To fulfill the Port’s goal of gathering substantial community feedback, the public is invited to attend an upcoming community meeting that will include opportunities for attendees to share their thoughts about potential improvements with the project team: Community Meeting Details Wednesday, April 30 at 5 p.m. Barrio Station 2175 Newton Avenue San Diego, CA 92113 Note: Translation services will be available. The planning and design process is in its early stages, and public input is needed throughout project development to create a space the community is proud of for generations to come. The Port of San Diego will gather feedback received from this community meeting and an online survey which is open between April 16, 2025, through May 15, 2025. At a second meeting later this year, the Port team will present some options for improvements based on input received from the community. Since its opening in 1990, the Port of San Diego has championed continuous improvements to César Chávez Park (formerly Crosby Street Park) to maximize recreational opportunities for the surrounding community, while protecting the vital coastal environment. Recent improvements include: • 2024: Restoration of the park’s recreational field with improved sprinkler system. • 2023: 20 new colorful and flowering trees planted for shading and improved air quality. • 2016: Additional lighting added in the park for evening activities. • 2016: Picnic tables, benches, shading, and telescopes added to César Chávez Park Pier.
