Mayor Todd Gloria and Council President Pro Tem Monica Montgomery Steppe joined other city staff and community members Tuesday to open La Paz Mini Park in Valencia Park.
"Every neighborhood deserves safe places to get outside, be active and gather with their loved ones and community," Gloria added."Investments in projects like this one in Valencia Park will help make that a reality for each and every San Diegan."
The $2.6 million, half-acre mini park includes two play areas for younger children and preschoolers, adult fitness equipment, a shade structure, seating areas, multi-purpose turf areas, improved landscaping and irrigation, security lighting and ADA-compliant pathways. "The new La Paz Mini Park is a true win for our community. It reflects residents' priorities and increases District 4's recreational opportunities," Montgomery Steppe said."At the intersection of public safety and livable neighborhoods, this beautiful project promotes community wellness and improves safety and livability through environmental design for all residents.
Last year, Gloria began the Parks for All of Us initiative, updating the city's Parks Master Plan to prioritize improvements in park-deficient and historically underserved communities.
