NTC Park
In late September 2001, the U.S. Navy completed the public benefit conveyance of the 46-acres public park and a 3-acre eastern shoreline esplanade area to the City of San Diego. The conveyance is a direct result of a cooperative community planning effort supported by the Navy and the City of San Diego, and will enable the construction of the regional NTC Park and waterfront esplanade.
Conceptual plans include both active and passive recreational opportunities for residents and visitors alike. Design of the "active use" area includes an aquatic complex, multi-use sport fields, a basketball court and children's play area. The "passive use" area includes open space for special events, festivals and picnics, along with a natural habitat area. The esplanade will be a landscaped pedestrian, bicycle and recreational trail incorporated around the waterfront.
The conceptual park general development plan was approved by the City Council in May 2003 and the Coastal Commission in February 2004. This plan provides for the concept of the broadest possible uses pending future funding for any construction and ongoing operations and maintenance. Park construction is anticipated to begin Fall 2004. Please call Park and Recreation Department's Kevin Oliver at (619)533-3015 for more information.
