Mira Mesa Community Park Improvements Phase II

Background

The project will improve the approximately 17-acre Mira Mesa Community Park, located in the Mira Mesa community, Council District 6. This project aligns with the City Strategic Plan's Priority Areas & Outcomes: Protect & Enrich Every Neighborhood.

Project Overview

The project improvements include a new aquatic complex, all-wheels plaza, renovation of the existing recreation center, new children's play areas, basketball courts striped for pickleball, public art, expansion of the parking lot, upgraded security and sports lighting, landscaping, irrigation, and site furnishings. These upgrades will provide accessible, safe, and comfortable recreational facilities that foster interaction and promote well-being for the Mira Mesa community and beyond.
