De Anza Natural is the De Anza Cove Amendment to the Mission Bay Park Master Plan. De Anza Natural plans for a balance of local and regional recreational needs while restoring natural habitats and preparing for the impacts of climate change. De Anza Natural envisions enhanced recreational activities with new facilities, such as a multi-use waterfront trail and a small non-motorized boat lease area for the cove. The plan also includes space for low-cost visitor accommodations including camping and recreational vehicle facilities accessible to Mission Bay Park visitors. These spaces, set amid expanded and restored coastal wetlands, would provide exciting new opportunities for eco-tourism and environmental education.
