Introducing the Bay to Park Paseo

*|MC:SUBJECT|*

INTRODUCING THE BAY TO PARK PASEO

Welcome to the Bay to Park Paseo, a soon to be unveiled 1.7 mile walking experience along Park Boulevard from San Diego Bay to Balboa Park. The Paseo will open in 2024. The goal to connect two of San Diego’s iconic gems – the San Diego Bay and Balboa Park – has been around for more than 100 years. It’s time to do it!

Teams of talented designers, artists and storytellers are working to design and install a memorable Paseo. Open for all to enjoy in 2024.

The project is presented by presented by Pete Garcia and Beth Callender of URBAN INTERVENTIONS and Chloé Lauer and is a fiscally sponsored project of the Downtown San Diego Public Spaces Foundation.

PASEO SPOTLIGHT

In each newsletter update, we will introduce you to one of the Paseo design teams to share more about their process and the inspiration behind their design.

Meet Rob Quigley of Rob Wellington Quigley Architects, FAIA (and lead architect on the San Diego Central Library) and the storytellers at OurWorlds who are using technology to revolutionize how indigenous cultures share their narratives with the world.

Using the archives of the library and contributions from local tribal communities, the team will share stories of the region in “Before There Were Borders.” To learn more about the collaborative project between local tribes, the library and design team, click here.
