San Diegans now have a new place to play – with a waterfront view, to boot.
The San Diego County Board of Supervisors, city leaders and residents celebrated the very highly-anticipated grand opening of the region’s largest and free Waterfront Park on Saturday.

A free community kickoff party held from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. showcased the brand-new public outdoor space located at 1600 Pacific Highway and Harbor Drive, between Grape and Ash streets, in downtown San Diego’s picturesque Embarcadero area.
The celebration boasted various activities, live performances, a classic car show, a farmer’s market and a food truck pavilion. A beer garden and a “sports zone” rounded out the entertainment.

Thousands of locals flocked to the grand opening, many impressed by the new, family-friendly park.
“It is really beautiful. It’s so nice to be in the middle of downtown and have green, and water and places for kids to go and people to have picnics," resident Joanne Wahl told NBC 7. "Visitors are really going to enjoy it when they walk along the waterfront and see this. It’s almost like public art – with the water and everything.”
