Horton Plaza Park - San Diego, CA - Municipal Parks and Plazas on Waymarking.com

The website for the Park (visit link) informs us:

"On January 11, 2011, the San Diego City Council unanimously voted to approve a unique public-private partnership between Westfield and the City of San Diego.

This plan will create a world-class Urban Plaza as well as beautify and restore the historic park and fountain adjacent to this property, re-establishing it as the regional treasure that it was in the early-to-mid 1900’s.

The new Horton Plaza Park will be an exciting central gathering area for the community providing a dynamic events venue for San Diego. If you are interested in booking an event at Horton Plaza Park, you can find more information here.
