Mayor Kevin Faulconer and Superintendent Cindy Marten kicked off the ‘Play All Day’ initiative Friday by ceremonially unlocking the gate to the first first of 30 new joint-use parks to join the 76 agreements already in effect.
The unlocking was part of a dedication ceremony for the Wegeforth Elementary School Joint-Use Park in the Serra Mesa Community.
For the last six decades the San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD) has maintained 76 joint-use parks with the City of San Diego for turf play fields and recreation facilities. Schools can use the facilities during school hours and the community can use them after school and during school breaks.
All 76 parks will be open during spring break for kids to use and play.
During his State of the City address in January, Mayor Faulconer announced an initiative to break ground or upgrade 50 parks over the next five years, and 30 of these parks will be shared city/school parks that remain open for community residents after the school day ends.
The upgraded park at Wegeforth Elementary opened with $3.2 million in improvements, including a turfed sports field, running track, designated parking area, security lighting and more.
