SAN DIEGO—Work has begun on Civita Park, part of the Civita mixed-use community in Mission Valley.
Hazard Construction Co. will execute the park constuction for San Diego developer Sudberry Properties, according to a report in the San Diego Business Journal.
The 14.3-acre public park, at the intersection of Civita Boulevard and Russell Parkway, is designed to serve as the centerpiece of the development, and it's design came with input from consultants, residents and city planners.
The multi-level park will cascade down the former quarry site and was designed by Schmidt Design Group Inc. of San Diego. Planned features include a large central plaza, rose gardens, and an outdoor grassy amphitheate.
The park will also include a casual sports field, basketball courts and community gardens. Its southern and eastern borders will feature a tree-sheltered promenade.
A natural-looking streambed will function as a biofiltration system that will clean storm-water runoff before it reaches the nearby San Diego River. Other planned elements include a dog park, separate children's play areas, picnic grove, interpretive gardens, scenic lookouts and restrooms, with a plaza showcasing the site's mining-related history, a Sudberry project manager told the Journal.
Civita is slated to include more than 4,700 homes and apartments at full buildout, and several of those have been completed and occupied. Office, retail and other civic amenities are planned for future phases.
