The County of San Diego purchased 9.3 acres of land off Calavo Drive, north of Jamacha Boulevard, for a community park. The land features relatively flat open space, disturbed habitats, and is close to multi-family housing and schools - making it an ideal location for recreational amenities.
The park has been designed with the community to meet the recreational needs of Spring Valley residents of all ages and interests. Construction on the park started in fall 2024 and is estimated to be completed by Fall 2025.

The Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) conducted three public outreach meetings and associated online surveys to obtain community input for the park design. The first public meeting took place Wednesday, Aug. 21, 2019 at the Spring Valley Community Center. An online survey was posted for those who could not attend the first meeting, to collect input on desired amenities. The survey ended Oct. 31, 2019, and feedback was tallied and utilized to create two conceptual options for the park. During the second public meeting on Dec. 3, 2019, DPR presented the two concepts and handed out new surveys to gather information on preferences. A third public meeting was held Sept. 10, 2020 to gather further input from the community for all-wheel park - one of the design components - and a third follow-up survey was shared. All of the feedback collected during public meetings and through online surveys - combined with other meetings, conferences, listening sessions culminated in a final park concept plan.
To date, $28.45M has been secured for this project, which includes funding for land acquisition, design, environmental analysis, and construction. Environmental analysis per the California Environmental Quality Act, final design and permitting are completed.
This project complies with California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) as adopted by the Board of Supervisors on November 16, 2022
