UDPATE: I did a full post on the Maruta Gardner Playground at Bonita Cove Park here!
San Diego’s newest playground is the Maruta Gardner Playground in Bonita Cove!
The reopening of the transformed Maruta Gardner Playground in Bonita Cove is the latest park improvement as part of Mayor Faulconer’s promise to deliver a new generation of parks in neighborhoods across the city.
The $3.4 million improvements include renovation of the half-acre playground, replacement of the comfort station, a new shade structure, enhanced security lighting, and sidewalk and pedestrian curb ramps to meet Americans with Disabilities Act standards.
The playground has been named in honor of Gardner, a longtime Mission Beach community leader who was tragically struck and killed by an impaired driver four years ago while she was painting over graffiti.
The ribbon cutting for the park was today… stay tuned for a detailed blog post! In the meantime, check out our sneak peak!
