The goal is to eliminate barriers and inequities in how people access recreation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Parks and Recreation Department is eager to hear from San Diegans about how we can better serve all of our communities citywide,\u201d said Andy Field, department director. \u201cI encourage everyone to share their honest feedback so that we can continue our work to build an equitable park system for all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The assessment will be carried out in three phases of four months duration. During each, the focus will be on three San Diego City Council districts. Once completed, Keen will provide the city with a final report with goals, future steps and a proposed timeline for remedies.<\/p>\n<p>The tentative date of completion is summer 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Construction continued in the spring on Phase 2 of upgrades to Mira Mesa Community Park.
