Holiday Giving
Park Design Workshop: HAVE YOUR SAY!!
We need your ideas, your input!! Why? We are designing a new park for Lakeside
and the Regional San Diego River Park. We are holding 5 design workshop to allow
you to give your thoughts and ideas. Our park will be better for you, for kids, for
seniors, for everyone, when everyone has a say. Please attend.
Please note: Lakeside's River Park Conservancy is a non-profit. We receive no government assistance for maintenance etc. This park will require a fee from users. We do not as yet know what that fee will be. Your input on this matter would be appreciated.
