East Village Green

San Diego, CA

East Village Green is a new 4.1-acre urban park in San Diego’s East Village neighborhood. Early community engagement, including outreach workshops and an interactive project website, gave residents a direct voice in shaping the park’s program and amenities, ensuring the final design reflected the neighborhood’s vision.

Occupying a full city block, East Village Green includes a recreation center, central green lawn, performance pavilion, children’s play area, dog park, and a two-level underground parking structure. The new two-story, 13,657-square-foot recreation center features a gymnasium, flexible community rooms, training and commercial kitchens, a conference room, offices, and public restrooms. The park’s central lawn and performance pavilion support community gatherings and events, while picnic and games areas are woven throughout the site. A fenced children’s play area includes a playground, rock-climbing wall, water feature, and children’s restrooms. The 12,500-square-foot off-leash dog park features hills, a loop trail, artificial turf, a decomposed granite walking path, seating areas, and lighting for evening use. Accessed from G Street, the underground garage provides 176 parking spaces beneath the park.
