The long-awaited upgrades include new play areas, a perched beach and what would be the first splash pad at any park along the San Diego Bay
Pepper Park, National City’s only recreational link to the San Diego Bay, is one step closer to getting the facelift hundreds of residents have spent years advocating for.
offers a playground, boat launch ramp, small fishing pier, floating boat dock, restrooms, a few picnic tables and an aquatic center. Plans also include a 1,450-square-foot perched beach with umbrellas and lawn chairs along the southern edge of the park. A retaining wall will keep sand from blowing into the Sweetwater Channel, according to the permit.
The Port of San Diego approved a permit to bring new features to National City’s Pepper Park, including this perched beach. National City’s bayfront, consisting of 273 acres of land and 167 acres of water, is among them. Along with Pepper Park, the area is also home to Pier 32 Marina and the Marine Terminal, which serves as the nation’s main entryway for importing cars.
“Parks are the lungs for communities providing a breath of fresh air away from the bustling urban environment,” said Naranjo while recognizing years of community advocacy.
