Centre City Development Corporation (CCDC) hosted a community meeting May 18 to present multiple options to residents and business owners for renovating both Gaslamp Square Park, located at Fifth and K streets, and Children’s Park, adjacent to The New Children’s Museum at 200 West Island Ave. Attendees reviewed three proposals for each park and provided their feedback about the features they wanted to see included in the redesigns. Gaslamp Square Park, which is situated in a major downtown thoroughfare near the Convention Center, has become a focus of redevelopment for CCDC since the park’s fountain, “Dancing Waters,” stopped working and had to be cordoned off, leaving what some locals say is an eyesore in the heart of the Gaslamp Quarter. Children’s Park, which was created in 1996, has also come under scrutiny for not being sufficiently child-friendly. Derek Danziger, CCDC’s vice president of marketing and communications, said that designers at the meeting received good feedback from participants, who requested more usable open space and play areas at Children’s Park and better community gathering areas at Gaslamp Square Park. Danziger said that locals also proposed that the design team incorporate a public art exhibit and a tribute to San Diego’s history as a waterfront community in their plans for the Gaslamp Square Park renovation. The design team’s next step will be to meet with the CCDC board’s real estate subcommittee on June 9 to further review the concepts, Danziger said. After that meeting, the consultants will revise their designs based on the feedback they have received, then hold one more public workshop before presenting the final proposal to the CCDC board of directors at its July 28 meeting.
