February 3, 2021 San Diego’s Civita Park Is a Triumph This past summer a beautiful new park opened to the public. Civita Park is located in a mixed use development just north of Friars Road, close to Mission Valley Shopping Center. The park, designed by Schmidt Design Group, has received several awards including an “Orchid” from the San Diego Architectural Foundation. The park design makes ingenious use of the hillside, with terraces of playing fields and playgrounds interspersed with serpentine paths, gardens with drought-tolerant plants, and a creek. There is a lot to see here, and I hope to visit again in the very near future. My congratulations and compliments to all who were involved in the creation and construction of this magnificent work of landscape architecture!
