Much of the garden at Waterfront Park on the north side of the County Administration Building has been removed. I noticed the orange construction fencing today during my walk along San Diego’s Embarcadero.
A worker told me they’re installing new pipes. As I understand it, much of this area will then be converted into basketball and pickleball courts and other outdoor recreational facilities, which can be enjoyed by downtown residents.
I noticed the fencing protects several trees. It’s also around world-famous artist Niki de Saint Phalle’s colorful Serpent Tree sculpture. I suspect these will not be moved.
How sad the beautiful garden is going away. I took photos of the lush garden one bright morning several years ago and posted them here.
I also went on an architectural tour of Waterfront Park and learned more about the garden’s design here.

Such a shame this green spot is being renovated, but at least they are keeping the trees and sculpture. I guess when it’s finished it will look nice and have good sport / outdoor facilities everyone can use.

I really loved walking through the garden before and after work when i worked around there for about a year. It’s a pitty most of it is going away, but I do understand the need for sports recreation is downtown… just wish it could have been placed elsewhere….
