Balboa Park has reopened the former parking lot near the San Diego Air and Space Museum as Palisades Plaza.<\/span><\/p>\n

144 parking spaces were removed from the South Palisades lot and were transformed into a public square surrounded by the Air and Space Museum, San Diego Automotive Museum, Mid-City Gymnasium, and upcoming Comic-Con Museum.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cRestoring the Palisades to its original grandeur, complete with new amenities, seating and landscaping, will return this space to the people and create another iconic venue in Balboa Park for San Diegans to enjoy,\u201d said San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer. \u201cThis project, along with other infrastructure upgrades we\u2019re making in the park, will help preserve Balboa Park\u2019s status as San Diego\u2019s crown jewel for the next century and beyond.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

131 parking spots will be added in two lots in other parts of the park.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Additionally, the seven-month construction project that cost $600,000 upgraded a San Diego Trolley stop, planted trees and enhanced landscaping, installed turn lawn areas, repaved the North Palisades parking lot, and upgraded sidewalks and curb ramps.<\/span><\/p>\n
