Residents of downtown San Diego will soon be enjoying Ruocco Park, located next to Seaport Village, just across the street from Park Place Condos.
Construction is progressing on Ruocco Park, a 3.3 acre downtown San Diego waterfront park located on the north side of Seaport Village, just across the street from the Park Place condo building. Construction of the park began in October of 2011 and should be completed by December of 2012. The photos below were taken today, the one of the left from a balcony on the South side of the Park Place building, the photo on the right taken from the sidewalk along the waterfront looking toward Park Place Condos and the Manchester Hyatt.
Most of the residents of Park Place (except the 02 unit D1 floor plan facing East), will have views of Ruocco Park, beautiful green space, trees, and artwork. Check back on my site for future Ruocco Park updates and photos.

Starting this Wednesday, March 23, G Street between Pacific Highway and Union Street will begin to be converted to a one-way street.
The conversion is part of the San Diego Quiet Zone project, which is designed to improve safety at 13 railway crossings (from Laurel Street to Park Boulevard) throughout downtown and eliminate the requirement for trains to blare their horns late at night – a significant impact to residents, businesses and hotel visitors. Other Quiet Zone safety improvements include additional gates, medians, traffic signals as well as state-of-the-art railroad signaling to alert pedestrians and motorists about oncoming trains. The Quiet Zone is targeted for completion early next year.

The Harbor Drive Pedestrian Bridge that connects the waterfront and East Village opened today! To celebrate the bridge’s opening, The San Diego Padres have special activities planned for the Padres Opening Day, Tuesday April 5th. The celebration will include live music and appearances by the Swinging Friar and the Pad Squad.
Interesting Facts about the bridge:
- One of the longest self-anchored pedestrian suspension bridges in the world
- 550 feet long; 130 foot center angled pylon
Check out the photos from my first walk across the bridge. If you haven’t had a chance to visit the bridge, add the bridge to your downtown walking or running route.
