Construction re-started in November 2021.  The 17-acre location, on the corner of Qualcomm Way and Camino Del Rio N, is an active construction site but safe to visit.  We will meet in the SpringHill Suites parking lot and walk over together.  The address is: 2401 Camino Del Rio N, San Diego, CA 92108.  We ask that you wear closed-toed shoes and clothes that you don’t mind possibly getting a little dusty during our walking tour.  Please note that the tour will be on uneven dirt.      

The San Diego River Park Foundation is grateful to the San Diego Kiwanis Club of San Diego for the Club and Foundation’s generous support of the River Center at Grant Park and looks forward to hosting the members of the Kiwanis Club of San Diego.
