Help shape the future of Escondido's parks and open spaces! The City invites residents to participate in our interactive Community Visioning Workshops focused on reimagining parks of all sizes throughout Escondido.
From large regional parks to neighborhood and pocket parks, we're inviting residents to think creatively about how these spaces can better serve Escondido now and in the future.
Previous Workshops:
- Monday, March 9, at 6 p.m., at the East Valley Community Center (2245 E. Valley Pkwy.)
- Saturday, March 14, at 10 a.m., in the Mitchell Room at City Hall (201 N. Broadway)
NEW Third Workshop Added:
- Date and Time: Saturday, May 16, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.
- Location: Mitchell Room at City Hall (201 N. Broadway)
This meeting will be held in the same interactive format as the previous two workshops. Light refreshments and snacks will be offered. Interpretation services will be available if needed. We hope to see you there!
If you are unable to attend the workshop, we still want your feedback. Please share your ideas and vision for our parks and open spaces below.

Would love a new and free skate park in Kit Carson, also a nice pump track. Would be cool if Kit Carson had concessions.

I would love to have a playground in the East Valley area. Could a playground space be added to Francis Ryan Park for example?

Support indoor or shaded space for Escondido Pop Warner cheer. Weather limits safe practice. 1st at JAMZ Nationals representing Escondido.
