To Our Readers,
As the seasons change and the vibrant energy of summer gives way to the crisp days of fall, I want to take a moment to reflect on the incredible impact we’ve made together this past season and, to share what’s ahead.
This summer was one of our most inspiring yet. From sports programs and summer camps to Parks After Dark events and tree-planting projects, our parks were alive with connection and purpose. We also celebrated major improvements, like the new turf field at Rancho Bernardo Community Park and upgraded basketball courts at Linda Vista Community Park. Thanks to our partners, donors, and volunteers, more youth and families enjoyed safe, welcoming outdoor spaces.
In September, we welcomed our Fall 2025 Park Ambassador Cohort, young leaders ages 16–24 exploring careers in public service, environmental stewardship, and community engagement. They're gaining hands-on experience while helping us care for the parks that unite San Diego.
Thank you for being part of this mission. Together, we’re not just maintaining parks, we’re planting futures.
With gratitude,
Leona Sublett
President & Chief Executive Officer
San Diego Parks Foundation
