Mission Hills Heritage is partnering with The San Diego Parks Foundation and San Diego’s Department of Parks & Recreation to restore the historic cobblestone curbs and swales of Presidio Park. But we need your donation to make this project a reality!
Constructed in 1929, the historic cobblestone curbs and swales line the winding roads though our beloved Presidio Park. But after 95+ years of use, the cobblestone swales are showing their age. Damage and deferred maintenance have taken a toll.
We now have an opportunity to bring back the cobblestone curbs and swales! Ann Dynes, a founder of The San Diego Parks Foundation, has made a generous matching gift of $10,000 as seed money for materials and the Department of Parks & Recreation will provide the skilled labor to clean, repair and restore the curbs and swales. All we need to do is raise a matching amount of at least $10,000. But the more we raise, the more areas of cobblestone can be restored.
Here is how you can help: PLEASE make an online dotation to a dedicated fund set up at the San Diego Parks Foundation for this special project, at www.sandiegoparksfoundation.org. Click on the DONATE button, then under the drop-down menu select “Adopt Presidio Park” and type in comments “Cobblestone Project.”
OR make a check payable to The San Diego Parks Foundation, 1189 Rosecrans Street, 111, San Diego, CA 92106 and write in the memo “Cobblestone Project.” The San Diego Parks Foundation is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization, and donations are tax deductible.
We hope to continue partnering with the San Diego Parks Foundation and the City for future projects at Presidio Park. Together, we can polish this crown jewel of our community and the City of San Diego.
