Point Loma’s new Cañon Street Pocket Park, which began construction in August 2023, is scheduled for a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 10 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 27, after it was postponed a week earlier.
According to an announcement by the Point Loma Association, unspecified “playground safety issues” led to the postponement but apparently have been resolved.
The city of San Diego had cited “unforeseen circumstances” in delaying the originally scheduled ceremony Nov. 20. Construction fencing remained up at the site at the northwest end of Avenida de Portugal off Cañon Street.
The $3.4 million, roughly three-quarter-acre park was originally scheduled to be completed in September, but the city pushed the date to November.
The park plan includes playground equipment, plantings, irrigation, hardscape, furnishings and a public art piece called “Horizon Dock” by Nate Page.
