The Ruocco Park in Downtown San Diego is located on 3.3 acres along the San Diego Waterfront, next to Seaport Village, west of Pacific Highway and South of Harbor Drive. It is placed where the former Harbor Seafood Mart and parking lot where located.
Ruocco Park is an open green space that integrates the use of hardscape, ornamental horticulture and art. It will serve as a space for people to enjoy the beautiful San Diego waterfront. Together with the San Diego County Administration Center Waterfront Park they add more than 11 acres of green space to San Diego’s waterfront.
From a lifestyle perspective those that will take the most advantage of Ruocco Park will be those living in closest proximity to the park and includes buildings in the Columbia (waterfront) District and the Marina District of Downtown San Diego. Park Place is the closest luxury high rise building to the park followed by Electra and Pacific Gate.
The Ruocco Park was funded through private-public partnership with funds provided by the San Diego Port and the Lloyd and Ilse Ruocco fund administered by The San Diego Foundation.
Construction began on October 2011 and was completed in October 2012.
