San Marcos Creek Specific Plan

The concept for the 196 acre Creek District establishes a comprehensive and integrated system of attractive, pedestrian-oriented open space areas that link District uses internally as well as externally to the surrounding community. The improved public parkland includes two internal urban parks and continuous greenways along both the north and south sides of the 45’ wide riparian creek corridor. A series of parks, plazas, walking paths, and bicycle paths will be located atop the new levees, providing views into the open space without the environmental disturbance associated with physical access. These creekside parks and paths will provide active and passive recreational opportunities as well as a unique setting for creekfacing development.
