1st Ever Spring Valley 5K Fun Run/Walk on Thanksgiving Day Registration is now Open
Over budgeted construction bids are putting the future of Calavo Park in Jeopardy. If Spring Valley residents do not raise their concern and ask the county to find money in the budget for this park RIGHT NOW, then this park could get postponed for another couple of years or more.
Is a Community park that will benefit so many children for decades worth two minutes of your time today?
Estimated Construction Start: TBD
Estimated Time To Completion: 12 - 16 Months

Calavo Park is a shovel ready regional asset that is ready to build located at the junction of County of San Diego Supervisorial Districts 1, 2, & 4 here in Spring Valley. Constituents of all three districts will use and benefit from this park. Construction bids that the County recently solicited came in over what was budgeted.
RIGHT NOW is our time as a community to let the County know how important Calavo Park and its included Skatepark is to us.
