Project Background

The Mission Bay South Shores General Development Plan (GDP) project is designed to update the GDP for the existing park in Mission Bay. The objective of the GDP is to define the best uses for the developed and undeveloped areas of South Shores Park through community outreach. As part of the GDP process, we need input from the community. Please click on the button below to take a quick survey about what potential elements of this project are important to you. This survey will remain open through Friday, Oct. 18.
