City of San Diego Joint Use Facilities Tracking Sheet

San Diego Unified School District

The City and San Diego Unified School District have been cooperating in the joint use of numerous recreational facilities since 1948. A list of the available joint use facilities including location, size, and amenities is available:

It is one of the largest joint use programs in the country and continues to grow with the ongoing implementation of the Play All Day Program, which plans to add over 45 new joint-use recreational facilities. The joint use program allows for the shared use of public facilities and resources. The program fills an essential gap in addressing the City’s need for more parkland and additional recreational opportunities in our communities, particularly in the older urbanized communities where there is little available land for new parks. The Program also advances the San Diego Unified School District’s goal to develop quality schools in every neighborhood that provide resources and support the needs of the communities that they serve.
