Walking & Sharing
Come join us! As the Paseo takes shape, we’re inviting anyone interested to walk with us to share their ideas and insights on what will make the Paseo even more enjoyable – the walk starts every Saturday at 10:30 am sharp (weather permitting) in front of the Hilton San Diego Bayfront (grassy area near the foot of the Embarcadero). See below who has recently joined us.
On January 27th members of the design teams and our sponsors helped us kicked-off the walks.
