Maruta Gardner Playground
1100 West Mission Bay Drive, San Diego, CA 92109
The Maruta Gardner Playground is named after a longtime local and activist who was hit and killed by a drunk driver in 2016 while cleaning up graffiti near the jetty. The multi-million-dollar rebuild saw the construction of new rest rooms, a new shade structure, enhanced security lighting, and curb ramps to make the playground compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
