Be a Part of History – Volunteer at the Waterfront Park’s Grand Opening

After more than 100 years, the dream for a waterfront park is finally becoming a reality. The grand opening celebration is taking place Saturday, May 10 outside the County Administration Center and volunteers are needed to help make this historic event a success.

Plans are in the works for a huge celebration with live music, a classic car show, farmer’s market, food truck pavilion, a sports zone with inflatable games, kids zone and more.  

If you’d like to help or know of any civic groups that would like to help mark this day in history, there are plenty of volunteer opportunities. The day-long party starts with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 10 a.m. but volunteers will be needed for three-hour shifts starting from the early morning hours until 7 p.m.

Help is needed at the stage, the kids and sports zones, and a beer and wine garden. Volunteers are also needed for the setup and breakdown of various booths, clean-up duty and crowd control. Each volunteer will receive a T-shirt commemorating the grand opening. Bragging rights for taking part in one of the County’s most momentous events are already a given!

Ready to pitch in? The countdown is on, so contact Volunteer Coordinator Cheryl Wegner as soon as you can at (858) 966-1335 or email her at cheryl.wegner@sdcounty.ca.gov.
