Official tipsThe park's centerpiece is interactive water play: an 830-foot-long fountain running nearly the length of the park with jets shooting water 14 feet into the air, and basins that create a one-inch-deep splash area made for children, alongside a large interactive playground and civic green (County of San Diego Parks). County parks are open 365 days a year; local parks run sunrise to sunset. No alcohol is allowed at Waterfront Park, and the active recreation area can close during storms.
