Shell Beach Stairs
Shell Beach, located at the south end of Scripps Park, was recently just reopened after a near-by bluff collapse forced the temporary closure down to the popular beach. These stairs, like so many other stairs and access areas along the La Jolla shoreline, are threatened by their failing condition. The Shell Beach stairs need rebuilding/repair […]
Coast Walk Trail Maintenance
Coast Walk Trail is a favorite and incredibly scenic walk for all above the bluffs and La Jolla sea caves. The need is always ongoing for trail maintenance, bluff erosion control, and vegetation management (both natural and weeds).
South Casa Beach Stairs
The South Casa Beach Stairs, just south of Children’s Pool, has been closed for few years now, and the City has no resources or plans to repair. Very popular for both local and visitor beach-goers, its now for only the most nimble. These stairs are on our project short-list to fund, repair and open, but […]
Scripps Park/Coast Blvd Sidewalk Repair
The sidewalk along Coast Blvd as you enter the park from the Village is narrow and hazardous, and is unable to handle the high-traffic pedestrian visitors to the area. On a busy sunny day, people are forced to unsafely step down into the rutted area and pass-by. We’ve been proposing for years to the City […]
Scripps Park Lawn Maintenance and Landscape Design
Ellen Browning Scripps Park is the La Jolla ‘Seaside Crown Jewel’, and was first laid out and developed in 1887. This world-wide destination of a park is visited by over a million residents and visitors annually. However, decades of deferred maintenance has turned this grand lady of a park into a weathered and worn site. […]
Belvedere at Boomer Beach
The Belvedere above Boomer Beach has been the most popular and photographed of the four historic Belvederes along the coast. With incredible scenic views overlooking the bluffs, and proximity to where the sea lions haul-out— its a shame that this iconic La Jolla center-piece remains closed and chained. Erosion from mostly irrigation runoff has undermined […]
CoastScapes
The CoastScapes are 12 landscape design areas at the Children’s Pool Plaza area, and along the sidewalk up to Scripps Park and area. Currently, most CoastScapes have no or dying vegetation, and/or a few random succulents. These landscape sites that frame the most spectacular views need our beautification and maintenance efforts now!
La Jolla Cove Beach Stairs
Both sets of these Cove Beach stairs are cracked and have areas separating and falling away. And many times during the seasons, there’s a 2-3+ foot drop-off to the sand, and many folks are unable to access the beach. Also, in the last decade the beach as become even more popular with SCUBA divers, and […]
La Jolla Cove and Scripps Park Landscaping & Grass
Scripps Park and the La Jolla Cove have been a world-wide destination for over 100 years for its scenic and natural beauty, recreational opportunities, and wildlife viewing. The area attracts a 1-million plus visitors annually, and is one of the most photographed places in all of San Diego. However, Scripps Park’s infrastructure and condition has […]
Children’s Pool & Seawall
The Children’s Pool is almost 100 years old, and the seawall has experienced significant deterioration and crumbling over time. In recent years, winter storms have periodically crashed and broken the railing, leading to periodic closures. There’s been an engineering analysis performed on the seawall, and concluded the entire structure needs to be completely rebuilt to […]
