The City of San Marcos opened its new Las Abejas Park on Monday, March 6 – the City’s 38th park to open. The park is located at 999 Woodhaven Road and includes a beautiful new playground for children ages 2 to 5 and 5 to 12. The park will have a picnic shelter and BBQ spaces available for residents and visitors to use for picnics at the park. Additionally, there will be an open green space for children to use for passive play.
“The City of San Marcos is very excited to provide an additional space for friends and family to gather as we continue our legacy as San Parkos,” said Mayor Rebecca Jones during her grand opening remarks.
The City invited the community to provide their input when naming the new park. In Spanish, Las Abejas translates to “The Bees.” The naming of the park not only represents the significance of bees to the economy and biodiversity of the San Diego County, but also the Spanish heritage of San Marcos.
“We are very excited to add the new park to our City and hope residents and visitors enjoy the scenery,” continued Mayor Jones at the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
