San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria, City Councilmember Jennifer Campbell and other residents marked the reopening of the Tecolote Shores North playground in Mission Bay.

The $3.8 million project features upgraded play equipment for better access, an adult fitness course, shade structures, improved landscaping and irrigation, a city spokesman said. Along with a retrofitted comfort station, the project also includes an improved parking lot and an ADA-compliant pathway, with security lighting that connects Tecolote Shores North and Tecolote Shores South.
