Friends of Del Mar Parks Say No to Development

Friends of Del Mar Parks is sending out the message that we are committed to raising the funds necessary to keep Del Mar Shores Park as recreational, educational and open space, and avoid potential development on the property as the City of Del Mar seeks ways to complete payments on the $3.5 million loan. Articles have recently appeared in the Del Mar Times, Del Mar Village Voice and the Sandpiper, and mailings are scheduled for mid-July.
