Coastal open space is a rarity in San Diego. Many North County residents know the area as the Ponto open space. People for Ponto, a grassroots community organization, want the Ponto property to be developed in what they say is the "right way." While this property has not been designated as open space, the city has made a strong commitment to preserving open space throughout the community. Additional information about the city's open space program and preservation efforts is available on the city's open space webpage."
