For more than 75 years, hundreds of thousands of recruits were trained at Naval Training Center (NTC), San Diego and were proven worthy to serve their country in the United States Navy. It was here that these young men and women matured and stepped up to the challenges of military duty.
Now inactive and designated a historic property, NTC San Diego continues to hold the lessons of truth and goodness for past generations of Naval recruits. As such, NTC has once again become a focal point for a new generation of adventurers. Renovated and restored, a central portion of NTC San Diego has opened as the NTC Promenade, a center for civics, arts and culture, as well as a celebration of San Diego?s proud Naval heritage.
Liberty Station, the site of the former Naval Training Center (NTC), is a planned pedestrian-oriented, mixed-use community. Encompassing approximately 360 acres in San Diego's famed Point Loma neighborhood, Liberty Station provides unprecedented opportunities for residential housing, education, cultural exploration, and diverse recreational interests. Enjoy the NTC Promenade which will be an engaging 28-acre creative district brimming with innovation, collaboration and celebration in an historic setting at Liberty Station. NTC Promenade will be home to hundreds of nonprofits and other organizations representing the best of San Diego. Just as the Navy helped define San Diego in the 20 th century, these organizations will help define San Diego in the 21 st century as an innovative, creative community.
Today, the grounds that echo with naval lore now blossom with renewed vigor and vitality. A melting pot for historical exploration, cultural enrichment and personal growth, Liberty Station will be a vibrant gathering place for families, artisans, businesses and community cultural groups. Enjoy leisurely strolls on the 46 acre park, play a round of golf at Sail Ho Golf Course, dine at Sammy?s Woodfired Pizza, or grab a coffee at Starbucks. The boat channel runs parallel to the park which makes a great launch for kayaks. A long waterfront pathway is great for joggers, rollerblading or biking or just a place to enjoy a waterfront picnic. When the park is completed it will be the second largest waterfront park in San Diego. For those who are fortunate to make Liberty Station their home, a collection of new residences, restaurants, shopping and recreation offers the quintessential San Diego lifestyle.
