Mission Trails East Fortuna Field Station

Spurlock was commissioned by Davy Architecture and the City of San Diego to provide services through design and construction for the new East Fortuna Field Station within the Mission Trails Regional Park. Located within an existing 12-acre multi-use staging area, the new Field Station is accessible by horse riders, hikers and bicyclists. The facility houses the park’s maintenance facility, park rangers’ offices, a conference room, a display and information room, public restrooms, a covered group picnic shelter, and a screened storage yard. ADA site improvements include accessible parking stalls, a footbridge, and ample seating areas. Landscape features include a native plant palette, bioswales, and hardscape materials that reflect the local environment.This important park investment gives rangers improved resources and a state-of-the-art facility to better protect the park and engage with park visitors.

Included in the project is public artwork created by local artist Roman de Salvo. The piece is called “Fountain Mountain,” and features a large boulder with details carved into its surface. A flowing drinking fountain fixtures rises out of the highest point of the boulder.
