Located in San Diego's ARTS DISTRICT Liberty Station, NTC North Promenade is a spacious outdoor lawn and courtyard surrounded by historic naval buildings.

Its Spanish Colonial Revival architecture and broad paved pathways offer an inviting atmosphere for a leisurely walk.
History
Originally part of the Naval Training Center San Diego, the NTC North Promenade has been transformed into a vibrant public space while preserving its rich military heritage. Established in the 1920s, the naval base played a significant role in U.S. military history until its closure in 1997. The repurposing of this area into Liberty Station and the creation of the promenade stand as a testament to the successful adaptation of historical spaces for community enjoyment.
