Why San Diego is Great for Team Building
The practical reasons San Diego works when you need to get a team together.
-
A Former Naval Base, Now a Park
Liberty Station: 360 acres of the old Naval Training Center in Point Loma, now converted to restaurants, galleries, and open space — a distinctive, verified local venue that doesn’t feel like a typical event space.
-
Outdoor Venues Built to Last
Balboa Park covers 1,200 acres of gardens and museums. Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve sits on the coast between La Jolla and Del Mar, with group hikes arranged through its own Special Event Office.
-
Venues for Any Group Size
The Convention Center holds 615,700 square feet of exhibit space. Right next door, the San Diego Marriott Marquis & Marina adds another 271,186 square feet of function space. Petco Park brings 70 suites and 5,000 club seats to the mix for anything that leans more toward hospitality than a ballroom.
-
A Downtown You Can Walk
East Village, Little Italy, and the Marina District make up downtown San Diego. The Convention Center sits in the Marina District, and the San Diego Marriott Marquis & Marina is close enough to walk as well.
-
Somewhere to Celebrate After
The Gaslamp Quarter alone has more than 90 historic buildings turned into restaurants and bars. North Park runs on microbreweries and cocktail spots around 30th Street and University Avenue. Either one works for a wrap-up celebration
