RE-DESIGN OF SAN DIEGO BORDER PARK

 

New fence still prohibits human touch

Border Patrol construction crews have created a limited “public access area” inside Friendship Park that would prevent visitors on the U.S. side from drawing closer than five feet to the international boundary.  A sign posted at the entrance to the park lists “rules for entry,” among them,

“Physical contact with individuals in Mexico is not permitted.”    Local coalition leaders are calling for a new design allowing visitors easily to see, hear and touch each other at the historic border park.
