Reading Time: < 1 minute

If you’re planning a trip to the Waterfront Park this week, keep in mind the downtown park will be closed to the public Thursday, July 23.

The Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) has reserved all but the playground for its 2015 User Conference Party.

Some 10,000 conference attendees and their families are expected to take part in the festivities which will include food, drinks and live entertainment. While the party runs from 5:30 to 10 p.m., the park will be closed the entire day starting at 6 a.m. to allow for set-up of the event.

Attendees will be arriving by bus from the San Diego Convention Center. As part of the event, Harbor Drive between Ash and Grape Streets will be closed to traffic between 4 and 11 p.m.
