Liberty Station – experience the present and the future
Liberty Station is a large commercial development that sprawls across the grounds of a former naval training center. It’s home to stylish bars, restaurants, and boutiques, as well as Liberty Public Market, filled with gourmet eateries and shops. There are also art galleries and several small museums housed in Spanish Colonial Revival buildings. Along the waterfront, NTC Park has grassy lawns and bike paths.
History
Liberty Station, formerly known the Naval Training Center San Diego, welcomed its first Navy recruits in 1923. After training up to 50,000 recruits a year for over 60 years, Liberty Station is now San Diego’s Town Square. As you walk through the historic grounds, parks, and open spaces, take a step back in time.
The company McMillan sold the retail portion of Liberty Station to Seligman, a commercial developer, for $158 million.
