Sweetwater Community Garden in Bonita spans 3.3 acres within Sweetwater Regional Park at the corner of Bonita Road and Sweetwater Road, offering more than 200 individual garden plots to residents of the 91902 ZIP code and surrounding communities. Standard plots measure 20 by 20 feet with dedicated hose bibs, while half-plots at 10 by 20 feet share water access between neighbors — a layout that draws gardeners from native-plant enthusiasts to food-production growers, including customers of Bonita Creek Nursery on the same Sweetwater Road corridor. The County of San Diego Department of Parks and Recreation owns the site, with day-to-day management handled by the Resource Conservation District of Greater San Diego County under a formal operating agreement. On-site infrastructure includes perimeter fencing, mulched pathways, two ADA-accessible raised beds, a gazebo with picnic tables, compost bins, restrooms, and a demonstration garden maintained by the Bonita Valley Garden Club — a resource catalog also referenced in programming at San Diego County Library – Bonita-Sunnyside Branch. Annual plot leases run on a July-through-June cycle at $372 for a full plot and $186 for a half plot as of the 2025 rate schedule, with a one-time $100 refundable deposit required at initial sign-up.
