The Met is a public, innovative, student-centered school in the San Diego Unified School District, and part of the Big Picture Learning network. At the Met, we believe that every student has unique interests, skills, cultural assets, and learning needs, and as such, our teachers focus on "one student at a time," building a close relationship with each student and truly personalizing each student's educational path. We are located on the campus of San Diego Mesa College, and we leverage our strong relationship with Mesa to provide students with unparalleled college access and preparation. Students participate in twice weekly internships that nurture their interests, curiosities and passions.
The Parks, Recreation and Forestry Department recently changed software systems and you can now book your campground stay, reserve a picnic shelter, or rent a court at 5th Street Gym.

Parks builds and maintains the parks in the Brookings Parks system, which comprises more than 640 acres. Parks also cooperates closely with the Brookings School District in building and maintaining joint school / park facilities.
Parks maintains a fully equipped maintenance fleet of vehicles, mowers and specialty equipment. Full-time staff, assisted by seasonal employees, provide all maintenance and plays a significant role in developing and constructing new parks. For more information, please refer to the Park Master Plan (PDF).
Recreation provides a wide range of youth, adult and family public recreational activities. City recreation exists to provide opportunities for leisure time activities at an affordable cost, usually subsidized by public funds, which are not feasible or easily provided by the private sector.
The purpose of the Forestry section of Parks, Recreation and Forestry is to preserve and perpetuate one of the community's most valuable natural resource and asset - its municipal forest of trees on public property, including boulevards, parks and other city properties. The City of Brookings is responsible for the planting, care and maintenance and removal / replacement of trees on public property, including city boulevards, parks and schools.
Brookings Parks, Recreation and Forestry Department periodically takes photos of participants in our programs, during special events and in the parks. These photos may be used in the City's media publications.
