The parking lot was closed to vehicles and was set to reopen at 4 p.m. on Friday. This is the first step in transitioning the former vacant land into a County Park Natural Area.
On March 16th, the Board of Supervisors approved adding the land to the County Park System and accepted a grant that, along with other funding, will allow the County to restore the parking lot by adding natural colored rock and gravel to create a better parking surface, install trash cans, place boulders to protect cultural resources, add bioswales to manage the drainage of the site and install accessible parking with an overlook area.
