ALPINE
Two years after San Diego County spent about $1.6 million to buy nearly 100 acres of parkland in Alpine, plans are finally moving forward to build the rural community its long-awaited county park.
The 24-acre park will be located at 2480 South Grade Road off, around the corner from Tavern Road off Interstate 8. The park will be open from dawn until dusk, will be fenced and gated with two main entrances, and will have someone living on the premises.
The county says it could start building the first of three planned phases as soon as this fall, with an estimated opening sometime in late 2022. The county estimates the total cost to build the park will be about $28 million.
