Pursuant to Governor Newsom’s Executive Order No. N-29-20 and the Alameda County Health Officer’s current Shelter in Place Order, effective March 31, 2020, the East Bay Regional Park District Headquarters will not be open to the public and the Board of Directors and staff will be participating in the Board Meeting via phone/video conferencing.
In the Bay Area we are blessed with over a million acres of beautiful public parkland. Californians love to get outdoors to enjoy nature and exercise, in fact they depend on it. For residents and their families it is an essential and fundamental part of their daily lives. Parks make lives better.
New temporary restrictions at select Regional Park parking lots and staging areas will be enforced this Easter weekend, Saturday/Sunday, April 11-12, 2020, with the goal to reduce crowds anticipated to come to parks this weekend.
The COVID-19 health emergency remains a serious and evolving situation. This past weekend, the Park District saw more people in parks than on a busy holiday.
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE THAT, the Board of Directors of the East Bay Regional Park District (Park District) will hold a special meeting on Thursday, March 19, 2020 at 11:30 a.m.
A “Shelter in Place” order has been issued through Tuesday, April 7, 2020 for six Bay Area counties – San Francisco, Santa Clara, San Mateo, Marin, Contra Costa, and Alameda – prohibiting non-essential business and directing residents to stay inside their homes and away from others as much as possible.
The health and safety of our visitors and employees is the Park District’s top priority. As a park agency representing two counties – Alameda and Contra Costa counties – the East Bay Regional Park District is proactively monitoring all information regarding Coronavirus (COVID-19) from local, state, and federal health agencies and is following all guidance and recommendations.
To mitigate the ever-increasing problem of soil erosion at Mission Peak Regional Preserve, the Park District will soon begin restoration work on a 1,700-foot long bootleg trail alongside Peak Trail.
The East Bay Regional Park District has launched a new mobile-friendly website.
