Park News, Weather Updates & Park Closures
(Updated 05/13/13)

  • The Spring Valley Park pavilion area landscape improvements project will begin on April 15th. The project is expected to conclude by May 17th.  The pavilion area will be closed and unavailable for reservation during construction. We look forward to opening up the area for reservations once landscape and safety enhancements are complete.

  • Agua Caliente County Park will be closed from May 28 - August 30 due to extreme heat.

  • Vallecito County Park will be closed from May 28 - August 30 due to extreme heat.

  • Lincoln Acres County Park will have park construction until mid-June, 2013.  The playgrounds, community building, and library will not be affected.  Thank you for your patience as we continue to improve the park for patron use.
