History

During the 1960s, the city of Fairfield was going to build a golf course on the land. However, they decided to transform the area into a trailed park instead.^[4] In 2012, nearly 200 oak and manzanita trees were removed from the park at the behest of PG&E, the major California power company, to avoid sparking fires.^[5]

In 2015, it was reported to be one of the best mountain biking spots in the San Francisco Bay Area by the Sacramento Bee.^[6]

In 2018, the park was closed due to a red flag warning, a wildfire probability warning.^[7] This is despite the fact the park has never suffered from a conflagration.^[8] Also, in 2018, the local 4-H club cleaned garbage, planted endemic trees, and planted moss spores over graffiti covered stones.^[9]

Wildlife

The park is home to cows and birds in addition to deer, fox, waterfowl, hawks and bobcats.^[10]
