Last update: July 31, 2026
Information on the park is currently available on the County of San Diego Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) website, in addition to a new webpage created specifically for Alpine Community Park.
Park comments and questions may be sent via email to Park Project Manager Yoshihito Nagata at Yoshihito.nagata@sdcounty.ca.gov.
You can also contact the Alpine Community Planning Group – comprised of 15 Alpine residents who are committed to shaping the future of the Alpine community. County BOS Policy I-1 states that all Alpine Community Planning Group members must reside in Alpine.
The County has hosted five public meetings for the park project. These events were publicized by mailed flyer to residents and businesses in the immediate vicinity and community of Alpine, and by flyer on the DPR website and social media channels (Facebook, Twitter and Instagram). Outreach events were also shared with local media and in various stakeholder meetings. The County Board of Supervisors (BOS) Policy I-44 requires only two public outreach meetings, though DPR made the decision to host several additional meetings and has actively participated in numerous meetings of the Alpine Community Planning Group.
Here is the breakdown:
The first public meeting invitation flyer was sent to residents within a 1-mile radius of the park, which surpasses the minimum requirement of a quarter mile from the park, per BOS Policy I-44. The meeting invitation flyer was also posted to DPR’s website and social media channels.
The second, third, and fourth public meeting invitation flyers were sent via Every Door Direct Mail to all single family and multi-family dwelling units in the 91901 zip code (about 5,000 homes) – expanding outreach well past what is required to ensure all Alpine residents had a voice in the design of their park. These meetings were also advertised on DPR’s website and social media channels, through the Alpine Community Planning Group and other stakeholders, and in the Alpine Sun.
The fifth public meeting invitation flyers were sent via Every Door Direct Mail to all single family and multi-family dwelling units and businesses in the 91901 zip code (about 5,000 homes) – expanding outreach well past what is required to ensure all Alpine residents had a voice in the design of their park. These meetings were also advertised on DPR’s website.
Surveys were electronic, and the links were shared several ways: During public meetings, in flyers sent to local residents (as stated above), and on DPR’s website and social media channels. There were two electronic surveys; one ran from June 29 to Aug. 10, 2019 (after the second public meeting) to gain input on general park design. Another was posted after the third public meeting, to collect feedback on specific features for the all- wheel and bike skills areas – since these are such highly customized amenities. At the end of each survey period, results were combined with other input received through public meetings, stakeholder meetings, and phone and email conversations. This cumulative data was summarized and shared in subsequent meetings and can also be found on the Alpine Community Park web page.
To date, in addition to our public outreach meetings, the County has hosted over a dozen stakeholder meetings with groups like Alpine Community Planning Group and their Parks’ Subcommittee, Save Alpine’s Heritage, Backcountry Land Trust, Alpine Fire, Eastern Alpine Association, San Diego Mountain Biking Association and Alpine Union School District. Feedback collected during these meetings contributed to the park design.
Alpine Community Park is located at 2480 South Grade Road, across from Calle Compadres and next to Wright’s Field. View the Map.
DPR has been working with the Alpine Community Planning Group and other stakeholders to find a suitable park location within Alpine since the 1990s. Many locations were evaluated and ruled out based on factors like their availability for purchase, size, street access and topography. The current site meets all criteria (please see below for further details).
For years, other potential park sites were reviewed and ruled out based on a variety of factors. Out of respect to the confidentiality of those sellers, we are not able to release their information. This particular property fits all of our acquisition criteria – and offered much more acreage than other sites, making it possible to build a mix of passive and active recreation opportunities while preserving approximately 70 acres of open space, but it was not available until 2019. When it became available, DPR pursued the acquisition with the approval of the County Board of Supervisors (BOS).
On Feb. 27, 2019, DPR submitted a letter to the BOS to request funds to purchase the 98-acre parcel of land, with intent to build an active recreation area on site. READ THE BOARD LETTER. The request was approved, leading to the purchase of the property from Wright’s Field Partnership, LLC on March 4, 2019.The request was approved, leading to the purchase of the property from Wright’s Field Partnership, LLC on March 4, 2019.
The site as has always been earmarked for active recreation. However, of the 98 acres, only about 25 will be developed for that purpose; the remaining approximately 70 acres of the land, which serves as a natural barrier between the park and Wright’s Field, will remain open space preserve.
By purchasing the land for a park, the County prevented it from becoming a master planned community or other large development. It is protected as a park, in perpetuity. Its size, breadth of amenities, and open space trail system are designed to meet both the current and future needs of the Alpine community, with features for residents of all ages, abilities and interests – and understanding that not all residents have the same access to safe recreation from home.
Early conversations about the search for a park in Alpine may have referenced smaller acreage, however, the purchase of the 98-acre parcel made it possible to expand acreage opportunities for both active and passive uses, in addition to creating an approximately 70-acre open space preserve. Approximately three
quarters of the land will be saved as open space, and the remaining quarter will accommodate active recreation amenities, as referenced in the BOARD LETTER.
DPR has a goal of providing 10 acres of public park land for every 1,000 residents in every community it serves, including Alpine. While there are some privately managed recreational spaces, which are operated under joint use agreements or as non-profit facilities, there are currently no County-managed public parks for Alpine residents. These 98 acres bring us closer to reaching our parkland-per-resident goals. The roughly 25 acres within the parcel that are dedicated to active recreation offer enough space to provide a diverse mix of opportunities – ensuring there are options for residents of all ages, abilities and interests.
It should be noted that places like schools that have fields and courts are only accessible to the public outside of school hours and only when not booked for other uses through the school. So, while beneficial, these amenities are not wholly public and there are restrictions on access.
Locating park amenities in a single area is more cost-effective and centralizes resources for better operation and maintenance over time. Additionally, there is very limited feasible park land in Alpine. Over the past three decades, dozens of other properties have been vetted and then removed from consideration based on factors like poor access, challenging topography, and unwilling property sellers. The County purchased one property that meets all the necessary criteria and can accommodate amenities for everyone.
In 2023, the total cost for design, environmental analysis and park construction was estimated at $45.6M. It is anticipated that park construction will move forward in phases, subject to BOS approval. Here is a breakdown by phase. Please note that recreational amenities within each construction phase are subject to change based on public bid and available funding:
Construction costs continue to rise, with higher prices for materials, labor, and transportation. This means future phases will likely cost more than originally estimated and costs will be refined as phases are supported for funding and brought forward for BOS consideration.
The County will pursue multiple funding sources to construct the park, which include but are not limited to: The County General Fund, Park Land Dedication Ordinance funds and grants.
On December 6, 2023, the County Board of Supervisors approved the project and certified the associated EIR prepared in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). On January 5, 2024, the Cleveland National Forest Foundation and the California Native Plant Society (Petitioners) filed a lawsuit, alleging approval of the project violated CEQA, the California Planning and Zoning Law, and County Ordinances. The Petitioners also sought declaratory relief, or clarification on the parties’ rights and obligations, regarding the County’s Biological Mitigation Ordinance (BMO), including whether the project is exempt from the BMO as an essential park project.
The Superior Court of the State of California (Superior Court) ruled in the County’s favor for all issues except for the CEQA claim regarding the EIR’s analysis of potential impacts related to western spadefoot toad, pallid bat, wildfire, and vehicle traffic public safety. On January 20, 2026, the Superior Court entered a judgment granting the petition for writ of mandate solely as to these CEQA issues. On January 23, 2026, the Superior Court issued a peremptory writ of mandate, ordering the County to set aside the Board’s certification of the EIR for the project and rescind all project approvals.
On April 22, 2026, the County Board of Supervisors set aside the certification of the 2023 Final EIR and rescinded all project approvals. In response to the Superior Court’s January 2026 writ of mandate, the County has prepared the 2026 Recirculated Draft EIR to update the applicable EIR sections to address the CEQA deficiencies identified by the Superior Court. The 2026 Recirculated Draft EIR is being circulated for public review from July 31, 2026 – September 14, 2026. The County anticipates returning to the Board of Supervisors with the revised document for consideration in Fiscal Year 2026-27. The revised document will be posted at least 30 days before the Board date for the public to access.
Additionally, the design team is preparing construction documents for Phase 1, which include grading, utility, site and building plans. The plans are scheduled to be completed in Fall 2026. Phase 1’s construction schedule will be determined when the revised CEQA document is approved.
Alpine Community Park will be open sunrise to sunset, seven days a week. There will be 1 gate at the completion of Phase 1, and an additional gate in future phases. Both will be locked when the park is closed.
Parks are for everyone, and Alpine Community Park is no exception. Amenities have been selected to match the priorities of residents of all ages, abilities and interests. We expect park visitors to adhere to park guidelines and County policies, which will be posted on signs throughout the park. Rules are essential to maintain order at the park, to promote safety and security, and to sustain the land and local wildlife.
Alpine Community Park will likely be used by local residents and residents of neighboring rural communities. DPR does not anticipate the park will draw hundreds of people on a daily basis, however, there will be ample room for families to spread out, and for groups to play games on the fields or to host small gatherings in designated picnic areas.
Park staff work before, during and after park hours. They will receive support from live-on volunteer hosts. Maintenance projects include, but are not limited to: emptying trash, cleaning restrooms, mowing and irrigating lawns, tree and shrub maintenance, stormwater management and erosion control, debris removal, graffiti abatement, protection of natural and cultural resources, and the enforcement of all DPR codes and policies. The community will not be responsible for maintenance fees.
Water will be provided by the Padre Dam Municipal Water District. Irrigation will be provided by large-radius rotor nozzles and controlled by Calsense, a smart system for efficient, remote management.
Currently the baseball field, which will be constructed as part of a future phases, is proposed to be turf, while the remainder of the open areas are natural grass.
The park will be constructed in phases, with different amenities included in each phase. REVIEW THE DESIGN CONCEPT to see the full list of amenities and where they will likely be located.
Phase 1 may include a dog park, playgrounds, picnic areas, an equestrian staging area, a community garden, sports courts, park office and restrooms, a volunteer pad, and parking. Future phases will include open grass areas, a baseball field for pick-up play and practices, all-wheel area, bike skills course, fitness stations, multi-purpose building, a second restroom, and additional trails and parking.
Current plans measure the all-wheel area at 0.5-0.75 acres.
The bike skills area within Alpine Community Park will have some of the same features, but it is designed on a much smaller scale, and intended for local, family-focused use.
Current plans anticipate 4 pickleball courts, which will be overlaid on 2 tennis courts.
While the improvements to the existing sports fields at Joan McQueen Middle School are now complete, our discussions with community groups tell us there is still need for more baseball fields in Alpine, especially when school is in session or when school fields are booked for other purposes.
Multiple configurations for the proposed baseball field have been assessed. The parking lot will be buffered by both a stormwater basin and a landscaped mound, to protect both vehicles and passersby from fly balls.
The baseball field and open turf areas may be used for team practices but are not available for tournament play. These areas remain open to the public when not reserved. Organized sports groups may reserve the field through the Department of Parks and Recreation's field allocation process. Reservation priority will be given to local recreational youth teams serving the Alpine community, followed by competitive youth organizations and adult sports teams, in accordance with the Department's field allocation policy.
DPR staff will put together a plan to rent garden plots to local residents. That plan will be publicized to the local community and details will also be shared on DPR’s website, sdparks.org. There may be opportunities to customize the garden beyond basic infrastructure, for example, adding a memorial bench or social space. These possibilities will be discussed at a future date and will be based on community input and available funding.
There will be two ADA accessible restroom buildings, one on the north side of the park near the playground and community building as part of Phase 1, and the other on the south side of the park near the multi-use fields, as part of a future phase.
Yes, shade structures will be added in places like picnic areas and playgrounds. Materials will be durable and designed to match the character of the park and Alpine community. Trees will provide additional shade throughout the park.
Yes, Phase 1 may include 3 multi-level camp grills and 1 hot ash receptacle. The number of grills and hot ash receptacles for future phases will be updated at a later date. If the National Weather Service issues a Red Flag Warning for the area, BBQ use would be temporarily halted until that warning has been lifted, with signs posted and increased ranger patrols.
Yes, there will be drinking fountains in the park, as well as water in the equestrian staging area.
Currently, there are no plans to add water features like decorative fountains, splash pads or fishing ponds. However, DPR will be installing irrigation and plumbing for restrooms and drinking fountains and/or water refilling stations.
A comprehensive public outreach summary report is available on our website. The top 10 amenities requested by community members, by order of preference, were multi-use trails, a bike area, a skate area, a dog park, nature-based play areas, picnic areas/shelters, an amphitheater, bouldering opportunities, a staging area for equestrians and exercise stations.
It should be noted that the results of these surveys were combined with input received by phone, email, industry experts, stakeholders (Alpine Fire Authority, Alpine Community Planning Group, Alpine Union School District, etc.), and in adherence to goals outlined in the Parks Master Plan. For additional information on surveys and the survey process, visit the Communications and outreach section of this document.
We are not building a perimeter trail, however, there will be a path on County land along South Grade Road, and there will be many multi-use trails within the park for hiking, biking or riding a horse. Trails may be paved in some areas and built of natural substances like soil or decomposed granite in others. Details will be outlined in the final design plan.
You do not have to enter the park to connect to trails that lead into Wright’s Field. However, signs will be posted to inform visitors when they are entering or leaving County-maintained land.
Residents who have been accessing Wright’s Field from the east have been trespassing on private property. Alpine Community Park provides safe and legal access to those same trails, with parking.
In addition to educational signs and ranger-led interpretive programs, we will partner with the community, local non-profits and local law enforcement, to identify programs that are of interest to Alpine residents.
Park programs typically teach visitors about the land and local wildlife, area history, and of the importance of park stewardship. Some events may be coordinated after hours, like night hikes and star gazing experiences with astronomy clubs. VIEW OUR SEASONAL PROGRAM GUIDES to learn more about the types of programs that are held in County parks.
Programs at the park will be established based on recommendations from residents, and according to the many amenities that will exist on site. For example, more active older adults may enjoy hiking or biking along trails, working out at fitness stations, or taking an instructor-led Yoga or Zumba class. Less active older adults may enjoy working with plants in the community garden, reading a book on a shaded park bench or socializing at the dog park.
Yes, the project will need to comply with CEQA and all applicable environmental regulations, including the Federal and State Endangered Species Act, the California Natural Communities Conservation Act, the National Environmental Policy Act and the regional Multiple Species Conservation Program (MSCP).
On December 6, 2023, the County Board of Supervisors approved the project and certified the associated EIR prepared in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). On January 5, 2024, the Cleveland National Forest Foundation and the California Native Plant Society (Petitioners) filed a lawsuit, alleging approval of the project violated CEQA, the California Planning and Zoning Law, and County Ordinances. The Petitioners also sought declaratory relief, or clarification on the parties’ rights and obligations, regarding the County’s Biological Mitigation Ordinance (BMO), including whether the project is exempt from the BMO as an essential park project.
The Superior Court of the State of California (Superior Court) ruled in the County’s favor for all issues except for the CEQA claim regarding the EIR’s analysis of potential impacts related to western spadefoot toad, pallid bat, wildfire, and vehicle traffic public safety. On January 20, 2026, the Superior Court entered a judgment granting the petition for writ of mandate solely as to these CEQA issues. On January 23, 2026, the Superior Court issued a peremptory writ of mandate, ordering the County to set aside the Board’s certification of the EIR for the project and rescind all project approvals.
On April 22, 2026, the County Board of Supervisors set aside the certification of the 2023 Final EIR and rescinded all project approvals. In response to the Superior Court’s January 2026 writ of mandate, the County has prepared the 2026 Recirculated Draft EIR to update the applicable EIR sections to address the CEQA deficiencies identified by the Superior Court. The 2026 Recirculated Draft EIR is being circulated for public review from July 31, 2026 – September 14, 2026. The County anticipates returning to the Board of Supervisors with the revised document for consideration in Fiscal Year 2026-27. The revised document will be posted at least 30 days before the Board date for the public to access.
The project complies with the MSCP. Approximately 25 acres of the 98-acre property will be used for an active recreation area, freeing the rest of the acreage for open space. The development footprint for the active recreation area was strategically placed in a location that is close to existing development to minimize environmental impacts.
The roughly 70-acre open space portion of the property edges up to Wright’s Field Preserve, which allows for a larger contiguous block of wildlife habit between both properties. County land will be preserved for the future, protecting the land and local wildlife from future development.
Trails and trail use are allowed within MSCP Preserve lands. The trail system within the open space portion of the property will be largely crafted from existing trails. However, some existing trails will be closed and allowed to revegetate. Any new paths that are added will be carefully located and constructed to protect the flora and fauna on site. Trails and trail boundaries will be clearly labeled. Free, ranger-led interpretive programs and other communication tactics like electronic newsletters, flyers and community meetings will extend messages of protection, preservation and the importance of staying on trails.
DPR will monitor trail use within the open space portion of the property. A Resource Management Plan (RMP) will be prepared for the open space portion of the property. The RMP will guide the management of open space lands. DPR uses an adaptive management model to manage its preserves. Adaptive management allows DPR to quickly and effectively identify and address any threats, stressors or changing conditions that could potentially impact sensitive resources. Remedies include trail closures and trail reroutes.
Biological surveys of sensitive species on local, state and federal lists identified the presence of Quino checkerspot butterfly within both the County acreage and that of nearby Wright’s Field. Staff are working closely with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and California Department of Fish and Wildlife to address this issue, and to design the park and trails in a manner that minimizes impacts to butterfly habitat. The County will be restoring Quino checkerspot butterfly habitat on-site. In addition, biological surveys determined the presence of western spadefoot toad. The County will be creating basins to restore western spadefoot breeding habitat, in addition to preserving habitat land for the species. DPR staff work every day to balance recreation opportunities with efforts to protect and preserve land and local wildlife.
Other sensitive species that were analyzed but not detected include San Diego Fairy Shrimp, Hermes Copper Butterfly, and coastal California Gnatcatcher.
Alpine Community Park is being designed around the existing Engelmann oaks. We will work with our staff agricultural scientist and biologists to avoid direct and minimize indirect impacts. We’re doing what we can to protect our trees and to be forward-thinking when it comes to ways to save them. Our county-wide Heritage Tree Preservation Program was initiated to catalog existing mature trees and to establish requirements for maintaining tree diversity and density in all County Parks. Learn more about the DPR’s Heritage Tree Preservation Program HERE.
The landscape plan will be consistent with the County’s Water Efficient Landscape Design Manual and County regulations related to water conservation in landscaping. Efforts are always made to plant native and drought-tolerant vegetation.
The 98-acre parcel was purchased to provide both active and passive recreation opportunities to Alpine residents. The 26-acre active recreation area was sited adjacent to existing development to minimize impacts to Wright’s Field Preserve. The remaining 70 acres will be preserved as open space and serve as a buffer to Wright’s Field Preserve, maintaining a continuity of open space.
All environmental standards will be met, and all policies will be adhered to at the local, state and federal level. DPR will continue to work closely with agencies to preserve native habitats.
Some boulders will be removed. Boulders that are moved may be repurposed on site as part of the design plan, for example, in a nature play area.
By building a park within a community, residents have reason to stay and play local, versus driving far distances to enjoy the same amenities at other parks. This will help the County meet goals associated with the reduction of Greenhouse Gas emissions generated from activities within the unincorporated County.
Solar panels exist at many County parks and properties. The DPR Development team is currently evaluating solar power options based on resources and projected power needs.
Safety and security are top priorities for DPR. We strive to be a good neighbor, and we work closely with local law enforcement and emergency personnel. We maintain a constant presence, with rangers patrolling parks during open hours, live-on volunteer hosts monitoring the park after hours, and evening patrols by the Sheriff’s Department.
Safety guidelines and contact information will be posted on signs throughout the park. We encourage all park users to report concerns to park staff, the County Sheriff and/or 911.
A Fire and Emergency Assessment is being prepared for the park and includes Wright’s Field Preserve in the assessment. Preliminary analysis does show that response times for fire or medical emergencies are within 5 minutes and no new or additional fire services beyond what is currently provided are necessary. The analysis also shows no new or unreasonable wildfire risks will be created by the proposed park. The County
Fire Marshal and Alpine Fire District will review and approve the assessment, which will be finalized during the environmental impact report process.
The County Fire Marshal and Alpine Fire District have reviewed the park concept plan and have provided input on fire safety – information that has been incorporated into the park design. Installation of manicured, irrigated landscaping such as lawns and other fire-resistant plantings will offer a fire-safe area. Additionally, the paved parking lot, basketball and pickleball courts, equestrian area and other cleared assets will serve as not only to buffer and protect the park from wildfire spread, but also to provide a Temporary Safe Refuge Area (TSRA) or safe haven for park users, neighbors and even animals during a wildfire.DPR has procedures for the enforcement of “Open Flame Bans” that are initiated by the declaration of a Red Flag Warning. When a warning is issued, field staff begin the process of shutting down all BBQs by signing and bagging/taping them off until the warning is lifted. Additional signage is posted at park entrances and throughout the park. Park staff patrol the park to enforce the ban.
Additionally, smoking will be prohibited at the park as it is at all DPR facilities, and DPR staff will continue to coordinate with Alpine Fire District on maintaining fuel modification zones to ensure the park is a safe place to recreate.
To address the Court’s order, additional analysis related to wildfire risks has been completed and is currently available for public review online.
Phase 1 will include security camera surveillance around the administration building. DPR will be installing downward-facing motion-detection lights in some areas, to provide additional safety after hours.
This may change once the park is in operation, based on recommendations from staff and on-site volunteers.
As it relates to park design, DPR engaged the County Sheriff’s Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design team – who reviewed and shared comments on the draft design concept plan the park. That feedback, and their recommendations, were incorporated into the final park design.
Rangers will patrol the park regularly to prevent crime from occurring, and to remind guests of the policies and guidelines that are in place for their safety and for the safety of the land and local environment. If a situation escalates, local law enforcement will also be dispatched.
If a homeless encampment is found on DPR land, the encampment size and location is documented. Staff inform occupants that unpermitted camping is not allowed and provide occupants with homeless outreach resources. Staff then post a notice to vacate the area. If an occupant refuses to leave, law enforcement is
dispatched. If the encampment is not on DPR land, but near it, staff act as good neighbors and contact the affected property owner(s). They may also assist with next steps.
Yes! Because of the abundance of open space and parking, many County properties have played host to emergency workers and vehicles during disasters. The County Office of Emergency Services coordinates locations by community, and may request use of a park, like Alpine Community Park, as an evacuation zone, or as a staging area for emergency personnel. DPR staff are also trained and ready to serve.
Yes, potential traffic impacts associated with the park were analyzed in the 2023 Final Environmental Impact Report and have been updated in the 2026 Recirculated Draft EIR, which is currently out for public review from July 31, 2026 through September 14, 2026.
There will be two entry points and a frontage road along South Grade Road. As part of Phase 1, the northernmost access point will be across Via Compadres. In future phases, a second point of access will be installed past the bend on South Grade Road near Via Viejas. The park can also be safely accessed through Wright’s Field Preserve.
DPR is coordinating with the Department of Public Works (DPW) on a long-term plan to provide improved, safe pedestrian access to the park on South Grade Road via trails and pathways. Pathway improvements along South Grade Road will need to be added and prioritized in the DPW Capital Improvement Program for the Alpine community. More information on this process can be found on DPW’s website: Engineering Services (sandiegocounty.gov).
Calle de Compadres is a County-maintained public road; therefore, access will not be restricted. However, park visitors will be able to turn around in Alpine Community Park, so there may no longer be a need to use neighboring streets for that purpose.
While this is not incorporated into the current plan, staff will consider options based on existing trails and access, and impacts to the local environment. DPR is coordinating with DPW on a long-term plan to provide improved, safe pedestrian access to the park on South Grade Road via trails and pathways.
Pathway improvements along South Grade Road will need to be added and prioritized in the DPW Capital
Improvement Program for the Alpine community. More information on this process can be found on DPW’s website: Engineering Services (sandiegocounty.gov).
While this supports DPR’s efforts to promote Safe Routes to School/Nature, Backcountry Land Trust (BCLT) manages the land between Alpine Community Park and the school. Conversations are ongoing; in the meantime, DPR’s intention is for students and residents to use Wright’s Field Preserve public trail system to safely access park.
Phase 1 is expected to include 53 passenger vehicle parking spots, 11 of which are ADA accessible, and 11 equestrian trailer parking spots. A total of 240 parking spaces is anticipated for full buildout of the park. Parking areas will be made of either permeable or impermeable surfaces, or both and able to accommodate everything from small, personal vehicles to pick-up trucks, vans and horse trailers.
A number of questions have surfaced from local residents concerned with park impacts to their private properties. Below, we’ve summarized the comments into themes and have provided responses:
DPR has a full-time volunteer coordinator who manages volunteer events and opportunities across San Diego County. They will manage the hiring of the live-on host(s) and will help schedule other volunteer activities at the park, as needed and as requested by park staff.
There are many facilities throughout the County system that have live-on volunteer hosts, for example, Los Peñasquitos Canyon County Preserve, Agua Caliente County Park, Stelzer County Park, and Flinn Springs County Park. DPR’s volunteer coordinator works closely with park staff to vet volunteer candidates and ensure they are a good fit for the park and its unique demands.
Contact DPR’s VOLUNTEER COORDINATOR to discuss options for becoming a live-on volunteer host at Alpine Community Park, or other locales across the region. Terms span 6 months and are renewable pending evaluation. In exchange for services rendered, live-on volunteer hosts are granted a volunteer pad with power, water and sewer hookups. They must provide their own trailer or RV and other personal niceties.
