Deer Valley Regional Park Expansion

acquired

The East Bay Regional Park District acquired 140 acres adjacent to Deer Valley Regional Park in partnership with the East Contra Costa County Habitat Conservancy. The property, located in eastern unincorporated Contra Costa County, will be added to Deer Valley Regional Park to protect critical habitat and expand public access to nature. The land includes oak woodland, oak savanna, grasslands, riparian habitat, and a seasonal pond, supporting various species including endangered ones. A restrictive covenant ensures protection of wildlife and habitat values while permitting compatible public recreation.
