Cloverdale schedules June 6 grand opening for Soda Springs Ranch open space
Summary
Staff reported completion of ADA parking, picnic pads and vegetation management at Soda Springs Ranch and set a tentative grand opening for Saturday, June 6 at 10 a.m.; trail maps, flyers and a short hike are planned for the event.
Parks and operations staff told the subcommittee that work at Soda Springs Ranch and Portafield Creek open space is substantially complete. ADA parking and a rebuilt driveway, culvert work and picnic pads are finished; vegetation management and a firebreak on the east side of the park were completed with assistance from the local fire chiefs, and staff arranged prescribed burns and management to reduce fire risk.
Staff tentatively scheduled a grand opening for Saturday, June 6 at 10 a.m., and said they will distribute trail maps, a flyer on local plant and animal species and provide refreshments; staff are purchasing additional picnic tables, including accessible pads close to the main entrance. County regional parks is providing goat grazing on the county side and will extend work to the city side, staff said.
Why it matters: The open-space project provides new recreational access and fuels local recreation and education opportunities; completed ADA work and safety-driven vegetation management are key milestones.
Next steps: Staff will finalize outreach materials, set the grand‑opening schedule and coordinate invitations to community partners and trail builders.
