Congratulations! I celebrated with a long walk at the Martin Luther King, Jr. Regional Shoreline. It was a beautiful day, and naturally I took lots of photos.

Thanks to everyone: the voters, the park staff, the volunteers, the activists, and the park visitors.

Oil spill update ... oil spill south of Bay Bridge yesterday has caused some park closures today: Crown Beach, Middle Harbor, Alameda Point Trail Area, Encinal Beach. Also boat launch closures at Martin Luther King Shoreline, though park still open. Though no oil on beaches yet, they are closed to give birds and wildli...fe a place to retreat. Also, per Department of Fish and Game, no fishing allowed from San Mateo to Bay Bridge. Check our website for updates www.ebparks.org and important numbers to call if you see oil, injured wildlife or chances to volunteer.Read More

Dammit :( .... I mean, I'm not sad they're being closed, but sad they *have* to be. When will we have to start our annual closing-for-oil-cleanup tradition?

Redwood - along the Stream Trail from Canyon Meadow to Old Church. Look for American Elms and Creek Willows turning gold, and non-native Chinese Pistachios in bright bloom.

Laura Walked the MLK Jr shoreline trail yesterday from the Trails Challenge. One thing that would be nice is to know when parts of a trail are unusable. The parking lot and trail in that area were closed off. We did walk from the Oakport soccer fields to the MLK Jr. Grove, which was very nice. Posting notices onto the Trails Challenge page or even here would be very helpful. Thanks.

Laura, glad you enjoyed your walk. Sorry you found out that part of the trail is closed, too late. Every page on the EBPARKS website has a button on the top right called "Closure Hot Link". It lists all the closures including the MLK trail. We recommend everyone check it before heading to any park. I will see if we can make the link more prominent on the Trails Challenge pages, thanks for the suggestion.
