OFFICE HOLIDAY CLOSURE: Our Office will be closed on Monday, September 7, 2020 in observation of Labor Day.

At this time, Toro Park is closed to all public access and use (hiking, biking, equestrian) and there currently is no reopening time frame. As you may know, the area is being used as a base camp by CAL FIRE, but also, much of the part sustained wildfire damage. There is currently fire suppression repair work going on, dozers are currently being used for water bars and rolling dips and some of the dozer lines are on existing vehicle travel trails like Ollason. A complete damage assessment needs to be done to determine what is needed for recovery, but not all areas of the part are accessible yet. As soon as safe, park staff and CAL FIRE will make those assessments. Parks staff will also be assessing the entire trail network and open space including erosion control for next winter.

DUE TO POOR AIR QUALITY AND AS A PRECAUTION DURING THE CARMEL FIRE & RIVER FIRE JACKS PEAK PARK WILL BE CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE
