Rio de Los Angele State Park “Save Our State Parks Weekend of Action” June 20 and 21, 2009
Posted: June 17th, 2009Anahuak Youth Sports Association, Urban Semillas, and The City Project invite you to have fun in the park this weekend!
Rio de Los Angeles is a world-class, balanced park with active and passive recreation that meets the needs of
the community as defined by the community. The park is a best practice example of an urban State Park. The
community struggled long and hard for years to create Rio de Los Angeles State Park at Taylor Yard, filed a
successful lawsuit to stop commercial development of the site, persuaded the state to buy the site for a park,
and actively participated in the design of the park to include active recreation. Through Transit to Trails, Rio
de Los Angeles State Park provides a gateway to mountains, beaches, rivers, and other State Parks in the
region. The park is an integral part of the community, one of the most park poor in the state.
Anahuak, Urban Semillas, and The City Project are working with elected officials and community leaders to keep
Rio de Los Angeles and other state parks open for all.
