An exisiting walnut 0rchard located on 41 acres is proposed to be restored to native valley oak woodland and riparian forest. In addition, a 50-space parking lot, restroom, open turf area, picnic tables, and trail are being considered. Design considerations involve providing public access to the Sacramento River for fishing and boating such as those using inner tubes, kayaks and canoes. These concepts are consistent with the Park's General Plan adopted January 2006.
