Laguna Honda Recap
It’s been another great year maintaining the trail system and habitat in our partnership with Laguna Honda Hospital and Rehabilitation Center. We completed Phase 3 of the project, with the opening of Dan’s Lost Trail and several re-routes and rebuilds elsewhere in the system. Installed a wayfinding system as a project from a Scout from Troop 333. Planted many plants–and seeded so many more. Funding was provided by the SF Community Challenge Grant program, with assistance from JINS, Sierra Nevada, our SFUR Supporters and, very importantly , the dozens of volunteers who put over a thousand hours into the project.
Our trail and habitat workdays continue on the 2nd Saturday of every month at 9AM at Laguna Honda. Next events on January 8th and February 12th.
McLaren Bike Park
In late November, we held a volunteer day with Rec Park at the McLaren Bike Park. From Jay: “We swept, shoveled, cleaned muddy dirt out of the drains and rebuilt a couple of the perimeter rollers. It was fun work and rewarding as always to see what a difference a couple hours of maintenance makes.” We plan to return several more times this winter, drop us a note or follow our social media to stay in the loop.
The park is in great shape, come out and build your skills, bring your kids. It’s open from 10:00 to 5:00 Wednesday through Sunday. You can check on the current status of the park (e.g. it’s closed for rain this week) by following the ‘rainout’ page linked at https://sfrecpark.org/facilities/facility/details/McLaren-Bike-Park-422
