This project is an enhancement of the City's current Central Park Master Plan, which seeks to rehabilitate an existing nature trail in Central Park. The end of the trail at the sound side of the Park will join Orange County's Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve Trail that leads to the beach and allow people to access the OC Loop, a 66-mile biking and walking path that connects the public to California beaches.
