County Parks is planning for two parks in Valley Center: Butterfield Trails Ranch and Star Valley Park. We want to hear from you.

This virtual workshop covers the same topics as the in-person workshop on November 14, so you can join either one. Join us from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. to look at the parks Valley Center already has and talk about what's missing. You'll learn about both park sites and work with your neighbors in small online groups to share your ideas on a map. We'll wrap up by sharing what we heard that evening.

Everyone is welcome. No experience or preparation needed. Please register using the link above to get your Zoom meeting details. You can join from a computer, tablet, or phone. Just come ready to share how you use parks in Valley Center today and what you'd like to see in the future.

Can't make it? Take the survey posted on this page.
