This collaborative project with the community resulted in the creation of a high-quality public park space for an underserved area in East County. EMSWCD and partners contributed funds for property acquisition and for the construction of a community visioned nature-based play area. This investment doubled the number of residents who could enjoy access to a park facility within one mile. To learn more about Nadaka, visit the Friends of Nadaka Nature Park website.
