Several events in coming days, everything from hikes, yoga to campfire programs, will happen to mark the third annual State Parks Week
Want to know about Crystal Cove’s rich history? Tours will happen as part of State Parks Week so people can explore and learn about the unique area, one of several events to be held in coming days. There’s no denying that Southern California’s vast outdoor space is a valued commodity, especially in recent years, as a place people can explore, learn and relax in nature.
There are 280 parks, including the newest just added earlier this month, Dos Rios, located about eight miles west of Modesto in the Central Valley. Tidepool tours will happen as part of State Parks Week, from June 12 – 16, a chance for the public to get out and explore. On June 13, a theme is “nourish your health and well being,” with yoga at 5:45 p.m. at San Clemente State Beach Historic Cottage. Take a yoga mat, comfy shoes and water.
That same day from 9:50 a.m. to noon at Bolsa Chica State Beach, citizen scientists or aspiring biologists can see how water quality testing is done, observing plankton that live in the local waters. Want to try surfing? Catch a wave from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Huntington State Beach where staff will be on hand at Tower 11 to give surf lessons and lead beach games. A clean up will start at 10 a.m., leaving from the tower, and there will also be a community barbeque.
