Construction on new restrooms and an exercise course are underway at Tri-City Regional Park.
Restroom #1 is currently closed and being replaced with a new restroom building. Once it is complete and open, currently estimated in April of 2021, Restroom #2 will close for replacement. Estimated completion date for Restroom #2 replacement is December, 2021.
Construction on a new exercise course is also ongoing. This is estimated to be completed summer, 2021.
Fall trout stocking was delayed due to a disruption in the supply chain.
In early 2020, multiple California trout hatcheries were infected with Lactococcus garvieae, a bacterial outbreak similar to streptococcus. California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CADFW) was forced to euthanize millions of trout, which will impact inland fishing for many years.
OC Parks has been working with our lake management contractor to secure necessary permits and import Rainbow Trout from a hatchery located in Idaho. The first trout stockings are anticipated to take place the week of Dec. 7-11. The full stocking schedule will be posted as soon as it is finalized.
