2013: Save Moss Beach Park
Almost lost by tax sale to a developer in 2013, Moss Beach Park was accepted into the County Parks system on 12/10/13 by 5-0 vote of the Board of Supervisors. We owe particular thanks to Supervisor Horsley for pulling the community back from the brink of losing this precious park and playground resource so lovingly created by local volunteers some 10 years ago.
