The park will also provide active recreation facilities such as ball fields, play areas, and picnic facilities. In September 2008, the Board of Supervisors approved the master plan for the river park including the certification of the Final Program Environmental Impact Report for the master plan. The supervisors’ Dec. 14 action also found the acquisition to be categorically exempt from California Environmental Quality Act review although vegetation management, stormwater control, and erosion control measures will be undertaken as part of the property maintenance. The 118-acre area which will be acquired once the transaction documents are finalized includes land within the pre-approved mitigation area for the draft North County Multiple Species Conservation Program. The least Bell’s vireo bird species has been observed on the property, and the land includes riparian habitat. The property also has mature trees which had been maintained when the golf course was in operation. Many portions of the 118 acres are relatively flat which could allow for active recreation and for the construction of a trail connection. The entirety of the land approved for purchase is within the boundaries of the former golf course which opened in 1963 and closed in August 2014. The area to be acquired comprises six holes of the former golf course. In November 2015, the county supervisors approved the purchase of 60 acres of the former golf
