La Honda Creek Preserve

La Honda Creek Parking and Trailhead Access Project

Midpen is conducting an environmental analysis of three potential sites that could be used to expand parking and trailhead access to La Honda Creek Open Space Preserve. The sites were recommended by the La Honda Public Access Working Group and have been thoroughly studied for feasibility.

Public Meeting May 13, 2026: Site Designs

Join Midpen's Board of Directors for their regular public meeting on Wednesday, May 13 at 7 p.m. in-person or via Zoom to hear a staff presentation on design modifications for two of the three proposed parking and trailhead areas based on new traffic study findings and recommendations. 

The board members and public will have an opportunity to provide staff with comments. This public meeting is an information presentation to share information and receive comments. No board action will be taken.

Details for this meeting will be posted on May 8 at openspace.org/public-meetings.
