"Gov. Gavin Newsom on Monday ordered the immediate closure of parking lots at many of the state’s most popular parks and beaches in the latest restrictions aimed at stopping the spread of coronavirus. Newsom referred to the new measure as a “soft closure,” clarifying that people can still walk or bike to those parks for exercise. But he said stricter measures — and the closure of parking lots at additional state parks — may prove necessary moving forward."

The East Bay Regional Parks district includes more than 1,250 miles of trails across 73 parks — nearly 125,000 acres in total. It ranges from the upper corner of Contra Costa County to the Alameda-Santa Clara County border, including Tilden Regional Park and Lake Chabot. Late Monday, a top parks official said the district is planning to announce the closure of parking lots in about ten of those parks on Tuesday morning.

State Recreation Areas Folsom Lake and Auburn SRAs are not part of the order yesterday. The Governor said that will change. Mother Lode Trails will update with new closures as soon as they announce them.
