SACRAMENTO — California State Parks is hosting a public meeting to gather community input on draft concept alternatives for the Delta Meadows Park Property Classification and General Plan. This critical phase presents distinct planning options that could guide the park's future management, operations, and recreational development. The alternatives phase represents a transition from broad conceptual ideas to specific management possibilities for the park's future. Public feedback on these alternatives will help shape a General Plan that reflects shared priorities and values.
