This is ridiculous. 2.3 million for a piece of dirt? fix the roads instead of buying land that is already being used by the public.
My family goes here every single weekend. Its one of the few places kids can actually get outside and be active. keep it open!
Used to ride here back in the day. Keep it accessible for everyone not just the people who bought the land.
PLEASE keep this open. I use it for hiking all the time and it is beautiful. Don't let developers ruin it.
WAY too much money. Stop wasting our tax dollars on this stuff.
