Welcome to the website
for the Monterey Peninsula Regional Park District. We've added
some new features including the Parks and Open Space Locator, Nature
and Wildlife Guides, and more. From here you can access
information about the various District parks, programs, facilities,
and people.
If you click on the Park
and Open Space Locator to the right, you can access information
about MPRPD parks and preserves. In addition, the locator
provides links to other federal, state, and county parks and
open spaces within the MPRPD boundaries, serving as a gateway to a
vast array of local and even far-away park and recreational
venues and opportunities.
Our website provides access to a wide array of information about these public
spaces.
MPRPD has put
together an exciting array of environmental and outdoor related
programs, classes and activities intended to expand the
opportunities for the public to get outside, to learn about and
enjoy nature. The offerings include art-related, photography,
camping, hiking, kayaking, safe horsemanship, sailing and other
activities. The programs are aimed at youths, teens, adults,
and families. Check out our
Adventure Activities Guide
to see the full listing of programs. To register for any of
the program offerings, click on the picture of Let's go Outdoors to the
right.
The Nature and Wildlife Guides provide
information about the various flora and fauna that can be found
within MPRPD parks and preserves. You'll find lists with facts about
mammals, amphibians, birds, plants, trees, fish, and more.
These guides are excellent educational tools that have been developed
and made available in conjunction with the National Wildlife
Federation.
