OPA Issues Update On Santiago Regional Park, Canyon Fire 2

(Orange Park Acres, CA) - Orange Park Acres’ Board of Directors has provided the public with an update regarding access to Santiago Oaks Regional Park in the aftermath of the Canyon 2 fire.

“On Monday, Oct. 9, 2017 the Canyon Fire 2 started near the intersection of the 91 and 241,” wrote Don Bradley, President and the Orange Park Association Board of Directors.

Bradley statements appeared in “The OPA e-Tree”, an electronic newsletter residents can subscribe to online.

“The fire burned through Anaheim Hills and East Orange, extensively burning four County regional parks,” Bradley wrote. “Of the more than 9,000 acres estimated damaged in the Canyon Fire 2, the large majority are within four OC Parks regional parks: Irvine Regional Park, Santiago Oaks Regional Park, Peters Canyon Regional Park, and Irvine Ranch Open Space. Other facilities, including several regional trail segments, are also damaged.”

Portions of Santiago Oaks Regional Park will be open as of 7 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 9.
