JOSHUA TREE’S SECTION 6 ON WAY TO BEING A COMMUNITY PARK

Over 50 years ago, Section 6 in Joshua Tree was set aside for a community park. Reporter Dan Stork says that some concrete developments are bringing that goal into sight…

The awarding of a grant for the Desert View Conservation Area Park, planned for Section 6 in Joshua Tree, was announced on May 27. California State Parks Director Lisa Ann Mangat announced recommendations to the National Park Service funding for ten local park projects, including Desert View. Grant funding is made available if the National Park Service approves the recommended projects. The Joshua Tree grant amounts to $200,000. Planned development at the Desert View Conservation Area Park includes the construction of two new multi-use trail loop systems, interpretive and informational kiosks, interpretive shelter, and pre-fabricated restroom building in the unincorporated area of Joshua Tree, according to a press release from the California Department of Parks and Recreation.

On another front, this park project is moving forward with the acceptance, by the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors, of the Mitigated Negative Declaration for the project — a necessary environmental milestone for the project.
