Mt. Diablo State Park Strategic Plan and Public Petition
Mt. Diablo Trails Alliance’s Trails 2035 is a community-focused Strategic Plan for Mt. Diablo State Park. It is designed to achieve Better Trails and Expanded Access for all trail user groups at Mount Diablo State Park.
This 10-year plan includes four goals, ranked by estimated funding requirements:
- Propose and secure an additional 15 miles of singletrack trails for multi-use bike-friendly designation through the change-in-use (CIU) process
- Propose and support the construction of ADA-compliant trails to increase options for park visitors with accessibility needs
- Service 50 miles of singletrack trails through trail maintenance events (Dig Days)
- Launch the Responsible Recreation education program and advocacy
Trails 2035 requires a vital fundraising drive powered by charitable donations from people like you.
Trails 2035 strategic goals are based on fulfilling the policy recommendations of the 2016 Road and Trail Management Plan (RTMP) for Mount Diablo State Park.
The 2016 RTMP was a stakeholder-driven mandate to address and adapt to evolving trail user needs. It includes expanded trail opportunities for off-road cyclists and park visitors with accessibility needs.
The trail network at Mount Diablo State Park has not kept pace with these evolving trail user needs. With Trails 2035, Mount Diablo Trails Alliance aims to be part of the solution, helping Mount Diablo State Park become that beacon for balancing conservation and recreation.
