Land Acquisition Initiative Expands Mission Trails
The Mission Trails Regional Park Foundation was awarded grants for land acquisition by the San Diego River Conservancy (SDRC), an independent and non-regulatory state agency. The land acquired and donated to the City by the MTRP Foundation is in the East Elliott Community Planning Area north of State Route 52. The first land donation from the MTRP Foundation to the City of San Diego comprised 55 acres; the remaining grant funding will support the purchase of approximately 60 additional acres. Learn more
