History
|
The purchase of the Mirada Surf property was completed in August 2003. The Mirada Surf Trail Concept Plan was completed in September 2004 after a series of public meetings. The Plan was developed to provide a recreational and commuter trail through the property as well as become a link in the California Coastal Trail.

The California Coastal Trail is planned to be a continuous and interconnected 1,100 mile long public trail system along the California coastline from Oregon to Mexico. The Trail system has been designed to accommodate pedestrians, bicyclists, wheelchair users, equestrians, and other non-motorized uses wherever possible. This contract will be to construct the first phase of the San Mateo County portion of the trail by the fall of 2008.
