Many of you have asked, “what can I do?” about the temporary closure at the Oceano Dunes. Below is a list of decision makers in the OHMVR Division at California State Parks. Please send them an email voicing your concerns and frustrations, how this closure has impacted your family, and your business.

Remember, park staff at the local level didn’t make the decisions that forced this closure, they were made in Sacramento.

Friends of Oceano Dunes continues to stay informed of the process ahead. Since no other land use groups were involved in the lawsuit ONLY State Parks will have a voice in opening the park in a timely manner. State Parks needs to hear from you.

In addition to sending an email, call and leave a message at the OHMVR Division Headquarters at (916) 324-4442
