The City has assessed the fire damage to the Preserve, identifying tree removal, property and debris removal, and site security. Initial cleanup work is complete, and on May 29, 2020, the City reopened the Preserve.
The Preserve is currently open to the public daily from 6:30 am to 7:30pm.
The number of individuals and vehicles permitted to enter are limited to no more than 50 people, and 30 vehicles at one time, in order to ensure the safety of all visitors.
Security will be onsite to control the flow of visitors, and ensure visitors practice social distancing while on Preserve property. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, loitering and group gatherings is strictly prohibited. Face covering are recommended, for passing other guests on the pathways.
The Mare Island Preserve site is currently approximately 124 acres. The Navy anticipates transferring an additional approximately 200 adjacent acres to the City over the next four years that are earmarked as public open space, eventually increasing the size of the Mare Island Regional Park to approximately 300 acres.
