This project will develop and implement an action strategy for the Orange Coast River Park, a 1000 acre mosaic of wetland, riparian, and upland habitats along the lower three miles of the Santa Ana River. It is envisioned that the Orange Coast River Park would extend up the east side of the Santa Ana River to the eastern boundary of Fairview Park.
Included within the proposed boundaries are Fairview Park, and North and South Talbert Preserves, the Huntington Beach Wetlands, the US Army Corps of Engineers restoration marsh at the mouth of the river, Sunset Ridge, and Superior Park in Newport Beach.
