The City of Santa Maria is increasing public access to one of its most popular recreation destinations, Los Flores Ranch Park. Located eight miles south of the city limits in the Solomon Hills, the 1,778-acre facility is owned and operated by the City of Santa Maria.
Expanded Trail Access
Starting on June 27th, the public will be able to use the 24-mile trail system seven days a week. Previously, the trails were only open from Thursday through Sunday. The city describes the park as a facility that offers the public a rare mix of environmental education, land preservation, and recreation.
The expanded access is a result of the city’s leisure needs assessment, which showed that trails were a top priority for the community. The park’s summer operating hours are 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily, with the last entry permitted at 6 p.m.
