Oct. 16 public Zoom meeting planned on new Clearlake Oaks park plan

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — Lake County Public Services will host a public Zoom meeting this month to discuss the new John T. Klaus Park in Clearlake Oaks.

The meeting will take place from 5 to 6 p.m.

The Zoom link is here.

The John T. Klaus Park will be located east of Clearlake Oaks along Highway 20, between the quarry and the Moose Lodge.

Klaus donated the 584-acre property to Lake County along with money to help develop it.

The Board of Supervisors approved the donation of the property and land in November 2022.

Lake County Public Services, which is overseeing both the development and long-term management of the park, hosted an initial public meeting on the project in August.

At that meeting, the county introduced its consultant, Helix Environmental Planning of Folsom, which was hired to conduct the initial analysis and conceptual planning.

Community members are urged to take a survey about the park plan at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/2PGR2W9.
