Volunteers Lend A Hand To Clean Up Gibson Ranch

ELVERTA (CBS13) – Volunteers gathered at Gibson Ranch Regional Park in Elverta over the weekend to help finish some cleanup and restoration projects.

Sacramento County Regional Parks just took over managing the park last week. They invited the public to lend a hand and meet some of the new staff who are going to be maintaining the park.

The county wants to turn it into the community hub it once was.

"It used to be the place where everything happened. I rode my first horse here when I was a kid," said Zachary Leyden with the Trail Brothers Horseback Riding Service. "This place is history for a lot of people in the Sacramento area, and I think the county wants to see that happen again."

The 355-acre park has an equestrian center – a ranch house suitable for large gatherings.

The county also plans to expand fishing at the park's lake.
