ACRA Director Tracy Yep says that public meetings held to decide how to fix up the park have been very well attended, with about half of the audience made up of River Pines’ children. Yep says there will be a few more meetings to finalize plans for the park’s facelift, and she hopes the renovation will be complete by spring. The River Pines Park is the first of several community parks in line for $1.2 million of Prop. 40 funding in Amador County – also slated for improvements are parks in Pine Grove, Pioneer, Volcano, Plymouth and Ione.
