Mooney Grove Park After Hours Parking Lot Project

The Mooney Grove Park After Hours Parking Lot Project, managed by the County of Tulare Resource Management Agency, involves the construction of a new parking lot on the northeast side of Mooney Grove Park in Visalia, California. The primary objective of the project is to provide an entry point for park patrons and employees to access amenities during after-hours operations. This initiative aims to improve public safety by eliminating the need for visitors to cross the busy Mooney Boulevard (State Route 63) to reach the park. The scope of work includes grading, compaction, the installation of base rock, and paving. The project is classified under NAICS code 237310 and is exempt from CEQA requirements under Class 11 Section 15311(b) as it consists of minor accessory structures. Administrative oversight is provided by the County of Tulare, with key points of contact including Chief Planner Gary Mills, Environmental Planner Jessica Wills, and Parks Manager Albert Cendejas.
