Weekend Permit Restrictions
To avoid overcrowding at Rancho San Antonio Open Space Preserve, permits are NOT issued for weekend days or holidays. Schools and other organized groups are encouraged to submit specific dates they wish to be in the preserves to avoid reaching the weekday cut-offs.
Weekend permits may be available for other preserves including Fremont Older Open Space Preserve, St. Joseph’s Hill Open Space Preserve, Purisima Creek Redwoods Open Space Preserve, and Skyline Ridge Open Space Preserve.
