Redwood City – San Mateo County supervisors today voted to honor former Supervisor and County Sheriff Don Horsley, who died in November 2023 after a lifetime of public service, by naming a new park after him.
The new park will be named Don Horsley County Park at Tunitas Creek Beach.
“Under Don’s leadership, the County, Peninsula Open Space Trust and California State Coastal Conservancy partnered to secure $13.4 million to purchase the Tunitas Creek Beach property and to transform it into the County’s newest park, for both the betterment and enjoyment of San Mateo County’s residents and visitors and the conservation of the local flora and fauna,” said Warren Slocum, president of the Board of Supervisors.
