History
The park was established in 1962. In the early 1990s, naturalist Joanne Dean-Freemire led outdoor classes at the Sunol Regional Wilderness that cover history, sociology, Indian lore, handicrafts and nature studies that included locating California slender salamanders under rocks. As of 2006, the price of entry is $5 per car, $4 per vehicle with a trailer, $1 per person on a bus, $50 for an empty bus and $5 for an empty commercial trans. van. The price of entry for a dog is $2, but guide dogs are free. The park is normally open from 7 a.m. till dusk, after which the gates will be locked, all year. Anyone wishing to camp on the site must arrive and be signed in by dusk. The park is subject to either closure or fire restriction in June and October (fire season).

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Yet poetry, though the last and finest result, is a natural fruit. As naturally as the oak bears an acorn, and the vine a gourd, man bears a poem, either spoken or done. It is the chief and most memorable success, for history is but a prose narrative of poetic deeds.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“While the Republic has already acquired a history world-wide, America is still unsettled and unexplored. Like the English in New Holland, we live only on the shores of a continent even yet, and hardly know where the rivers come from which float our navy.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“If you look at history you’ll find that no state has been so plagued by its rulers as when power has fallen into the hands of some dabbler in philosophy or literary addict.”
—Desiderius Erasmus (c. 1466–1536)
