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).
