Tesla Park Should Not Be Sacrificed
Tesla Park combines ecological integrity, rich biological diversity and historic relevance — a rare combination that’s too important to sacrifice.

Tesla Park is the unofficial name for 3,100 acres of exceptionally beautiful & biologically diverse open space in the southeast corner of Alameda County. Join us to help #SaveTeslaPark!
In 2012 the State Office of Historical Preservation ID’d part of Tesla Park as eligible for the National Register of Historical Places, yet State Parks still wants to open it to destructive OHV recreation.
Tesla Park is home to 42 special status wildlife species including golden eagles, California red-legged frogs, California tiger salamanders, and Alameda whipsnakes.
Sadly, there is now another endangered species in Tesla Park: the foothill yellow-legged frog. How can State Parks prioritize off-highway vehicles over California Department of Fish and Wildlife listed species conservation?
The East Bay Regional Park District first identified Tesla as a potential park in 1956! Today, Tesla remains in the East Bay Regional Parks master plan as a regional preserve because of its extraordinary natural and cultural values. Save Tesla Park NOW!
