California State Parks officials have scheduled a second workshop

about the future of Crystal Cove State Park for Nov. 1.

The workshop, following an April 26 meeting, moves the state another

step closer toward finalizing a plan for the park.

In the past months, state parks officials have been working with local

environmentalists to craft a plan for the 46 historic cottages on the

cove’s beach.

The meeting will allow the public a chance to “roll up its sleeves and

get a hands-on grasp of the issues,” said Parks Planner Bob Hare.

The meeting will be held at Lincoln Elementary School, 3101 Pacific

View Drive, Corona del Mar. More information about the state’s

preliminary plans for the district is contained on California State
