Napa Valley State Parks Association
What We Do:
NVSPA supports our three Napa Valley state parks by partnering with the Napa County Regional Parks and Open Space District to provide financial, interpretive, and volunteer assistance. This includes children’s environmental education, school tour and bus subsidies, public historical and cultural events, and creating new interpretive resources.
Our parks receive no California State Park funding and have remained open and staffed during the pandemic, providing county residents as well as visitors with hiking, rock climbing, biking and camping opportunities and the refuge of nature and fresh air. During the pandemic Bale Grist Mill was closed but this gave staff the opportunity to undertake the major restoration of the mill’s waterwheel. The mill restoration, at a cost of $115,000, was completely funded by NVSPA with money raised through various fundraising events and generous donations from private citizens.
