Gilroy Hot Springs has survived the SCU Complex fire.

Great news came yesterday from Eddie Guaracha, Superintendent for California State Parks Diablo District: our beloved and precious Gilroy Hot Springs has survived the SCU Complex Fire.  The fire came about 1/2 mile from the property and is no longer burning near by.  Thank you Calfire for all your hard work!

Calfire has done additional fuel clearing work in the area which will protect Gilroy Hot Spring and this section of Henry Coe Park in the future.  California State Parks Historian Matt Bischoff also credits recent clearing work assisted by volunteers that helped protect the property.  Thank you state park volunteers!

Additional Great News: Gilroy Hot Springs Conservancy will be launching our first fundraiser in October for our 2021 re-opening plans.  We do not yet have firm re-opening dates due to Coronavirus restrictions.  However, we are moving forward with fundraising for our state parks approved re-opening plan so that whenever the time comes, we will be ready to soak!  People subscribed to this list will have the first opportunity to reserve space to soak, camp and stay in the Texas Cabin before we publicize the opportunity to the greater bay area.  

We will be announcing the October launch date for our re-opening fundraiser in our next newsletter in late September.  Stay tuned to mark your calendars and let your interested friends and family know to sign up for our email newsletter.  Please take a moment as well to like our social media pages linked below!
