Document Description
Jess Martin County Park (JMCP) is a multi-use recreational area that offers a variety of amenities including three ball fields, a playground, skatepark, exercise paths and equipment, picnic tables, and restrooms. The Jess Martin Park Advisory Committee (JMPAC) provides information and recommendations to the Department of Parks and
Recreation (DPR) regarding the annual operations and maintenance budget for JMCP and performs other duties as the Board of Supervisors may assign. During the JMPAC meeting on November 4, 2024, the committee voiced their support for the JMCP Basketball Half-court project. On November 18, 2024, the Julian Community Planning Group voted unanimously to prioritize and support the allocation of PLDO Funds in the fiscal year 2024/2025 for the construction of the JMCP Basketball Half-court. The court would be approximately 2,100 square feet in size, located adjacent to the existing skatepark along the south boundary of JMCP and north of State Route 79.
