A 41-acre stretch along Cache Creek will open to the public this fall, allowing visitors to play among purple needlegrass, wild monkey flowers and elderberry.
A groundbreaking today marks the start of construction at Capay Open Space Park, north of Cache Creek outside the rural community of Esparto.
Several years of planning involved a gravel mining company deeding the land to Yolo County.
"This park is a result of a lot of collaboration between public and private partners that is finally coming to fruition," said Mariko Yamada, chairwoman of the Yolo County Board of Supervisors.
The land for the park was dedicated in 2004 to Yolo County by Granite Construction Co., which operates an adjacent gravel mine.
