December 31, 2024 (San Diego) -- Today, December 31, 2024, marks the 50th anniversary of Cowles Mountain at Mission Trails Regional Park (MTRP). Its purchase and preservation in 1974 was a pivotal moment in the park’s history, and was the result of community members and local leaders uniting to save Cowles Mountain from imminent development. Their efforts secured the land for public use, laying the foundation for Mission Trails, now comprised of more than 8,000 acres and one of the largest urban parks in the country. The park welcomes more than two million visitors annually.
