Please listen to the full episode so you fully understand what is at stake. But this is not the time to just listen — it’s time to take action.
If you want your email to count toward the CPRD Board’s February 26th meeting, it must be sent before 2/18/26.
If you are seeing this after 2/18/26 — email anyway and show up in person on 2/26. Presence matters.
We need to overwhelm the board with respectful, firm communication so they understand they have a responsibility to stand with integrity and uphold the original vision for this land.

Subject: Please Uphold the Original Vision for Crystal Rilee Park
Dear CPRD Board Members,
I am writing in strong support of keeping Crystal Rilee Park designated for equestrian and hiker use only, in accordance with the donor’s original intent and the previously approved Master Plan.
This park is not just another recreational space — it is a sacred and carefully stewarded environment. The equestrian community has invested significant time, funding, and volunteer effort into building and maintaining the all-weather trail system. It is a rare and deeply valued space where horses and riders can safely coexist with hikers without the inherent risks that mountain bikes introduce.
Beyond safety and infrastructure, this is also a matter of integrity. When a donor makes a clear and intentional gift to the community, honoring those wishes builds trust. If we begin to reverse or reinterpret donor intent after the fact, it risks discouraging future philanthropic investment. Those with the means to donate land and resources need to trust that their legacy and intentions will be respected.
Equestrians have very limited safe riding options within the State. This park represents the one dedicated, bike-free space available to our community. Preserving that designation protects safety, honors the donor, and maintains the integrity of the partnership between CPRD and the equestrian community.
I respectfully ask the Board to uphold the original designation and maintain Crystal Rilee Park as an equestrian and hiker-only park.
Thank you for your time, consideration, and service to our community.
Please don’t just listen.
