It will connect two large city parks to create 90 acres of green space called the Hillside Natural Area. Hillside includes three creeks, coast live oaks. Coyote, fox, deer, red-tailed hawks and peregrine falcons. It is also close to the 2,429-acre Wildcat Canyon Regional Park. After clean up and trail construction the new addition will be used for hiking, bicycling, and bird-watching.
