In honor of Sugar Pine Point State Park becoming a California State Park 50 years ago, and in appreciation of the support of the Lake Tahoe and Truckee community, the Sierra State Parks Foundation is sponsoring a Free Locals Day at Sugar Pine Point State Park on Sunday, May 31 from 10am to 3pm.

"Our Board of Directors have invited the community to celebrate the addition of Sugar Pine Point State Park becoming a California State Park by being our guest for the day. Visitors can enjoy the grounds and tour the 1903 Pine Lodge (Ehrman Mansion)," said Executive Director Heidi Doyle.  " We deeply appreciate the support of the Lake Tahoe community in enabling the Sierra State Parks Foundation to complete many vital restoration and educational projects at Sugar Pine Point." The Foundation will cover the $10 parking fee and the cost of admittance for the house museum tours.  Lake Tahoe and Truckee residents must present a local ID or SSPF membership to take advantage of this opportunity.
 
On Saturday, July 25th the Sierra State Parks Foundation is hosting a 50th Birthday Party at the park to include a band playing music of the era, children's games popular in the 1960's, special tours of the buildings and a birthday cake.  Be sure to save the date!
