All dayOdlin County Park Celebrates 100 Years as a Public ParkOdlin County Park·LopezThe San Juan County Parks and Fair Department is planning a handful of events this summer to mark the centennial celebration at Odlin County Park. On April 17, 1926, 63 acres of abandoned military reserve land, now known as Odlin County Park, was sold from the federal government to San Juan County. Three years later, an additional 22 acres was purchased by William T. Odlin and then donated to the park, which now bears his name. And in 2017 an additional 103 acres was added to the park, making it what we know today! We invite you to join us this summer as we celebrate 100 years of Odlin being a public park. All events will take place in the park and are free for the public to attend. We hope to see you there! Fun fact: there are exactly 100 days between the first free event and the last! Event Calendar: June 18 – Take a Hike with the Lopez Community Trails Network (LCTN) Explore over 2 miles of hiking trails throughout the park!
