The Otay River Valley has a rich history of human occupation and resource use. Over 9000 years ago, prehistoric Native Americans were early inhabitants, taking advantage of the River Valley’s abundant natural resources. In the 1800s, vast Spanish ranchos covered the area and cattle grazed on the gentle mesa surrounding the river while vineyards and farming occurred in the valley.

The Otay Valley Regional Park represents one of the major open space areas within the southern area of San Diego County, linking south San Diego Bay with Otay, San Miguel and the Jamul Mountains. It will provide South Bay residents and visitors recreational opportunities ranging from playing fields and picnic areas to hiking, biking, and horse trails. At the same time, the park will protect open space, wildlife, historic, agricultural, and archaeological resources. Currently there are a few active and passive recreational areas in the park.
