Los Angeles County Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich; Department of Parks and Recreation Chief Deputy Director John Wicker; and Parks Bureau Captain Stephen Smith will officially open the new Parks Bureau Castaic Lake Substation. The new Substation will house the Los Angeles County Marine Patrol Unit in charge Lake Operations. Tours of the facility, the equipment, and boats used to patrol in and around the lake will be available to all in attendance. The newest boat in the Parks Bureau Fleet, the Safe Boat will be on display. The Safe Boat was originally manufactured as a Special Purpose Craft-Near Shore Life Boat. It is a self-righting, shallow draft, fast response surf boat designed for use in heavy weather conditions in coastal areas.
Parks Bureau will also premier their first Public Service Announcement video depicting the many unique areas and specialized equipment used to patrol our very unique and vast parks.
Parks Bureau Dive Team will conduct a demonstration of how a dive for evidence or a body would be handled. There will be an underwater camera and communication with the divers during the demonstration.
All are invited to join us in this special event on Wednesday, August 28, 2013 at 11:00 a.m. at the Castaic Lake Main Launch Ramp, 32132 Castaic Lake Drive, Castaic 91384.
