Map Update Expands Golden Gate Rec Area: Scarper Ridge Land Officially Added

This straightforward piece of legislation, officially titled the "Scarper Ridge Golden Gate National Recreation Area Boundary Adjustment Act," does exactly what its name suggests: it adjusts the boundary lines for one of the country's most popular urban park areas.

Redrawing the Lines

The core action happens in Section 2. It amends the original law establishing the Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA) to formally include a piece of land referred to as Scarper Ridge. The specific area being added is defined by a map referenced directly in the bill: number 641/193973, dated July 2024, and labeled "Proposed Boundary Addition". Essentially, this bill updates the official map, making this new parcel legally part of the GGNRA. This means the land now falls under the management and protection of the National Park Service, potentially opening up new areas for recreation or conservation within the GGNRA's expanded footprint.
