A group of about 20 Girl Scouts and other youthful volunteers from Santee toiled for nearly two hours the morning of May 14 to place indigenous river rocks along the Carlton Hills Drive/San Diego River underpass.

The rock markers designate the underpass as the connection between the Mast Park riverfront trail and the new pedestrian and bicycle trail at Mast Park West.

The volunteers, including their adult supervisors, were participating in the San Diego River Park’s Youth Day of Service.

More improvements are planned for this trail connection, including additional signage and a proposed mural for the concrete walls of the underpass.
