What This Page Is For
- Use it to: check a place before you drive there, or find the new name of one you remember.
- Where the facts come from: only the operator’s own page or a government agency page. No review sites, no social media.
- Read carefully: this list is new and short. A place that is not on it is not proof that it is open. It grows as we confirm more.

How We Built It
For each row we read the agency or operator page on October 23, 2026 and copied what it says. “Temporary” appears only where the source itself uses a word such as temporarily; otherwise the length is marked not stated. Opening dates are never guessed. Oceanside Pier (west end damaged in April 2024) is not listed because the City of Oceanside page blocked our reader today; it is described on its own page, recorded earlier (unconfirmed today). Reservoir and Children’s Pool rows marked scheduled are yearly closures set by the agency, not outages. Forest Service alerts for Cleveland National Forest list closures with no details, so we left them out. Torrey Pines State Parks pages say “Beginning Tuesday, Sept. 22” without a year; the page was marked last checked 10/23/2026, so we read it as 2026.
