Copying text from CA State Park website

"The best-known beach is Spooner’s Cove, across from the campground. The park’s name, meaning "Mountain of Gold" in Spanish, comes from the golden wildflowers that bloom in spring. Wildlife in the park includes black tailed deer and the black oystercatcher. The park includes primitive and equestrian campsites."

That whole part is cut-and-paste w/ some words thrown in, from http://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=592. Not sure if that's in the public domain or not? PUnkX22 14:07, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I removed or rewrote the information, thanks. Basar 16:37, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I seriously doubt the CA State Park Service would care about the copying. E.g., they aren't in it for profit or reputation-building -- it's a public service. But it might be appropriate to reference where the text came from, for the reader's information. DonF18 (talk) 04:49, 11 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Chumash Indian Section

While I changed the title of this section (previously it was just "History") I question whether the section belongs within the Montaña de Oro State Park Wikipedia page at all, because it isn't specific to Montaña de Oro State Park. As the paragraphs states, the Chumash were located in a large area along the coast, not just Montaña de Oro. And so, if a section on the Chumash is to be included here, then to be consistent should also be included with every other Wiki page for parks, cities, and other areas along the California coast the Chumash lived. Not reasonable. The better organization, I think, is simply to make mention of the Chumash living there in the 16th-18th century on this page, and then link it to a Wiki page on the Chumash for their full history.

Other Information Worth Adding

I visited the park a few weeks ago, and the question on our minds was how the unusual-shaped rocky shoreline was formed. I suspect others have similar curiosity.DonF18 (talk) 04:49, 11 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Los Osos Oaks State Reserve?

Is this in the state park? We have it "Proposed for closure", but no other info. Can some knowledgeable person fix? Or do we even need this, since it didn't happen.... TIA, Pete Tillman (talk) 21:56, 9 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
