More than two decades ago, State Parks acquired the Alameda-Tesla Property with the intent of expanding the adjacent Carnegie State Vehicular Recreation Area. After challenges to this plan, in 2021 SB 155 (PRC sec. 5090.42) authorized planning work to determine the best use of the land and specified that the property shall not be designated as a state vehicular recreation area or be considered for any future expansion of off-highway vehicle recreation.
The Alameda-Tesla Classification Process and General Plan Project now underway will result in a general plan that will guide future management and use of the property. The effort includes a classification, naming, general plan, and full environmental assessment and review in support of the Programmatic Environmental Impact Report (EIR) required in the general plan process.

The Alameda-Tesla property is in eastern Alameda County, California. It is in the Diablo Range, between the cities of Livermore and Tracy. It borders Carnegie State Vehicular Recreation Area to the east and is surrounded by privately owned land along the remainder of its borders. Tesla Road runs along the northern edge of the property and approximately 300 acres of the property are north of Tesla Road. State Parks’ Diablo Range District Office is located within the property, approximately ¼ mile south of Tesla Road. The Arroyo Seco creek flows west along the northeastern border of the property. Corral Hollow Creek crosses onto the property at the southern boundary and runs northwest near the western property boundary before turning east and flowing across the property. Corral Hollow Creek then flows nearly parallel to Tesla Road eastward to San Joaquin County.
