operations after funding from the state was reduced. Originally the park was surrounded by properties dedicated to the ownership of horses, but successive waves of redevelopment have decreased the number of horse owners who live nearby and increased the density of residential housing. The change in the makeup of the surrounding community has created some conflict between pedestrians, particularly those accompanied by off-leash dogs, and horse riders within the park, including a 2015 incident in which a spooked horse ran from the trail and was struck by a motor vehicle, resulting in the animal's euthanization.
