East Bay parks, trails reopen as wind, wildfire threats pass

East Bay Regional Park District parks and trails have reopened Thursday after being closed since Sunday because of public safety risks from windy weather and wildfires around the region.

The park district planned to reopen regional parks and trails at 5 a.m. Thursday or as otherwise posted at different locations.
