SAN JOAQUIN, CA-The East Bay Regional Park District will pay $1.7 million for 276 acres of agricultural land in eastern Contra Costa County that will provide the Bay Area with improved access to the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta.

At the board of directors meeting on Tuesday, district officials unanimously approved the acquisition of the land located in the Orwood Track area just north of the Discovery Bay community.
