 Costeau
Park
Residential park located on Costeau Street
off of Alicia Parkway with a history - the
monument reads as follows: 'This prehistoric
giant ground sloth represents the Ice Age
animals that flourished here 40,000 years
ago. In 1965, sloth bones and teeth were
recovered from this site with the fossils
of bison, horses, camels, mammoths, dire
wolves and saber-tooth cats. These animals
lived by a perennial stream, now Alicia
Parkway, in grasslands similar to African
savannas. Costeau Park was established to
preserve the thousands of fossils that remain
buried beneath the surface. Historical Monument,
Dedicated July 3, 1999.'

 Fossil
Reef Park
Discovered in the early 1970s and dedicated
in 1982 by the Orange County Historical
Commission, Fossil Reef Park is a large
limestone formation containing shells that
shed light on a darkened ocean floor as
it may have existed millions of years ago.
Most fossils are of large scallops, clams,
and snails - reminiscent of a tropical environment.
