    As one of the ADA volunteers, this is such a wonderful opportunity and appreciated by so many. In the past, the only way to get to The Castle was to hike down or boat in, not an option for many. Our California Parks Department wants all to enjoy the beauty of the Bay- its location is a highlight of our summer.

    I assume they had to modify the home and grounds quite a bit for accessibility also?

    So not the same place,
