In April 2006, the Dublin City Council voted to include Valley Children's Museum in its Camp Parks development (born of a real property exchange between the U.S. Army and the City of Dublin). The Museum is slated to be an integral part of a 46-acre parcel designated for recreational and civic facilities area within the 187-acre Camp Parks project, with frontage property running along Dublin Boulevard and easy access to the Dublin BART station and the 580/680 corridor. Up to 2 ½ acres is dedicated to the children’s museum.
In the meantime, the Moving Mission – Valley Children’s Museum’s mobile museum – is available Second Saturdays monthly in 2012 at Emerald Glen Park as it was made available for public participation in conjunction with Dublin’s 2011 Farmers Market at Emerald Glen Park on Thursday evenings when the exhibit in the park was open for touring and hands-on activities will provided for children.
As the Camp Parks project comes closer to fruition, the Moving Mission will visit communities and schools throughout the Tri-Valley, demonstrating what a positive experience Valley Children’s Museum will be.
