ATV paradise opens soon at Riley Ranch By Carl Mickelson, Staff Writer The World Newspaper, In Coos Bay, Oregon Tuesday, May 2, 2006 
Ladies and gentlemen ... start your all-terrain-vehicle engines.
If all goes well, by Memorial Day weekend, ATV enthusiasts could be tearing it up on a new plot of land, dubbed Riley Ranch, in Coos County - the first county park built from the ground up since Powers Park was created in 1974.
At first, however, the revving and ripping will be limited.
To date, the park is only about 20 percent complete. There won't be access to the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area for more than a year, but the Coos County Parks Department is hoping to have some primitive campsites, and a small area for ATV use open by Memorial Day.
