Mott Training Center Since 1973, the Mott Training Center has served as the main center for training California State Parks employees. But times change.

In 1969, a pioneer park management and operations training program began in a small cottage on the Asilomar Conference Grounds. That program proved its worth; in 1973, const

ruction of the William Penn Mott Jr. Training Center was completed. From those first efforts in 1969, the Training Center has grown to provide many different programs to meet the increasingly complex and diverse job performance requirements of employees in the park and recreation field.
