SGPA has been in continuous existance since its founding in 1924. Today 1500 acres are permanently protected as part of the park. The Association continues to protect the park and acquire more land. A wonderful trail system designed by former SGPA president Norman Greist and Richard Elliott is maintained by SGPA volunteers. SGPA prints trail maps and nature trail guides and provides them free of charge to park visitors. Today, the quarry has long been silent, but other intrusions still arise. Proposals for communications towers on the Giant, logging, and an effort to close the park have all been defeated thanks to the hard work of SGPA volunteers and the support of a large membership.
