The main entrance into Wilder Dairy Cultural Preserve is off of Coast Road, while there is also a back entrance from the Bike Path. This historic ranch is owned by the state and has been preserved within the park's open space. The creamery is no longer in service, but there are restrooms, water fountains, and educational signs located here.
