The Pine Ridge Association (PRA) is a cooperating association supporting Henry W. Coe State Park in California. Formed in 1975, it works with park staff to provide interpretive and educational programs for the public. The park spans more than 87,000 acres in the Diablo Range, south of San Jose, and features rugged ridges, meadows, steep canyons, creeks, and a 23,300-acre wilderness area. Its varied habitats support diverse plants and wildlife, including mountain lions.

The park is open year-round and welcomes hikers, backpackers, mountain bikers, horseback riders, campers, anglers, picnickers, and photographers. Visitor experiences range from short, relatively gentle walks to challenging multi-day backpacking trips. Facilities and activities include drive-in campsites, fishing in lakes and ponds, nature programs, and opportunities to learn about local animals, wildflowers, and geology. Through its website and visitor resources, the PRA shares park information, trail and planning guidance, event details, maps, books, newsletters, and merchandise. The association also invites public support for its work with the park.
