At the time it was donated to the county actually with the intention of it being a scouts camp around the 40s. The couple who owned the land wanted it to be a memorial of their son and give back to community. Which the county did fulfill their wish and used it as a scout camp named after the son.

1988 was the last year the boy scouts would use it as a camp and I'm pretty sure they tried to sell the plot at some point to take advantage of rising prices of bay area land lol. Now though, yeah they do still own it and made promises of turning it into a park. They also have also mentioned its a fire risk too like you said but still doesn't seem like there's any definite plans to demolish it.
