I am proud to say this was the most we’ve ever raised and the biggest annual increase in the history of the campaign. It was truly a fantastic year, and working with so many wonderful and compassionate volunteers was a tremendous inspiration. In fact, my belief that Californians are the most generous people in the world is stronger than ever, and I know that we can set the bar even higher this year.

    Santa Clara County Community Wildfire Protection Plan Annex 18 – County of Santa Clara Parks and Recreation Department ANNEX 18. COUNTY OF SANTA CLARA PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT Prepared by: Flint Glines, Seth Hiatt, Don Rocha, John Patterson, and Barry Hill Santa Clara County acquired its first parkland in 1924, purchasing 400 acres near Cupertino, which became Stevens Creek County Park. In 1956, the Department of Parks and Recreation was formed. Currently, the regional parks system has expanded to 29 parks encompassing nearly 48,000 acres. Santa Clara County Parks and Recreation Department (County Parks) provides a sustainable system of diverse regional parks, trails, and natural areas that connects people with the natural environment, and supports healthy lifestyles, while balancing recreation opportunities with the protection of natural, cultural, historic, and scenic resources (https://www.sccgov.org/sites/parks/AboutUs/Pages/About-the-County-Regional-Parks.aspx). County Parks are regional parks located close to home, yet away from the pressures of the valley’s urban lifestyle. The parks offer opportunities for recreation in a natural environment to all County residents. Regional parks are larger in size, usually more than 200 acres, than local neighborhood or community parks. Many of the County’s regional parks also feature points of local historic interest. County park locations are shown in Figure 18.1.

  • Presidio Trust Management Plan: Land Use Policies for Area B of the Presidio of San Francisco (PTMP, Or Plan)
    Preface AN AERIAL VIEW OF FORT SCOTT, CAPTURED IN 2001 In 1972, in recognition of its spectacular setting, important historical resources, and rich ecological and scenic attributes, Congress decreed that if the U.S. Army no longer needed the Presidio of San Francisco, it would become part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA), the country’s largest national park in an urban area. In 1989, the U.S. Army announced that the oldest continuously operating military post in the country would be closed, and so the Presidio became a park for the American people. The very characteristics that distinguish the Presidio - its many historic buildings, cultural landscapes, and urban location - also make it expensive to preserve and operate. In 1996, in recognition of the Presidio’s singular character and of the challenges and expense attending its preservation, Congress took a further step and established the Presidio Trust. Congress reasoned that “an innovative public/private partnership that minimizes cost to the United States Treasury” was necessary to 1 oversee the Presidio as a distinct part of the GGNRA. 1 The 1,491-acre Presidio of San Francisco is at the center of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA), which was created by Congress in 1972. The GGNRA legislation ensured that if the military deemed the Presidio excess to its needs, jurisdiction would be transferred to the National Park Service (NPS). In 1989, the Presidio was designated for closure and in 1994, the U.S. Army transferred the Presidio to the NPS. In 1996, the Presidio Trust Act (see Appendix A) gave jurisdiction of the 1,168-acre inland area of the Presidio known as Area B to the Presidio Trust; the NPS continues to manage the shoreline, or Area A.

  • 37 Miles of Trails Connecting Saratoga to the Sea
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE November 18, 2020 Media Contact Lauren Pettipiece [email protected] 408.868.1275 37 Miles of Trails Connecting Saratoga to the Sea SARATOGA, CA – The City of Saratoga is proud to announce the completion of the Saratoga to the Skyline Trail from Quarry Park. This 9.7-mile trail is the final segment needed to realize a dream that began over 50 years ago to connect Saratoga to the Pacific Ocean via 37 miles of hiking trails from Saratoga through County and State Parks in collaboration with the County of Santa Clara, Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District, and San Jose Water Company. “As I hike the trails at Quarry Park, I am reminded of all those who worked for so many decades to make this trail from Saratoga to the Pacific Ocean a reality,“ said Saratoga Mayor Howard Miller. “Throughout the hike, there are beautiful vistas, views of wonderful creeks, and interpretive signs to teach you about the area. I encourage you to take your time, and enjoy nature and all it has to offer.” Quarry Park, a 64-acre property once used by Santa Clara County to mine rock and gravel for roads in the County, opened to the public on October 31, 2015. Located in the hills of Saratoga, the park features picturesque trails and picnic spots and was acquired by the City with the support of Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District and the County of Santa Clara Department of Parks and Recreation. The partnerships that helped make the opening of Quarry Park possible were also essential to this opening of the Saratoga to the Skyline Trail just 5 years later.
