The Authority helped to fund the City of San José’s project to construct an outdoor classroom for Guadalupe Oak Grove Park patrons that serves as a space for environmental education programs and nature-based outdoor play. This space invites families to spend time in nature while also encouraging them to learn about the five different ecosystems within the park and the various wildlife that live there.
The Authority contributed funds totaling $3,235,000 towards the purchase of land along the former Union Pacific railroad in the Willow Glen neighborhood of San Jose. The trail will eventually connect three creek trails: the Los Gatos Creek Trail, the Guadalupe Creek Trail, and the Coyote Creek Trail. This 1-mile trail features an iconic water tower and fruit crates that pay homage to the Valley of Heart's Delight.
The Authority contributed funds to help the Guadalupe River Park Conservancy (GRPC) protect and enhance an open space area in Guadalupe Gardens by defining its borders via split-rail fences, adding Guadalupe Gardens lettering to the fences along Hedding, Coleman, and Asbury streets to create a sense of place, and planting poppies along the fence to create an attractive border.
