County of Santa Clara

About the Project

The Open Space Authority contributed funds towards the County of Santa Clara's efforts to open a 288-acre urban park on the Martial Cottle Family Ranch. The Cottle family farmed the land for 150 years and the park reflects this agricultural history through providing land for farmers and educational activities. The park features a trail system and several group picnic areas.
