LOS GATOS CREEK COUNTY PARK MASTER PLAN UPDATE

Thank you for your continued interest in the Master Plan process. The County of Santa Clara Parks and Recreation Commission unanimously recommended the Plan to a subcommittee of the Board of Supervisors. All of your comments over the months have been appreciated. The Plan has been successful in addressing a diversity of needs for the greatest number of users.

The Plan is tentatively scheduled for adoption on October 29, 2002 by the Board of Supervisors. For continued updates see: http://www.parkhere.org/planning/planning.html

Once the Plan is adopted, funding for implementation of priority projects will follow. If funding can be secured in the next fiscal year some improvements could be underway by late 2003.

If you should have any questions about the process please contact Antoinette Romeo, County Planner at (408) 355-2235.

Thank you for all of your effort and input on seeing this through.

Sincerely,
Zarka Popovic
Administrative Analyst
City of Campbell Public Works

(note: It was reported to me at one time that this would be a dog park with water (i.e., swimming) access, but that is not the case! There is no WATER FEATURE for dogs at this site. The only water will be drinking water. It is a small one-acre site that will allow users of the Park and the Trail to unleash their dogs for exercise and socialization.

Dogs are forbidden to go into any of the percolation ponds or the creek and fines are hefty. The area is a sanctuary for nesting birds.

Palo Alto

Palo Alto has three parks with fenced in dog park areas:
 Mitchell Park, one of the best in the area.

 Greer Park has a smaller dog run.

 Hoover Park supposedly has a dog run, although we've never been there.
 

Redwood City

 Shore Dog Park (also see shoredogs.org)
 

San Mateo

They're working on one!!
A meeting held at city hall on 8/4/1999 was in favor of further discussion for an off-leash dog run. Dog owners will help in the decision process concerning finding a suitable location, etc.
