Friends of Guadalupe River Park and Gardens

The Friends of Guadalupe River Park and Gardens was formed in 1995 through the merger of two existing nonprofit corporations -- Friends of the Guadalupe River Park and the Guadalupe Gardens Corporation. The mission of the organization is to provide community leadership for the development and active use of the park through education, advocacy and stewardship. In addition to working with numerous governmental agencies and providing a citizen perspective on development issues, the Friends promote awareness and community participation by providing educational and outreach programs and volunteer opportunities.

Friends of Guadalupe River Park and Gardens is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors, composed of community leaders chosen for their expertise and particular interest in this project. A staff of five, three full-time and two part-time employees, carry out the work of the Board.

The Friends of Guadalupe River Park and Gardens organization serves the broad population of Santa Clara County who benefit from this regional park. This includes residents and office workers adjacent to the park who enjoy the trails and open space, bicyclists and pedestrians who use the trails (which will eventually connect to the County-wide trail system) for recreation and transportation, garden enthusiasts, and adults and children who participate in our educational programs.
