Santa Clara County Parks

Santa Clara County acquired its first parkland in 1924, purchasing four hundred 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 twenty-eight parks encompassing nearly 45,000 acres. 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 tend to be larger in size than neighborhood or community parks. Many of the County's regional parks also feature points of local historic interest.

    What a great light show. The kids will love it. This is like a dream, everything comes to life. Now with the new dinasour display,it's also got a little history to it. It has just about every thing you can imagine lit up. You have to check it out at least once. Collapse

    Being a big fan of both Vasona and Christmas Lights displays, you would think that the Fantasy of Lights would be right up my alley. But after seeing those huge commercial signs attached to each display, I've always boycotted the event. They could have handed out a flyer at the entrance that included the sponsor's names. Or even have a Burma Shave-type row of sponsor row of signs at the beginning. But including those oversized, ugly sponsor ads next to each display, and that on top of paying for admission, is simply crass and void of the friendly spirit that the displays should portray. After reading comments such as this, maybe the F-O-L group or the sponsors will have the inclination to get this changed. Collapse

    Club D'Jive is a great band with a lot to offer almost any venue from house parties, to Holiday Parties to Picnics in the Park. I have seen them play dozens of times and they keep you toe tapping and hand clapping. You come away singing their songs! I'm glad to see them at Vasona this year. Collapse
