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.
