In 2018, the Open Space Authority granted $59,250 to the City of Santa Clara's project to install a decomposed granite trail and restoe upland habitat near Saratoga Creek. This project gives people of all ages and abilities access to nature in their neighborhood and to the new all-inclusive playground in Bowers Park. In addition, the new trail creates a walking loop by connecting to existing park trails. The trail enhances and integrates play spaces with nature, while supporting sustainability and age-friendly outdoor activities.
