San Jose Parks Foundation

You helped to save this amazing treasure for our city's youth. San Jose Parks Foundation joined Paul Murphy, Carol Kruger, Greg Fox, and other parents and concerned citizens to prevent  the closing of California's largest Skate Park. Donations are still accepted online 24/7 to anyone wanting to help preserve this treasure for our kids.

You, especially the members of Friends of Family Camp worked in concert with City staff (PRNS), and the City Council under the leadership of Councilkmember Nancy Pyle, to create a plan for self-sustainable growth over the next decade and beyond. More work needs to be done, but there are forces working to create a viable future for San Jose Family Camp.

You gave a boost to the park and trail volunteers. Some of you were those volunteers. Park and Trail Volunteers, led by indefatigable Mollie Tobias, are essential to preserving our parks and trails.

Volunteer groups come from companies such as Google, eBay, VMware, Cisco, Yahoo, Deloitte, along with community groups like the Stanford Black Student Union, Alum Rock Boy Scouts, Evergreen Girl Scouts, West Valley Students, Mormon Helping Hands, and many others.
