The
Friends of Santa
Teresa Park welcome you and your family to our web
page. We welcome you to participate in our service activities to make
Santa
Teresa Park a gem in the Santa Clara County Park system. Please use
this
web page to find out about our various activities.
We
invite you to explore
and walk in the evening after work
along the
foothill trails to visit some of the most scenic sites in the entire
Santa
Clara Valley. Hopefully, you will visit our majestic waterfall trail
and
eat a snack at its base. Included, in our invitation is a walk to the
upper
meadows. We encourage you to sit in the shade of the Pueblo area and
enjoy
watching the various wildlife animals graze on the wild vegetation.
Those
of you who like views may take an enjoyable hike up Coyote Peak to get
a vista view of the whole county. The trail’s scenic views can stretch
the boundaries of your eye from San Mateo to Morgan Hill.
We
encourage you to use our
web site to help you and your
family gain
information about our activities and events. We are a growing
organization,
whose members are dedicated to improving Santa Teresa County Park’s
resources
for the public to enjoy.
Join us
on our trail
building day events, historical
adventures, docent
activities and other park service projects. We welcome all the
volunteers
we can muster. In the future we will need lots of volunteers to help us
establish a docent program for the Joice-Bernal Museum site.
Our
organization is
recognized with the County of Santa Clara
Volunteer
program and we can offer you and your family an opportunity to
volunteer
for fun service and be rewarded with a free County Parks parking
pass.
We meet
monthly on the
first Thursday night at 7:00 in the

News
2017-2018

- Santa
Clara County Parks' "Wish you were here?" Ad Campaign in 2017
featured a billboard of Santa Teresa Park in downtown San Jose at 10th
St. and Hedding St. The picture of the Coyote Peak Trail was taken by
FOSTP secretary Ron Horii. 13 of his pictures were used for billboard
and busback ads for the County Parks.
- The Friends of Santa Teresa
Park held our first National
Night Out event
at the Bernal Ranch on Tuesday, August 1, 2017, from 5-7:30 pm. We
served free
ice cream and popsicles. Visitors could see a fire engine and a
sheriff's patrol car. A park ranger, sheriff's deputies, and
firemen were there to answer questions.
Children’s crafts
projects and games were provided. City
Councilmember Sergio Jimenez came by, greeted people, and helped with a
raffle. Sponsored by: The Friends of Santa
Teresa Park, Santa Clara County Parks and Recreation, United
Neighborhoods of Santa Clara County, and the City of San Jose’s
Community
Action and Pride Grant Program. Here is more
information about the event. This is a flyer for the event.
Here are pictures from our
National Night Out.
- Family
Fandango was held this year on Saturday, August 5 from 5-8pm
at the Bernal
Ranch. It celebrated the history of early California and its ties to
the
Anza Expedition and the Bernal family. The evening’s focus was on
family
fun through song, dance, demonstrations and activities that highlighted
the many contributions of our early communities. Here
are pictures
from that event.
- We
have applied for the City of San Jose's Cycle 1 Beautify San Jose
Grant. It replaces, but is derived from, the city's old Community
Action and Price (CAP) Grant. The grant funds neighborhood
beautification projects, community events, and operating expenses for
neighborhood organizations. We requested funding for our UNSCC
membership (pays for meeting insurance), our website, our PO box, our
newsletter and other publications, and expenses for next year's
National Night Out and Fandango. We also submitted the final report for
our Cycle 30 CAP Grant.
- Ron
Horii gave his annual outdoor
photography class at the Bernal-Gulnac-Joice
Ranch (Manila Drive at Camino Verde) on 10/30/17. Here
is the flyer for the class. He also gave a lunchtime brownbag
slideshow presentation on outdoor and nature photography at the Open Space
Authority of Santa Clara Valley's headquarters at 33 Las
Colinas Lane, San Jose, on September 22, 2017.
-
Ron
Horii gave
a Nature Photography Workshop at the Japanese Friendship
Gardens in Kelley Park, 1300 Senter Road San Jose, CA 95112 on Saturday
October 21, 2017 from 4pm to 6pm. See here for more
information.

- The
Muriel Wright Center, which is above the Pueblo Day Use Center in Santa
Teresa Park, is being converted into a mental health care facility. It
was originally built in the 1960's and was used as a residential
juvenile correctional facility. It was closed because of declining
census, and juvenile offenders were transferred to the James Ranch in
Morgan Hill. In 2014, the Santa Clara County Parks' Volunteer Office
moved in, along with an office of the County Sheriffs assigned to
patrol the County Parks. It was also used as a training facility by the
Sheriffs Office. In early 2016, the Volunteers Office were told they
would have to move out to make room for the mental health program.
Originally, they were told they would have to move out by June 2016,
but the date was pushed out. Now they are looking at early next year.
This year, they temporarily moved into a much smaller office space
adjacent to the Sheriff's station. The plan is to move them into a new
facility at Vasona Lake County Park, near County Park headquarters. In
the meantime, their former space has been cleared out (see picture
below). The retrofitting project, expected to cost $5 million, has been
funded. Neighbors in the community below Santa Teresa are concerned
about the impact of this project on their neighborhood. The Friends of
Santa Teresa Park are also concerned about the impact to the park and
park users. On 9/14/17, Mike Boulland, Ron Horii, and neighborhood
resident Issa Ajlouny met with Supervisor Mike Wasserman and his Chief
of Staff John Gibbs, who is also a County Parks Commissioner. They
discussed this issues, and John Gibbs created a Q and A
information document. Here
is the latest version of the Q&A document. We have
been discussing this issue in our meetings. We may have a larger
community meeting in the future or will participate in meetings
organized by other groups.
- On
8/13/17, a group of about 50 volunteers assembled at the Pueblo Day Use
Area for a Martin Luther King Day of Service in Santa Teresa Park.
Trail crew members gave instructions and led them down the Hidden
Springs Trail to the Ohlone Trail. The volunteers worked on the Ohlone
Trail, widening and smoothing it. Here's an album
of pictures from that day.
- Long-time
volunteer Rick Leonard passed away in November last year. He
volunteered at many events at Santa Teresa Park, especially the movie
night. Here are pictures
of Rick at Santa Teresa Park and some pictures from his memorial at his
house.
- Julie Lee, manager of the County Parks'
Volunteer Program sent out a letter
announcing the new County-wide Samaritan volunteer management system.
She also sent out a "how to"
guide with a FAQs section. Volunteers
will be using the system to enter their hours and can search
for
volunteer opportunities. There will be training sessions announced. Here
is the link to Samaritan. Contact
the County Parks Volunteers Office for access information and
instructions.

- There was a 70-acre fire in Santa Teresa
Park on July 10, 2018, starting at 3:08 pm. Called the Curie
Fire,
because it started above the corner of Curie Drive and San Ignacio
Avenue, it burned mostly grass and brush on hillsides above
the Norred Trail and below the Bernal Hill Trail. The trails acted like
firebreaks. The fire did not reach
Bernal Road or the Joice Trail. Helicopters and air tankers fought the
fire, along with ground crews. No structures were damaged, but the
Muriel Wright Center and IBM's Almaden Research Center were evacuated
as a precaution. The trails were closed the next day, but reopened on
July 12. The trails were undamaged, but the stretch of
the Norred
Trail below the Mine Trail was considerably widened, and the fence
removed. Here
are pictures of the firefight. Here are pictures of the
aftermath on
the Joice, Bernal Hill, Mine Trails and on
the Norred Trail and above the Bernal Ranch. This was the
second fire in Santa Teresa Park in 2018. On 5/27/18, there was a 16-acre
fire above the archery range. Again, only grass and brush
burned. The archery range was unaffected.

Friends of Santa Teresa Park held our second annual National Night Out
at the Bernal Ranch, in partnership with the County Parks on 8/7/18.

and
other information. We had FOSTP logo items: T-shirts,
patches, and glasses.
The County Parks had an information table, Santa Teresa's senior ranger
and his truck, tours of the ranch house, and cattle roping/branding.
The County Sheriffs sent a deputy who passed out sheriff's hats and
security items and information. Councilmember Sergio Jimenez's office
brought cloth shopping bags to pass out. The San Jose Police visited.
The San Jose Fire Department brought 2 fire trucks. Here
are pictures of the event.
- There's a new 6-minute

narrated by Doug McConnell, highlighting Santa Clara County Park's
legacy of providing outstanding recreational opportunities in beautiful
natural locations. Features include nature, historical sites, outdoor
recreation, and the people behind parks. It features many of the County
Parks, including Santa Teresa, Hellyer, Calero, Martial Cottle, and
Almaden Quicksilver.
- Viva CalleSJ
is a
free program that temporarily closes miles of San Jose streets to bring
communities together to walk, bike, skate, play, and explore the city
like never before. Each year's event opens upwards of six miles of
streets, through some of San Jose's most iconic neighborhoods for
people to come out and play for the day! This year's event
was on 9/23/18. Here is the route
map.
It started/ended at Martial Cottle Park, went east down Branham Lane to
Monterey Road, then north on Monterey all the way to E. William Street.
There were major activity hubs at Martial
Cottle, the County Fairgrounds, and at the SoFA (South of First Arts)
district. District 2 Councilmember Sergio Jimenez had a D2
Elbow
activity hub at the corner of Branham and Monterey. It had a climbing
wall, bounce poles, food trucks, the SJPL MakerSpaceShip, a
DJ, bike repairs, and information booths. The Friends of Santa Teresa
