Heritage & Parks Committee

The Heritage and Parks Commission supports a two-fold interest—the City's focus on heritage attractions (predominately Santa Clara's Heritage Square & Historical District ), and the system of Parks & Trails that include unique landscaped areas throughout the City, local neighborhood parks, large City parks, the Santa Clara Arboretum, and the regional Santa Clara River Reserve recreational area. The Commission is appointed by the Mayor and includes five members of various expertise.

The Heritage and Parks Commission oversees changes in the Santa Clara Historical District and contributes to the design and implementation of features in new and existing parks both passive and active. The Commission meets the second Tuesday of each month at 4:30 p.m., in the Santa Clara Town Hall unless otherwise rescheduled and welcomes non commission members to be added to the agenda if they have concerns or suggestions related to a historical or park nature. The Commission also works with Eagle Scout Project candidates and directly interfaces with the Santa Clara City Parks Director.
