Overview of Santa Clara County Parks District
Sr. Ranger Jeff Cossins advises that the 5 rangers that work Ed Levin, are also responsible for covering Joseph Grant, Alviso, and Penitencia Creek Parks during each of their shifts. Six months ago, the parks district implemented a requirement for official park "Friends" groups to become more formalized. This formalization process included the signing of a revised "Friends of County Parks Annual Renewal Agreement". The agreement provides the Parks District with a point of contact, and specifies an approval process that is required to help facilitate projects within the county parks. Jeff also advised that the Rangers no longer lock the trail gates at night, but to REMEMBER that the park is still CLOSED at sunset!
