Parks and Recreation Strategic Plan
Imagining the Future of Mountain View Parks and Recreation
Mountain View’s parks and recreation programs are an essential part of what makes this City a great place to live, work and play. While this has always been true, access to open space has become even more important as the community sought wellness and connection during and coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic. There is a lot to love about Mountain View’s parks and recreation programs, with well-used established parks and new parks being constructed such as Fayette Park, which opens in mid-October.

Imagining the Future of Mountain View Parks and Recreation
Mountain View’s parks and recreation programs are an essential part of what makes this City a great place to live, work and play. While this has always been true, access to open space has become even more important as the community sought wellness and connection during and coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic. There is a lot to love about Mountain View’s parks and recreation programs, with well-used established parks and new parks being constructed such as Fayette Park, which opens in mid-October. In addition, seven new park sites are currently identified, and staff has the capacity to complete the construction of one to two new parks a year. Even with these plans for park expansion, there is a tremendous opportunity to reimagine our parks and programs to provide enhanced amenities and recreational offerings to meet the evolving needs of the community and to create better access to open space in underserved areas such as Monta Loma, Rex Manor, Whisman and other neighborhoods north of Central Expressway, as well as the Central and San Antonio areas.
To seize this opportunity, the City is developing a Parks and Recreation Strategic Plan. This Plan, one of the City Council’s top priority projects, will guide the future of the City’s park and open space resources, community facilities and recreation programming. Your creative ideas and input are key to shaping an innovative plan that is responsive to community needs and will accomplish a bold new vision for our parks, facilities and programs.

Instead of building a ramp from Evelyn to the Shoreline Overpass,transform that cul-de-sac into a linear park with nice bike and walking paths, benches, trees, native plants...

I would love to see wind breakers on the tennis courts at Whisman Park. Other than that, I strongly support funding for tennis.

Our kids should be able to play on toxin free fields and play grounds. I understand that the crows eat grubs in the grass, but killing the bugs just eliminates all predators so that in a few months the grubs and crows come back worse than ever. And weeds are less likely to hurt children than untested chemicals.

More access to tennis courts
0 comment2Leslie20 days agoPlease consider the danger for children at Fayette park. deep hudden trench is there with giant sharp boulders at the bottom.
It is right next to a grass playing area where kids could be running about. Terrible
