This page is so empty and so out of date

I have a lot of photos -- I probably have better resolution versions of all of them on my home computer
- (Here are some: http://martialcottlepatrol.blogspot.com/
- and there are more probably among these... https://dogblog.finchester.org/search/label/Martial%20Cottle%20Park). A couple of posts also include maps of the park; they should be public domain because they were part of the counties or states planning for the park. Dang, I wish I hadn't thrown out all those papers.

There is also a lot of information online about the park. I will start to collect things here so that if I have time left or anyone else has time) they can update and expand this.

Possibly useful note Emma Prusch Farm Park Is a similar park in the same county.
A bit About the park and its grand opening date and a little history: https://www.mercurynews.com/2014/12/13/santa-clara-county-dedicates-newest-park-a-former-farm/ Note: this article indicates that the park was donated to the state, but that's not entirely true. Half was donated to the state; the other half was donated to the county Of Santa Clara. The funding, planning, and management are divided between them in various ways; I will have to find some info on that. Sadly I think I threw out all of the documentation I had saved when I moved out of California a little while ago.
A speck about the park and how the open space authority contributed: https://www.openspaceauthority.org/community/success_story.html?env=success%5C-story-1----
