Fremont Park
July, 2005
Fremont Park's childrens play area is now open. This long awaited
opening follows a prolonged period of construction that started fall of 2004.
Many residents have expressed concerns that the play area was closed for so long.
Overall the new play area is being well received.
Simultaneous with the opening of the children's park, a large part
of the park appears to have been subsumed into a
Senior
Citizens Center building expandsion
project. The scope, duration, and final impact to the public park area
is not known. Residents should contact the
City of
Santa Clara with any
questions or concerns about the ongoing park construction, and the extent
to which additional portions of the the park may be repurposed for non-general public use.
