The Master Gardener Community Education Center at Martial Cottle Park: Supporting the Environment at Your Own Home is a project that will create a multi‐generational Community Educational Center that will help individuals and families to become stewards of nature and to grow healthy food year‐round using environmentally sound gardening practices.
The project supports use of the Guadalupe River Park as an outdoor lab to help familiarize children with the outdoors, instill a sense of environmental stewardship, and to teach hands‐on, standards‐based science, technology, engineering, arts and math (STEAM) lessons, with a special emphasis on serving students from Title One schools.
The Authority contributed $425,000 toward the City of Santa Clara's project to create a new 3-acre neighborhood park located along the San Tomas Aquino Creek Trail, on the southwest corner of San Tomas Expressway and Monroe Avenue. The grant funded a community garden, open space, and picnic area. The park is currently under construction.
