Bonnie Preston led a hike to nearby Martial Cottle Park ,off of Snell. There was a 3-4 mile flat, loop trail plus shorter paths that went into the interior. The park is named for the 19th-century farmer whose family donated the 287-acre farm to Santa Clara County with the intent of preserving the agricultural heritage of “The Valley of Heart’s Delight”. The park remains a work in progress that maintains a working farm where Master gardeners plant the annual crop, tend to it and then harvest it.
