The $1.4 million project at Rancho Cañada del Oro aims to help seniors and others with limited access.
The Santa Clara Valley Open Space Authority will open a new trail and bridge over Llagas Creek at its Rancho Cañada del Oro Open Space Preserve on Saturday June 8, 2024. The $1.4 million project is to provide new opportunities for people with limited access, including seniors and people in wheelchairs. A prominent South Bay parks agency will open a $1.4 million project Saturday that aims to make its lands more available for seniors, people in wheelchairs and others with limited mobility.
“Nature is here for everyone,” said Andrea Mackenzie, the open space agency’s general manager. “It has tremendous benefits for physical and mental health. It’s a great equalizer. We want to make sure nature is available for everybody.” The preserve features 12 miles of trails and is known for its rolling grasslands, wildflowers and oak trees. It is home to deer, bobcats, and other wildlife. Recreation amenities include parking for cars and horse trailers, accessible restrooms, and picnic tables.a non-profit group based in San Jose that leads hikes and other outings for seniors at parks and open space preserves around the Bay Area.
Among the group’s recent events were a birding hike on the Sunnyvale Baylands, a walking history tour of downtown Walnut Creek, and a wildflower hike at Pulgas Ridge Open Space Preserve in the hills along Interstate 280 near Redwood City. Mackenzie said that later this year, 5 miles of trails in the Rancho Cañada del Oro Open Space Preserve — which is made up of several former cattle ranches — will become part of the Bay Area Ridge Trail. The new bridge also will allow the agency to build trails on the southern parts of the property in the months and years ahead for hikers, bicyclists and horse riders.
