ABOUT HELLYER COUNTY PARK

Hellyer County Park offers 178 acres of urban land and is located in the heart of Santa Clara County's regional park system. The Coyote Creek, which meanders through the center of the park, is the focus of the park's natural environment. A thick undergrowth and tall trees characterize the well-defined creek channel which is home to many different species of wildlife.

• VOLUNTEER! It takes people-power to put on a successful event such as Picnic by the Lake. We need volunteers to assist with set-up, during, and clean-up of the event. Consider volunteering by contacting Mario B. Lopez via email at Mario.lopez@sen.ca.gov.
