PARK & TRAIL IMPROVEMENTS
PROGRAM SUMMARY
The Parks & Trails Program provides for capital improvements to the City of Saratoga’s neighborhood and city parks
and plaza, sports fields, bike and pedestrian trails, and open space areas throughout the city. Projects within the
Parks & Trails Program are classified as General/Citywide Park Improvements, City Park Projects, Neighborhood Park
Projects, Sport Park Projects, or Trail and Open Space Projects. Within the project classification, the projects are
sub-classified by site. This structure allows for the tracking of resources by individual park, trail, or open space
area, and by specific project work completed.
General Repairs & Maintenance – include general and citywide park and trail repair projects to provide for minor
projects that are not specified bodies of work to an individual site, and for citywide projects that apply to multiple
sites. Projects could include fence repairs or improvements, tree removals, park furniture and equipment, lighting
or irrigation enhancements, structure repairs, or various minor projects that arise to improve the infrastructure.
This category also includes the Citywide Tree Replanting project which is primarily fun ded through tree fines and
used for tree planting and irrigation throughout the City. A third subcategory is funding projects for open space
contributions.
City Parks – include projects which improve the larger parks which draw the entire community. These include
Quarry Park, Wildwood Park, Hakone Gardens, Heritage Orchard Park, Blaney Plaza and the Village Historical Park.
City Parks generally have features and attractions in addition to playground equipment, picnic areas, and ball courts.
Neighborhood Parks – are comprised of projects for the City’s smaller parks located within neighborhoods. Th ese
include Azule Park, Beauchamps Park, Bellgrove Park, Brookglen Park, Foothill Park, Gardiner Park, Kevin Moran
Park, and Ravenswood Park.
Sport Parks & Facilities Projects - include improvement projects at the City’s sport field type parks. These sites
include Congress Springs Park, El Quito Park, and West Valley Soccer Fields.
Trails & Open Space Projects –include Joe’s Trail at Saratoga De Anza, Saratoga Village to Quarry Park Walkway
and Saratoga-to-the-Sea Trail.
The schedule on the following page summarizes the City’s Parks & Trails Program capital projects , funding status,
and impacts to the operating budget.

Project Name City-wide Tree Replanting Program Project Number 9211-002
Department Public Works Project Manager Kevin Meek
Description This ongoing project provides for the upkeep of the City’s urban forest through the planting of
City trees and shrubbery, installation of irrigation for new plantings, tree maintenance, and
removal of damaged trees on City property.
Location The Tree Replanting Program is a Citywide project, primarily directed toward reforesting areas
within City parks and medians.
Project
Background
To mitigate the loss of the urban forest, the City assesses fines for unpermitted tree removal
and related violations, and then uses these funds to reforest the City. Fines provide the funding
for the cost to plant new trees and shrubbery and if needed, to install irrigation to sustain the
new plantings on public property. Staff sometimes complete citywide tree replanting work;
however, larger-scale projects may be contracted out to tree and landscape contractors.
The Citywide Tree Replanting Program offsets tree planting and related maintenance expenses
that are funded through the City’s operating budget. Additionally, maintaining the City’s urban
tree canopy adds to Saratoga’s attractiveness and increases its desirability. To some degree,
this helps to generate higher property values and consequently higher property tax revenues
received by the City.
In Fiscal Year 2016/17, the program supported the 2020 by 2020 Tree Planting Challenge. The
goal of this program is to plant 2,020 trees by the year 2020 . The City is offering to share the
cost of planting up to two trees in the front yard of Saratoga residents. The City pays
approximately $105 per tree and residents can expect to pay $95 to $135 depending upon the
type of tree selected. In a partnership with Our City Forest, 1,076 trees were planted either by
the City or as part of a permit program.
Operating
Budget Impacts
Administrative and maintenance staff costs for project oversight and implementation of $_____
will be incorporated into the Fiscal Year 2018/19 operating budget.

Project Name Sustainable Landscaping Project
Project Number 9211-008
Department Public Works Project Manager Kevin Meek
Description This project will reduce the amount of turf at City parks in order to decrease irrigation and
maintenance costs.
Location This project will be located at City parks and medians throughout the City where water
conservation is appropriate.
Project
Background
The City considers pursuing water conservation methods throughout the City a priority and has
already converted turf areas at Kevin Moran Park, Beauchamps Park, Azule Park, City Hall and
Saratoga Prospect Center into native and drought tolerant landscape. Areas selected for
conversion to drought tolerant landscape were underutilized. As a result, conversion had a
minimal impact on park users.
Replacing turf with drought tolerant landscaping reduces watering costs, as well as staff time
required for turf maintenance. As a result, this project helps produce cost savings each year.
A $25,000 transfer from the General Fund and rebates of $1 per square foot of converted turf
received from the Santa Clara Valley Water District fund this project.
This project is recommended to be closed as there are no additional turf conversions planned
for at this time. Future projects will likely require more funds than currently available.
Operating
Budget Impacts
There will be no impact to the Fiscal Year 2018/19 operating budget.

Project Name El Quito Park “Magical Bridge”
Playground
Project Number 9211-009
Department Public Works Project Manager Kevin Meek
Description This project will fund the construction of an all-inclusive playground structure.
Location The location is located at El Quito Park.
Project
Background
An all-inclusive play structure is a revolutionary concept to make playgrounds accessible to
children of all-abilities. Since a playground is a social space, it is important to give children
with all ability levels similar experiences and the opportunity to play side by side.
The Magical Bridge Foundation is a Silicon Valley non-profit that advocates for truly inclusive
and innovative playgrounds. The foundation began in 2008 and opened their first playground
in Palo Alto in April 2015. Collaborating with the Magical Bridge Foundation will give the City
access to years of research, fundraising development, design, and construction strategies.
Based on the already existing playground in Palo Alto, the estimated cost for this project is
$4,000,000 with a City match initially set at $160,000 coming from a $32,000 transfer from CIP
Reserve and $128,000 from unallocated Park In-lieu fees. Additional funding will come from a
community fundraising effort. Once an agreement is in place with the Magical Bridge
Foundation, the estimated cost and project timeline will be updated.
This project is recommended to be moved to the Unfunded Projects list and funds reallocated
to other Capital Improvement Plan projects.

Budget Impacts
There will be no impact to the Fiscal Year 2018/19 operating budget.

Project Name Tree Dedication Program Project Number 9212-001
Department Public Works Project Manager Kevin Meek
Description This program provides a 50% matching grant for the cost of trees purchased through the Tree
and Bench Dedication Program.
Location The Tree Dedication Program is a Citywide project.
Project
Background
The City of Saratoga’s Tree and Bench Dedication program allows members of the public to
purchase trees or benches for dedication purposes. Trees dedicated through this program are
planted on City property, either in City parks, along Saratoga trails, or on City medians. The
cost to purchase a 15 gallon tree through the dedication program is $500.
In July 2010, the City Council set aside $25,000 for tree dedications to encourage the public to
participate in the program. The funding reduces the cost to dedicate trees by 50% and is
expected to help fund the planting of 100 trees. Reducing the cost of dedicating a tree is
intended to help maintain and expand the City’s urban forest.
Management of the program is performed by City staff and planting is typically contracted out.
On average, the City receives 3 to 5 tree dedication applications per year. This project is
recommended to be closed and funds consolidated into the Citywide Tree Planting Program.

Project Name SMSCF Tree Dedication Grant Program Project Number 9212-002
Department Public Works Project Manager Kevin Meek
Description This grant program provides an additional 25% subsidy for participants toward the cost of trees
purchased through the Tree and Bench Dedication Program.
Location The Saratoga-Monte Sereno Community Fund (SMSCF) Tree Dedication Grant Program is a
Citywide project.
Project
Background
The City of Saratoga’s Tree and Bench Dedication program allows members of the public to
purchase trees or benches for dedication purposes. Trees dedicated through this program are
planted on City property, either in City parks, along Saratoga trails, or on City medians. The
cost to purchase a 15 gallon tree through the dedication program is $500.
As noted in the Tree Dedication Program, the City Council set aside $25,000 for tree dedications
to encourage the public to participate in the program. The funding reduces the cost to dedicate
trees by 50% and is expected to help fund the planting of 100 trees. Reducing the cost of
dedicating a tree is intended to help maintain and expand the City’s urban forest.
In August, 2011, the SMSCF gave the City a $2,500 matching grant to further encourage
participation in the Tree and Bench Dedication Program. This additional funding will provide
a 50% match for the remainder of the tree or bench dedication fee, meaning the cost is, in effect,
lowered to 25% of the normal fee. For example, the SMSCF grant will be used to further reduce
the cost of dedication trees from $250 per tree to $125 per tree for up to 20 trees. To date, 14
trees have been planted.
This project is recommended to be closed and remaining funds either returned to SMSCF or
consolidated into the Citywide Tree Replanting Program.

Description This project will fund infrastructure improvements at Hakone Gardens.
Location Projects will take place at various locations throughout Hakone Gardens.
Project
Background
Hakone Gardens, a city-owned eighteen-acre park nestled in the foothills just outside of
Saratoga Village, is maintained and operated by the Hakone Foundation, a non-profit
organization that seeks to promote a deeper understanding of Japanese and general Asian
culture through the preservation of the oldest Japanese-style residential garden in the Western
Hemisphere.
In May 2016, the City Council approved the Hakone Gardens Master Plan. During the
development of the Plan a number of deferred maintenance projects that required more than
simple maintenance or repairs were identified. Project examples include well pump
replacement, wood damage mitigation, pest control, and garden, electrical, and lighting
improvements.
Initial funding for this project came from a $125,000 allocation from the CIP reserve. These
funds have been use for the replacement of railings, lighting and fixtures, painting or public
restrooms, and other repairs. Fiscal Year 2017/18 improvements include the replacement of
the Cultural Center deck railings and reconstruction of the Upper Wisteria Pavilion.
Improvements completed through Fiscal Year 2017/18 represent ten of the fourteen deferred
maintenance projects identified in the Master Plan. Additional funding will be needed to
address the remaining projects.
Operating
Budget Impacts
Administrative and maintenance staff costs for project oversight and implementation of $_____

Department Public Works Project Manager John Cherbone
Description This project funds improvements to the Koi Pond at Hakone Gardens.
Location This project is located at Hakone Gardens.
Project
Background
In May 2016, the City Council approved the Hakone Gardens Master Plan.
A part of the development of the Master Plan included a n analysis of the Koi Pond. The study

ecosystem. In addition to the plumbing, mechanical, and electrical upgrades needed for the
filtration system, the project will also include a structure to house all of the necessary
equipment.
The filtration improvements will sustain oxygen flow for the approximately 20 koi living in the
pond and will reduce the algae levels in the pond.
A $110,000 transfer from Park In-lieu funds, a $100,000 contribution from the Santa Clara
County Board of Supervisors, a $96,548 transfer from the Hakone Gardens Miscellaneous
Improvements Project, and a $43,000 transfer from the CIP Reserve funds this project.

Project Name Joe’s Trail at Saratoga De Anza Project Number 9274-001
Department Public Works Project Manager Macedonio Nunez
Description This project developed an existing dirt pathway adjacent to the Union Pacific Railroad line into
a 1.3 mile paved bicycle and walking trail.
Location The 1.3 mile trail is located along an existing PG&E right-of-way corridor positioned parallel and
adjacent to the Union Pacific Railroad line between Saratoga-Sunnyvale Road and Saratoga
Avenue. The trail crosses two creeks (Rodeo Creek and Saratoga Creek) and two roadways (Cox
Avenue and Glen Brae Drive).
Project
Background
This project developed a trail that was used informally by local residents for walking and bicycle
riding. The surface of the trail consists of decomposed granite, creating a smoother and safer
surface by removing rocks and weeds in the pathway. Joe’s trail is the City’s first bicycle trail.
The project also included trail corridor improvements, such as a small parking area with
approximately 5 parking spaces and a trail-staging site with access from Saratoga-Sunnyvale
Road, re-vegetation along the trail corridor, and construction of pedestrian bridges over Rodeo
Creek and Saratoga Creek. The trail connects to existing bike lanes along Saratoga-Sunnyvale
Road, Cox Avenue, and Saratoga Avenue. Funding comes from several sources:
Design of the trail was paid for by a Valley Transportation Authority grant and a private
donation, which included a stipulation that the trail include the first name of the donor’s
spouse. Formally known as the “De Anza Trail”, the City Council adopted the new name “Joe’s
Trail at Saratoga De Anza” in 2007.
A Federal Congestion Management and Air Quality (CMAQ) matching grant funds construction
of Joe’s Trail, with the remainder of the donation covering the City’s matching fund
requirement.

Project Name Guava Ct/Fredericksburg Entrance Project Number 9274-002
Department Public Works Project Manager John Cherbone
Description This project funds the removal of the Guava Court barrier allowing access from Guava Court to
Fredericksburg Drive (Access) near Joe’s Trail.
Location This project is located at Guava Court near Fredericksburg Access at Joe’s Trail.
Project
Background
In 2007, the pedestrian crossings connecting Fredericksburg Drive and Guava Court were
declared unsafe by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) and were consequently
closed. Since that time, the City of Saratoga has developed Joe’s Trail at Saratoga De Anza.
In September 2012, residents living near the Fredericksburg and Guava Court access points
expressed interest in having the crossing reopened. After making improvements to resolve
safety issues cited by the CPUC, the City reopened the Fredericksburg entrance to connect to
Joe’s Trail. The Guava Court entrance on the other side of the railroad tracks was not reopened,
as it requires an easement as well as pathway and safety improvements.
Residents believe that reopening the access point at Guava Court would eliminate the need to
travel along an arterial street and thereby provide a safer option for pedestrian and bicyclists.
Additionally, re-opening the entrance would provide a pathway to connect the Fredericksburg
Drive neighborhood with Blue Hills Elementary School.
The estimated project cost is $1.2 million including design ($227,000), construction ($730,000)
and citywide railroad crossing mitigation improvements required by Union Pacific Railroad
($262,500).
Initial funding comes from a $300,000 Transportation Fund for Clean Air (TFCA) grant and
City matching funds of $45,880. Additional funds will be required to complete all of the
required mitigation elements.
Operating
Budget Impacts
Engineering and administrative staff costs for project oversight and implementation of $______

Project Name Saratoga Village to Quarry Park Walkway Project Number 9277-004
Department Public Works Project Manager John Cherbone
Description This project would fund the design, environmental review and construction of a pedestrian
connection from Saratoga Village to Hakone Gardens and Quarry Park.
Location This approximate 0.50-mile pedestrian path would be located along the south side of Big
Basin Way / Congress Springs Road / Highway 9 beginning at the sidewalk just west of 6th
Street and ending at the eastern bridge at Quarry Park. A bike path will continue from the
eastern bridge to the park’s main entrance.
Project
Background
Developing a pedestrian connection from the Village to Hakone Gardens and Quarry Park will
enhance and enliven Saratoga Village, as the project would help to bring foot traffic to the
Village, Hakone Gardens and Quarry Park. Pedestrians are currently walking along the highway
when the Hakone Gardens parking lot is full and this project will provide a safer path of travel.
The path will also serve as a critical starting point for the Saratoga-to-Sea Trail that is part of
the Santa Clara County Trail Master Plan. The Saratoga-to-Sea Trail is to begin in Saratoga
Village, travel up to Hakone Gardens and Quarry Park, through the existing Sanborn-Skyline and
Skyline-to-the-Sea trail systems to the Pacific Ocean.
Design, environmental review, and construction will be completed over three phases:
Phase I – Saratoga Village to Hakone Gardens
Phase II – Hakone Gardens to east entrance
Phase III – East entrance to main entrance
In Fiscal Year 2016/17, $50,000 was allocated from the CIP reserve to fund the design phase of
this project. The estimated cost for the entire project is $150,000. Additional funds will be
needed to complete this project.
Operating
Budget Impacts
Engineering and administrative staff costs for project oversight and implementation of $______

TRAIL PROJECTS
Project Name Saratoga-to-the-Sea Trail Project Number 9278-001
Department Public Works Project Manager John Cherbone
Description This project funds the design, environmental review and construction of a trail connecting
Quarry Park to Sanborn Park and the Skyline-to-the-Sea Trail including improvements to the 0.5
mile long trail segment in Quarry Park that will connect to the future Saratoga-to-the-Sea Trail.
Location This project begins at the southern property line of Quarry Park and ends at Sanborn Park.
Project
Background
Quarry Park opened on October 31, 2015 through the dedicated efforts of the City, Mid-
Peninsula Regional Open Space District, Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors, and County
of Santa Clara Parks and Recreation Department. For many years, there has been an effort to
connect Saratoga to the Pacific Ocean via a hiking trail, referred to as the Saratoga-to-the-Sea
Trail. As a condition of the Quarry Park Purchasing Agreement, the City agreed to pursue a
trail crossing San Jose Water Company property adjacent to Quarry Park to serve as the
starting point of the trail. When developed, the 3.2-mile long trail connecting Quarry Park to
Sanborn Park will increase recreational hiking opportunities for Saratoga residents and
visitors.
This phase of the project will focus on the design and environmental review of the proposed
trail. The City will work in cooperation with the Mid-Peninsula Regional Open Space District.
Work will also include trail surface work, removal of bush, weed, and dead trees, and
installment of signage and safety fences on a 0.5 trail segment within Quarry Park.
The Saratoga-to-the-Sea Trail development is part of the City’s General Plan and will enhance
the region’s options for recreational activity.
A $350,000 allocation from the CIP Reserve and a $265,000 grant from the Mid-Peninsula Open
Space District fund this project. Additional funding is needed for the construction phase of this
project currently in the Unfunded CIP Projects list.
