Experience the regional park’s past, present and future at fun-filled, family-friendly one-day event
Mountain View, Calif. — The community is invited to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Shoreline at Mountain View regional park by taking a journey through the regional park’s past, present and future at a one-day event in October. Shoreline opened to the public in 1983, with much of the acreage located over a closed landfill. Today, Mountain View’s 750-acre wildlife refuge and recreational area is considered a treasured place in the middle of Silicon Valley.
The family-friendly festivities will take place 11 a.m.-3 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 15 at Shoreline, which is located at 3070 N. Shoreline Blvd. The event will include:
