Alum Rock Park's 150th Anniversary Celebration, 5/14/22 by Ronald Horii
San Jose's Alum Rock Park was founded in 1872. It's the oldest municipal park in California. On 5/14/22, it celebrated its 150th anniversary with an event in the park, with exhibitors and activities. I rode my bike into the park along the Penitencia Creek Trail to the heart of the park where the event was taking place. Here's more information about Alum Rock Park: https://www.sanjoseca.gov/Facilities/Facility/Details/176. Here's the park map: http://ca-sanjose.civicplus.com/DocumentCenter/View/8561.
