Grand Opening of the Alviso Marina County Park Boat Docks 6/5/10 by Ronald Horii
I created this album in 2023, just before Day on the Bay on 10/14/23. It has pictures of the Grand Opening of the boat docks at Alviso Marina County Park. For the first time in 25 years, it allowed recreational boater access to the Alviso Slough from Alviso Marina County Park. This was the flyer for the Grand Opening: http://www.regathon.com/alviso/flier-2010.pdf. Here's a news story about it: https://www.mercurynews.com/2010/06/05/where-san-jose-meets-s-f-bay-alviso-boat-ramp-opens-new-era/.
This Grand Opening event inspired Santa Clara County District 3 Supervisor Dave Cortese to initiate the first Day on the Bay at Alviso Marina County Park on 10/16/10: https://tinyurl.com/5cfmaprv.

I made this webpage with sunset pictures at the Alviso Marina in 2010. It also includes pictures from the Grand Opening on June 5, 2010: http://www.stpfriends.org/Alviso_11-27-10/Sunset.html. Here's information about the 2023 Day on the Bay, sponsored by District 3 Supervisor Otto Lee, who continued the tradition after Dave Cortese termed out as supervisor and was elected to the state senate: https://d3.santaclaracounty.gov/take-action/day-bay-2023.

This is my webpage (now archived) that I made in 1999 for the Bay Trail Project about the Bay Trail in Alviso. It shows what the marina looked like back then: https://web.archive.org/web/20110518210250/http://www.abag.ca.gov/bayarea/baytrail/vtour/map3/access/BTAlviso/Btalviso1.htm
