It is impossible to imagine San Jose without the beauty of its large and varied park network, or the tremendous human benefits of its recreational opportunities and programs. But did you know that the city’s park and recreation system also provides measurable economic benefits? Parks and trails support local jobs, boost spending at local businesses and create local tax revenue. Join The Trust for Public Land as they share the results of their recent research.
