What's Inside Get Involved

Revitalize Memorial Park

The City of Cupertino is revitalizing Memorial Park and needs your feedback! After hearing from the community in the fall, we have created three park concepts that blend important aspects of the park's identity as a civic event space, community gathering space, and natural site and park. Now, we want to hear your thoughts about each concept to help shape the Memorial Park experience for the future.

Engagement Opportunities:

• Community Survey – January 25 to February 22

• Open House at the Cupertino Senior Center – Saturday, February 4 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

• Community Webinar – Thursday, February 9 at 7 p.m.
