Martial Cottle park is the Santa Clara County Parks and Recreation
Department’s newest urban park. Every year the park will come alive in
the spring and summer with the vibrant colors of wild flowers and the
sweet flavors of fresh fruits and vegetables. All of this comes with an
emphasis on organic farming incorporating the latest in water
conservation techniques and ongoing community education. The annual harvest festival featured arts, crafts, music and organic farming demonstrations. It was an ideal panorama for our plein-air artists.
