San Mateo County

One step closer to revitalizing Flood Park

The Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors approved an agreement with the County of San Mateo to move forward with the Realize Flood Park project as part of the Stanford recreational grant program. Flood Park is an 86-year-old park in Menlo Park and one of seven projects that was designated for funding by Santa Clara County’s Stanford Mitigation Fund (SMF) in 2020. The SMF is restricted to projects that aim to mitigate the loss of recreational facilities for campus residents and facility users due to development on the Stanford University campus resulting from approval of the 2000 Stanford General Use Permit.
