LOOKING BACK : PHOTOS FROM THE ARCHIVE
This photo comes from our clipping fi les and appeared in the February 20 , 1970 , edition of the San Jose Mercury News . The accompanying caption stated :
Horseback Guess — Mayor William Jelavich of Mountain View ( left ) and his recreation director , Don Gale , saddled up Thursday and led an entourage of City Councilmen and of�icials on an inspection tour of the proposed Stevens Creek “ do-it-yourself ” park chain . The councilmen will authorize tree planting by service clubs and Gale estimated improvements would begin next month .
Mountain View ’ s efforts were labeled “ do-it-yourself ” after County of�icials abandoned plans to build a County Park along the entire course of Stevens Creek , from bay to mountains . Land purchased by the County for the park chain along the route of the Stevens Creek Freeway ( Highway 85 ) was sold to the City in 1967 , and City leaders began encouraging local civic groups to plant trees along the creek . Learn more about the history of Stevens Creek at our February 20 webinar !
