*New Outdoor Fitness Area Now Open*





Cuesta Fitness Area




A new outdoor fitness area amenity is now open to the public at Cuesta Park!

This project was a joint venture with El Camino Hospital. Due to the park's proximity to the hospital, the community, hospital patrons and staff now have access to outdoor fitness equipment. The 2,000-square-foot area includes 10 pieces of equipment that can accommodate up to 38 people at a time.

As part of the project funding, City staff applied for and was awarded $20,000 from the California Park & Recreation Society 75th Anniversary Fitness Grant. El Camino Hospital provided an additional $150,000 toward the project.

This effort supports City Council’s ‘Livability & Quality of Life’ strategic priority, which includes providing and enhancing parks, open space and other key amenities.

New this year, the City is piloting an online map that allows participants to filter garage sales by dates open and items listed, as well as other enhanced features to help attendees plan which homes to visit for the event.

Residents can register their homes for the sale at Mountain View Citywide Garage Sale [ https://www.mountainview.gov/our-city/departments/public-works/recycling-zero-waste/events/citywide-garage-sale ].
