As part of the City of San Jose’s Budget Reduction Plan four of the City of San Jose’s regional parks, Alum Rock Park, Almaden Lake Park, Overfelt Gardens, and Prusch Farm Park, will close on Mondays beginning November 30, 2009. On park closure days, visitors, joggers and picnickers will be unable to enter the selected sites and Los Alamitos trail users will be advised of an alternative route. Any affected park classes, tours, activities and events will be rescheduled. If rescheduling is not possible, the parties will be accommodated. Facilities will still be available for rent (i.e. corporate events, weddings) on Mondays. Park rangers will patrol to enforce the park closures and maintain security. The Guadalupe River Park, Kelley Park and Lake Cunningham Park are not affected by this action. For more information on the closures please contact art.rosales@sanjoseca.gov.

The San Jose’s Police Department (SJPD) Financial Crimes Division would like you to know these letters, emails and the checks included are a fraud. If you have received a letter or email of this type please destroy it and/or delete it from your computer. We also ask friends, relatives and care-givers to please alert senior citizens to this scheme.
