Board of Supervisors Approves Expanded Sanborn Park
Sanborn expansion The Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors approved the purchase of a plot of land in unincorporated Saratoga that would expand Sanborn County Park. The acquisition of the 103-acre property off Congress Springs Road will allow for the creation of a new publicly accessible trail that will lead to a historic area of the park, according to a March 11 press release from Santa Clara County Supervisor Joe Simitian's office. “This is an exciting opportunity to expand a beloved park,” Simitian said. “Not only will we be preserving open space, but folks will have a new opportunity to access a piece of our county’s history as well as enjoy the outdoors.” The action also comes after the board of supervisors voted in late January to restrict parking on Black Road near the entrance to the John Nicholas Trailhead at Sanborn County Park to improve traffic congestion. Sanborn County Park, which is open to the public for camping, hiking and picnicking, is located just north of Skyline Boulevard. Local Coca-Cola scholar Saratoga High School senior Zeyneb Kaya was named a national 2024 Coca-Cola scholar, according to a press release from the Los Gatos-Saratoga Union High School District.

Selected from over 100,000 other applicants, Kaya will join the cohort of 150 Coca-Cola scholars across the country this year who have been recognized and awarded thousands of dollars in scholarship money. Senior Brad Ma was also selected as a finalist for the competition this year. Kaya was previously named a 2024 Regeneron Science Talent Scholar for an algorithm she designed that sought to improve language processing models for artificial intelligence that could aid in the preservation of endangered languages.
