The Los Altos Civic Center Heritage Apricot Orchard Park has been the iconic heart of our community since Los Altos was incorporated in 1952.
This scenic and community treasure is more than a century old and purchased by the City nearly 62 years ago. And has been registered in the Santa Clara County inventory of Historical landmarks since 1962. This year--2016 marks this heritage orchard's 35th anniversary as a City Historic Landmark. Today this irreplaceable icon of our city's past, present and future continues to be threatened by planning and development discussions across the civic center site. You can make a difference!
