SAVE THE DATES - there are two upcoming public meetings of the Ad Hoc Committee-Bear Creek Stables Working Groups - September 12/24 and September 26/24 at 6pm. Attend in person at the District Administration Offices at 5050 El Camino Real, Los Altos, CA or via Zoom.
On May 14, 2024, the Mid Peninsula Regional Open Space District (Midpen) Board of Directors and Midpen project staff held a public meeting with updates on the Bear Creek Stables Capital Maintenance and Repair Project and escalating project costs. The alternatives presented ranged from reducing the scope of improvements, the availability of horse boarding and/or public programs, through to closing the Stables. The outcome that evening was the formation of an Ad Hoc Committee headed by Midpen Directors Holman, Riffle and Gleason, and in the following weeks, three Working Groups were formed to address key issues.
The Working Groups are comprised of members of the public, volunteering their time and expertise in the areas of Operations and Programming, Funding and Partnerships and Site Design, Architecture and Engineering. The Working Groups have been meeting 1-2 times per week since late June. They present updates at the Ad Hoc Committee Board Meetings - these are public meetings at the Midpen District offices in Palo Alto, or via Zoom or telephone, the meeting schedule can be found at
