The article, linked article, photos of the park entrance, details from the lawsuit, and Palo Alto Municipal Code all indicate otherwise.
But really that last one is the only one you need to check:
"Only residents of the city and regular or part-time city employees, members of their households related by blood, marriage, or adoption, or their accompanied guests are entitled to enter on foot or by bicycle or vehicle and remain in Foothills Park." - https://codelibrary.amlegal.com/codes/paloalto/latest/paloalto_ca/0-0-0-20448 https://codelibrary.amlegal.com/codes/paloalto/latest/paloal...
- bhickey 6y agoSince 2007 hikers from abutting lands, like Los Trancos, have been allowed to enter the park. I don't know if the council ever codified this. When my friend Corey was on the council he tried to open access to non-residents, but there wasn't support for it.
- ebg13 6y ago> I don't know if the council ever codified this. I mean...clearly they did not per the wording of Palo Alto Municipal Code. That basically means that they've just chosen to only station enforcers at the entrance, not that it's allowed. The code says that PA police can charge you with a misdemeanor just for being inside the bounds of the park.
