Mayor Tran, Vice Mayor Grilli, and Council Members GREAT NEWS FOR CITY OF MILPITAS COMMUNITY! Santa Clara County Playgrounds Grant Award: On August 14’s Board of Supervisors Meeting, the City of Milpitas and MUSD joint All Inclusive Playground Grant proposal funding was approved for $779,820! The grant funding will be utilized to create two connected state-of-the-art playground areas designed for all accessible play on the new McCandless Park and Mabel Mattos Elementary School sites. This year-long grant application process included critical community-wide contributions including a City-led special needs programming focus group, a community-based survey on accessible play importance, and heartfelt letters of support from Milpitas families advocating for the two all-inclusive playgrounds that aim to serve people of all ages and all abilities. The Recreation and Community Services Department will be working with the County of Santa Clara on the grant terms and contracts, and will come for City Council approval on the acceptance of the grant in early Fall.
