Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District
About
The Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District (Midpen) is an independent special district in the San Francisco Bay Area. Formed in 1972 by voter initiative Measure R, it has acquired, preserved and restored a regional green belt of open space land and provides opportunities for ecologically-sensitive public enjoyment and education.
The district, which includes parts of Santa Clara, San Mateo and Santa Cruz counties, works to form a continuous green belt of permanently preserved open space by linking its lands with other public park lands. A member of the Bay Area Open Space Council, the district also participates in cooperative efforts such as the San Francisco Bay Trail, Bay Area Ridge Trail, and Skyline-to-the-Sea Trail, which are regional trail systems in the Bay Area that include district lands.
