Located as it is in the heart of Silicon Valley, Mountain View is a center of high-tech industry.

In addition to being a sanctuary for wildlife and more than 150 species of birds (including many migratory birds that pass through from October through February on their way south), the park offers 7 miles of jogging, hiking and bicycling trails, a saltwater lake for windsurfing and sailing, level expanses for kite flying and an 18-hole golf course.
