 The Bay-to-Ridge Trail, which when complete will link the Palo Alto Baylands Nature Preserve to the Bay Area Ridge Trail, runs through the park connecting Arastradero Preserve and Los Trancos Open Space.Non-Palo Alto residents can use this trail even though it is within the park.Most of the land for the park was bought from Russel V. Lee, a founder of the Palo Alto Medical Clinic, who offered, in 1958, 1,294 acres of his land at $1,000 an acre ($1.3 million total) to the city to preserve as open space.
