About Martial Cottle Park State Recreation Area

This urban park celebrates our shared agricultural past and highlights innovations in modern organic, sustainable, and urban farming practices. Throughout the park’s 287 acres, visitors can enjoy aspects of a traditional urban park, such as trails, green space, and picnic areas, and learn the Cottle family’s story and how agriculture remains an integral part of this historic ranch. All of this comes with an emphasis on organic farming, incorporating the latest water conservation techniques and ongoing community education.
