The City anticipates construction to begin on June 23, 2022 and will be completed in October. Work will be coordinated through the scheduled festivals and events at the park to minimize disruption.

The Memorial Park Ponds project will temporarily relocate the concrete pagoda statue located in the central pond.  The statue was gifted to the City of Cupertino by Toyokawa in Japan in 1988 to commemorate the 10^th anniversary of the Sister City relationship. Engraved on the side of the statue is a message that states:  “City of Cupertino - City of Toyokawa | Commemorating the 10 year anniversary of sister city relations |Presented in 1988 from the City of Toyokawa”

The statue will be reinstalled in Memorial Park in a location determined by the Memorial Park Specific Plan project.

New plants have been put in. Please remain on the pathways to allow for the planting to establish.
