Later this month, Director of Santa Clara County Parks, Don Rocha, will be retiring after 36 years of public service with the Department. Last night, Director Rocha was honored at the County of Santa Clara Board of Supervisor's meeting for his legacy of service with a commendation. Director Rocha began his journey in public service as a seasonal park ranger. After serving in multiple positions in park ranger operations, natural resource management, and more, he was appointed as director in 2018. The Department sincerely thanks Director Rocha for his service. Although we will miss him, we will continue to honor his legacy of service and the Department's mission to provide, protect, and preserve regional parklands for the enjoyment, education, and inspiration of this and future generations.
