Memorial Cross Park
Martin Avenue & De La Cruz Boulevard Map It

This is the site of the second mission (1779-1784), established in the City of Santa Clara by the Franciscan Padres. The Santa Clara Lions Club donated a large granite cross for this park as a historical marker, and the area is landscaped with emphasis on early mission day horticulture. Sitting areas can be found in this half acre park, making it an excellent place for industry workers to eat lunch and relax.
