A portion of Jenny Strand Park is temporarily closed due to the discovery of pellets suspected of being rodent poison. On May 11, a resident alerted the City to the substance and reported that their dog ingested some of the pellets. The dog was sickened but is in stable condition.
Parks staff immediately responded, removed visible material, and conducted a thorough inspection of the site. Approximately 5,000 sq. ft. of the park is closed while cleanup, inspection, and investigation efforts continue. Residents are asked to avoid the closed area and comply with posted notices.
The incident has been reported to the Santa Clara Police Department. Please contact the City of Santa Clara Police Department at 408-615-5580 if you have information about this incident or have observed suspicious activity in Jenny Stand Park.
