Ulistac contains the last 40 acres of natural, undeveloped land in the city
along the Guadalupe River, a major migratory flyway for birds. Ulistac Natural Area
is the only dedicated natural open space in the City of Santa Clara.
People from all over the region come to enjoy the diverse California native plant
habitats and the ecosystems they support while walking, jogging, taking photographs,
bicycling, bird watching, and just finding a serene respite from their busy lives.
The last 40 acres of open space in the City of Santa Clara was preserved on January 20, 1997
and designated as the Ulistac Natural Area (UNA). Originally inhabited by the Ohlone Indians,
then the Spanish missionaries, and later used as a pear orchard, a golf course, and finally a natural area,
Ulistac has been through it all.
