The City of East Palo Alto and the Midpen will soon celebrate the opening of the new Education Center at Cooley Landing Park by Ravenswood Open Space Preserve. East Palo Alto’s gorgeous new 3,000-square foot Education Center was built with the purpose of providing an education facility on the bay.

The Center was built with funding from a Prop 84 grant that the City was awarded in 2011.
