Santa Clara is a city in California's Silicon Valley with many tech companies headquartered here.  The City is home to Santa Clara University and other outstanding schools, the nationally recognized 100-acre California’s Great America Theme Park, the George F. Haines International Swim Center, Triton Museum of Art, and the 49ers Football Training Center and their new home Levi's Stadium.  With over 19 square miles of tree-lined neighborhoods, bustling shopping centers and thriving businesses, it is where you can find your mission. The City of Santa Clara is a “full service” city – one of only a few communities in the Bay Area that has its own police, fire, library, recreation, and electric, water, and sewer utilities, as well as all of the other departments and civic amenities expected in a thriving community.  The City’s amenities include an award-winning Convention Center, Community Recreation Center, International Swim Center, Youth Activity Center, Senior Center, medical facilities and an abundance of retail shopping, restaurants along with dozens of parks, playgrounds, special use facilities (like a Skate Park and Youth Soccer Park), the championship Santa Clara Golf & Tennis Club, a 40 acre open space preserve, the San Tomas Aquino/Saratoga Creek Trail.
