PARK HISTORY

This park was named for the third generation of the Wente Family to run the Wente Bros. Winery on Tesla Road. Karl Wente was the first Zone 7 Water Conservation District Board Chairman, a member of the original Valley Memorial Hospital Board of Directors, and had been Chairman of the State Colleges and Universities board of trustees.

He served on the board of the California Wine Institute, California State Automobile Association, California Water Service Co., Bank of America and Pacific Gas and Electric Co. Karl was a grandson of winery founder Herman Wente and the son of Ernest Wente.

This 3.1-acre neighborhood park includes a playground and family picnic area. The playground was renovated in 2009.
