SAN JOSE — City leaders want to transform one of the Bay Area’s largest homeless encampments into a dog park, disc golf course and public garden, but first they have to tackle the daunting task of moving more than 100 unhoused residents out.

The sprawling camp of tents, make-shift dwellings and vehicles on 40 vacant acres near San Jose’s airport must be cleared by June 30, per an order by the Federal Aviation Administration. To prevent unhoused people from coming back once the space is cleared, and open the land up for public use, city staff have proposed a development plan that would include a 5.5-acre dog park, a 15.8-acre area for disc golf, and wildflower meadows that could later be turned into community gardens and urban farms.
