So many people are using the newly opened Regnart Trail for enjoyable walks and bike rides. Did you know that it is also a great connector to our neighborhood schools and free places for fun? We’ll show you–with maps–the best way to get to local schools and some of these great places using only the trail and small residential streets.

Eaton
Eaton Elementary is very close to the western-most trailhead of the Regnart Creek Trail. The map below shows how to get to Eaton from your neighborhood while avoiding busy streets such as Blaney Ave. This summer, there will also be a new gate added from the trail to the library, allowing students coming from Eaton after school to go directly from the trail into the parking lot close to the library entrance.
Cupertino High School
Cupertino High is 800 feet from the Creekside Park trail, which connects to the Regnart Creek Trail. The map below shows how to get to Cupertino High from your neighborhood while avoiding busy streets such as Blaney Ave. Based on city Transportation Department counts, about 100 students bike this pathway every day, and many more walk.
Lawson Middle School
Lawson Middle School is a few blocks away from the trail, but the trail is a convenient way for your child to bike to school from many of the neighborhoods in Lawson’s enrollment area to the south. It’s recommended that cyclists cross Stevens Creek at Torre, where there is a crossing guard.
Faria Elementary
Even if your student attends a ‘lottery’ school, you can still walk or bike to get there. Faria is only a few blocks away from the Regnart Creek Trail trailhead on Rodrigues. Student attending Faria from many neighborhoods can use the Regnart Trail to arrive at school ready to learn.
