Visitors to the Penitencia Creek Trail can view the water-filled Dr. Robert W. Gross Recharge Ponds. These ponds, part of a system designed to recharge underground aquifers, are crucial for maintaining healthy groundwater levels that supply nearly half of Santa Clara County's water. While the ponds support wildlife, their primary purpose is water filtration, and visitors are reminded not to introduce fish or animals into the ponds.
