Palo Alto Battlefield is a relatively new park with a small staff and limited visitor activities opportunities at this time. Nevertheless, the park is entering a period of rapid development and change. Park activities and opportunities will increase dramatically during the coming months and years. This is an opportunity to watch a National Park Service unit take shape. The park encourages visitors to stop by the visitor center, ask questions, and participate in the development of this nationally important site.
