History

  • Ramos Park opened in 1958 as part of a plan to develop more recreational space south of Oregon. It is named after Don Jesus Ramos, a native of Mexico who came to California in search of gold. He arrived in the Mayfield area in 1851 and in 1883 bought a couple of  acres of land and built a house at 727 Page Mill Road. Here he lived with his family until his death in 1912. The park was first named Meadow Park after the tract of land that it was part of.
