When Portola Valley was incorporated in 1964, one of the goals of the Town was to create the spirit of community and to build camaraderie among the residents. The
volunteer committees which were created out of this vision now sponsor numerous events and programs, including hikes, picnics, music recitals, art exhibits, speakers' evenings, book signings and theater performances. In addition,
classes and athletic events are happening almost year round at Town Center and in our
parks and recreational facilities.
