C'est plutôt jolie pour des collines qui sont en fait des montages de déchets:
But in order to build such a park, the land needed to be made safe from tidal flow and flooding. It would have been too costly to just truck in the dirt to raise the land, so the city made a deal with San Francisco. For 13 years, starting in 1968, 500 acres of land were used as landfill. The city charged San Francisco for the right to dump garbage in Mountain View, and saved the money for a construction of a park on top of the landfill. In the 1980s, Mountain View began the process of closing the dumps and began to turn the area into Shoreline Park.
[...]
More recently, the park has been expanded to include the landfill's two tallest points, Vista Slope and Crittenden Slope. At the top of these man-made hills, hikers can get a great view of Mountain View and the mountain ranges for which the city is named.
