Welcome New Residents
Welcome to Gilroy! We are so glad you have chosen Gilroy as your new home and hope that you find it easy to become part of our warm community.
Gilroy offers a number of programs and services designed to enrich the quality of life for residents. Throughout this website are links to resources and information for all city departments, city governance, and city engagement. We hope you take advantage of our outstanding parks, trails for walking, 48 miles of bike lanes, and 5.9 miles of paved pathways also conducive to strollers, wagons, and wheelchairs. The Gilroy Welcome Center is an excellent resource for dining, shopping, family fun, and other activities in and near Gilroy, including our local wine trail and taco trail.
To stay current on City news and events, be sure to sign up for our Email Express, a weekly newsletter that serves to keep our residents “In the know.”
Once again, welcome to Gilroy! May your living experience be more than you hoped it would be.
