The trail on the border was not the sturdiest path, with large rocks protruding from the dirt and warning signs posted to "enter at your own risk". But I was still able to get a good run in while exploring the park, extending to the neighborhood since, again, the park is small. There were several porta potties on site, as well as a parking lot for convenience. Such a carefree and relaxing atmosphere, with the adorable shops and eateries of Big Basin Way just around the corner.

I drove 45 minutes to Hakone Gardens recently at the end of March and found out that most of the cherry blossoms were gone. I was like whaaaa....I usually go during the end of March and they would be in full bloom. Apparently, they bloomed earlier this year. I was looking forward to seeing the wonderful pink color all around. Anyways, Hakone is still a treat to walk around and is very nice when the flowers are blooming. I love sitting near the beginning of the trail and looking at the ponds, bridge, koi fish and all the trees. It transports me to Japan without the airfare and passport. Parking can be difficult on busy days and will be waiting for awhile for someone to leave. Gift shop is cute and there are many cute finds in there. Admission is now $12 but parking is still free.

This is such a tranquil and beautiful spot in Saratoga. My friend and I came here over the weekend,…read moreand we spent about an hour walking around the estate and gardens. My favorite part was definitely the koi pond! They have quite a few fish, and it was relaxing just to watch them swim around. I also enjoyed walking on the trails while being surrounded by bamboo. Each ticket to enter costed about $15 online, and they have a lot where you can park for free. Since the gardens are located on a hill, keep in mind that some of the areas are slightly steep. I wish that the trails around the gardens were a bit longer, as it didn't take us too long to walk through the entire estate. Overall, this is a lovely spot if you want to be surrounded by nature and learn a little bit about Japanese culture.

The grounds at Montalvo are absolutely…read morebeautiful, as are the forested trails that wind up the hill and down the creek near the villa. Though there are a few different trials to choose from, they all end up crossing at one point or another. Even if you do all of them, they aren't too long and the hike tends to be fairly short. The area is pretty hilly, so most trails have a good elevation gain. Aside from the hiking, you can stroll the garden and picnic in the grass in front of the villa. They have some art installations around the grass and in the garden that are fun to look at. They also have concerts here, there is a stage outside, but I've only ever seen one inside the concert hall. They're usually smaller names and smaller shows.

First hike of 2025 was here, and I'm really glad that I was able to come here. Big shoutout goes to…read morethe City of Saratoga and Public Works for keeping these trails open even on official holidays like today, on New Year's Day. There are endless amounts of trails that you can look towards -- some roll around in a circle, and some lead all the way to Sanborn County Park. While many people say these trails go nowhere, they do lead to the opening of trails that lead into the Santa Cruz Mountains. The only improvement that I would give to this park is the narrowness of some of the trails that we had to encounter -- and while there were spectacular views of the South Bay, what was lackluster and disappointing was the fact that there were barely any labels that were telling us where we were going. The bridges were a very good view of how close or how far we were from the very beginning of the entrance of the park, however, so that was a very good sign. If you're looking for a park that challenges you as much as going to Almaden Quicksilver Park, but without driving so far, then the Saratoga Quarry Park is just for you. I'll definitely be back to challenge myself to climb these hiking paths more.

The pickleball courts are right next to the bbq's and tables and that's all you will hear. The noise pads that were suppose to dampen the sound actually made the court louder and bolder. The sound is not covered on top only on the sides and have been poorly installed. The residents that live near the court are pissed because all you can hear is the pickleball noise inside their homes. You can't go outside without having a headache now. Soccer, volleyball, baseball, and other sports do not penetrate into your home! Pickleball does even with all the doors and windows shut in your home. Not enough is being done to litigate sound reduction. There quality of life has juristically changed for many residents and people who come to the park daily. Requesting permanent removal of the Saratoga pickle ball court for everyone's sanity. Thank you for listening.

Recommendation: The park officials would be praised if they organized a separate trail track for humans and bicyclists. It would make both walkers and bicyclists so very happy.
