Such a beautiful park!!…read more I've had Delano Manongs Park bookmarked for quite some time and as time passed, I honestly forgot about this place. With an upcoming play date planned between myself and a gf, I was happy that this particular park was picked for our meet up. First things first, this park is MASSIVE! Delano Manongs Park is broken into 10 parts- YES, I SAID 10!! This includes a small and large dog park, multiple gardens, a fitness station, and a number of play structures to keep all your little munchkins happily occupied. The park is very well kept, the restrooms are very doable, and with its large size, there isn't that congested feeling you get with other locations. On top of the many perks, there is a large field to kick or throw around a few balls. The only flaw- and might I add that it is a big one- is the lack of actual shade. Your relief from the sun's powerful rays is limited to the gazebo where the benches are or using the large flower structures as a shield. 5/5 stars all in all. This is lots of fun for kids of all ages.

Really great dog park -- started coming here after Ed Levin closed at 6pm and it is great…read more The vibes of the owners are good -- dogs be dogs. The park technically closed at 10pm but is opened pretty much 24/7 with the exception of Weds mornings until 3pm. Also there's WiFi and tables here which is really nice. Gripes are the train station near by, can get really loud -- sheer volume of dogs, which is a double edged sword and some owners being on their phone but chill otherwise. It also smells really strongly of pee -- recommend not being on the turf and getting your dog a good wipe down after.

Good dog park in the turf style. Separate areas for large and small dogs, artificial turf instead…read moreof dirt or gravel, decent shade for both morning and afternoon sun. There are benches, clean up stations, a shelter with picnic tables and benches, and water on site. There are also artificial boulders and logs. The shade is vital to me, along with the size. While it is a bit narrow, it is long enough for dog to run full out. I think I would call this second only to Eagle Park, which bigger and has grass. Definitely recommended.

This is a hidden gem of a park in a quiet neighborhood in Milpitas. We were looking for local parks…read morethat were suitable for a toddler play date and decided to check out this place in person. We wanted to find a park that is relatively new/in good condition and not too crowded to let the little ones safely play. I'm honestly surprised that this isn't a more popular place to bring your kids. I suppose a part of it is because it is a neighborhood park without dedicated parking, although there is plenty of street parking. With that being said, the play area is gated so it is safe to let your children roam with supervision, the play structures are all in very good condition and the padded flooring is intact across the park. Very suitable for toddlers and older children, they even have a baby changing station inside of the bathroom, as well as adequate drinking fountains and drinking fountains for dogs. We were there on a Saturday morning, from 9 to 10am and were the only family there the entire time. This is completely different compared to some of the other parks in Sunnyvale or San Jose, where it can become a zoo by that time. We will definitely be setting up future play dates here.

This is a nice little park in milpitas! I was looking for dog parks. Found this place because I…read moredidn't want to go too far or to Ed Levin (i don't like having cellular signal issues lol). Definitely meant for the surrounding neighborhoods. There are multiple entrances but are basically towards the end of each street. It seems dog friendly enough with a dog enclosure and easy to stroll around and walk your dog. There's a nice grassy area in the center and I noticed a few instances of owners playing catch with their dogs off-leash. There are picnic tables by the playground and public bathrooms all in the same area. The only water fountain I found was by the picnic/playground/bathroom area and it had a lower fountain for dogs. **Dog park: The dog area was really small, all dirt with one bench. Big dog and small dog are separated but the size is pretty similar to each other with the big dog having just a LITTLE bit more space. It was empty for me except for 1 dog owner but I wonder if there would be more dogs after-work hours for some socialization :-) you would have to walk a little but further down to the main area for water fountain.

Watson Park offers more than just a dog run. There are a couple parking lots, basketball courts,…read moresoccer/sports field, and a larger grassy field (in the main park) without shade as the trees are mainly located at the border of the park. There's also a sizable playground, a few picnic tables and park benches scattered throughout, a cement walking trail, and at least one restroom. I came by during Viva CalleSJ this past weekend so there were a bunch of porta potties too, as well as food trucks and vendor tents set up. I picnicked under the trees, enjoying some good eats from Shrimp'n Aint Eazy while listening to live music by the San Jose Jazz Collective on a breezy Sunday afternoon. Nothing really notable about the scenery here, but it's a nice enough park and a lovely setting for events like this.

The grass is never moved ,it's full of foxtails. I realized that the park doesn't provide poopie bags. But people should bring their own. I walked around the perimeter and found stacks of crap. The people here aren't very concerned about other people's dogs. A lady with a aggressive medium size dog left the large side. She thought it was a good idea to come to the small dog side. I guess she thought it would make her dog feel better to bully smaller dogs. The last straw for me. WARNING bringing your dog here is a risky.

Some things we enjoyed along our trail were a herd of cows, various birds you don't see everyday, little lizards, and just overall people watching as families hung out at the picnic area by the lake.

I was surprised by how large the park is--over 1,500 acres of open space, rolling hills, and greenery. Our group had a picnic area near the lake, with restrooms conveniently located nearby. There was plenty of room for everyone, including a large grassy area. Even on a Sunday afternoon around 2:30 p.m., there were only two other large groups in the picnic area. The atmosphere was peaceful and relaxing, a nice change from the busy shopping centers, restaurants, and other crowded places around the Bay Area. Since the park is so large, we didn't have time to explore much beyond the picnic area, but the park also offers hiking, fishing, gliding, paragliding and a dog park. Parking was only $6, and we had no trouble finding a space close to our picnic site. Overall, I found this to be a great spot for family gatherings, picnics, and anyone looking to spend time outdoors.

Sundays starting around 10am there's a Corgi meetup. Most of the owners are nice. There was one day where someone brought out an aggressive dog the owner wasn't correcting, and the other dog owners had no issues telling the guy to remove himself and his dog. I also have a Del Monte Weekly Corgi meetup group on Facebook with a lot more pictures if anyone wants to see pics of Corgi's in various stages of play.

In addition there are exercise stations, a large grassy field, a variety of trees, a tennis court, unique playground structures, swings for various ages (including a tire swing), picnic tables, pergolas, and just a clean and laid-back setting. No restrooms, but ample street parking available all around. FYI, google maps strangely says it closes at 5pm, but it's a public park with open access, and there were plenty of visitors of all ages on a Friday evening in June.

It's those type of equipment that doesn't have any resistance on them when in operation. It just helps the body move around. For the most part, a good portion of the park is under shade, though I wish there was shade for the playground itself. I'm sure during the summer time the playground gets really hot by the touch. There are benches around facing the playground. This park seems clean and well kept. I didn't see any trash or graffiti on the playground. The only issue I have is that there was no bathrooms provided.

Pretty much the park has amenities: basketball court, tennis courts, playgrounds, exercise areas, etc. It's a very place to hangout, exercise, and jog at. It's a very large park though but 70% of the area has basically just grass and trees. It's like a regional park but a lot smaller. Not many people come to this park but you'll see many coming from an area where the playgrounds are at. They should kinda add more sport areas or play places in the park just to maybe fill up some spaces.
