    Cute little park in Santa Clara. In my search of St. Claire statue is how I arrived here. It is a pity that there is no water due to the droughts and that takes out some of the beauty of the place. I liked the monument to the saint that gives name to this town and was surprised to see it was shipped from Italy int he '60s and the sculptor was a woman (yay, they exist!). There were some people enjoying the shadow offered by those robust trees and there are several tables as well. It is a very relaxing place to go and read a book.

    This is our park! I wouldn't say it's our favorite; however it's within walking distance, simple, and provides an opportunity for us to relax or meditate. I like parks, and I think they're great addition to the neighborhood in so many ways. This park is one the best places for me to unwind after a long day at work, or just simply get some fresh air and spend time with loved ones. Civic Center Park is relatively small, and it has the basics of an ideal park like trees, walkways, grass, and benches. This park has some extra features too, like fountains and a statue of Santa Clara, the patron saint. I like that I reside in this city with the statue representing the name of the city. Few things that I observed at this park: the grass is super green, thus, you can tell it's pretty well-maintained. I think all parks need eyes on it to be safe and clean. I like that the benches are located under a big tree where I can get some shade especially on a sunny, hot day. Bear in mind this park is not a big one, so it doesn't have a playground, bathroom, or any place for sports. Even so, it's a wonderful and peaceful place for me to just pick a spot under a tree and start reading since summer is just around the corner. Have you picked out a good book yet? I know I have! :D I thank the neighborhood staff for keeping this park clean and a safe environment for everybody, and for the animals too. I see pigeons, squirrels, and ducks here. The ducks, of course, are pretty much regulars because they enjoy swimming in the fountain pools. Altogether, everyone should visit their local park. It's free admission, no need to pay. It's good for you, your kids, and your pets, too! Everybody benefits from it!

    Props to the county and the city for how they budget the finances in creating such a spectacular…read morepark. Not residing in this county and visiting this park for the first time, I was blown away. I am sort of kind of okay totally envious and jealous. :) OVERALL: Very, very, very well kept and very, very, very clean. Nothing was or seemed broken down. Saw many people walk and play in the playground but not many people picnic/sunbathe. VARIETY: If you love water, there's a walk path for you. If you love redwoods, there's a walk path for you. If you love sunshine, there's a walk path for you. If you love bridges, there's a walk path for you. If you love pavilions, lights, nature, there's a place for you. If you love playgrounds, there's different ones for you to pick from and a super modern clean one too! PLAYGROUNDS: Wow. The equipment utilized is high end. The options is numerous of what one wants to do. The 3 hammocks are fantastic...this modern playground is gated with one entrance/exit door. Questionable individual sitting at the entrance with a table of "free gift," attempting you to entice you to join their program. Restrooms available. Simple parking with multiple spaces for you to pick from. Very ground level flat cement guided trails.

    Love this park! Parking maybe challenged at the time as they are having some upgrades for the next…read moreyear. But love the water, walks, and a gym .

    Honestly? Alviso Marina County Park isn't really bad after all. The first time I went was a few…read moreyears ago when I visited after a rainy day and that the trails are very muddy. Rarely any people came here. However from this visit, I came in the right time. It was sunny during the day and many people came here for a reason. Keep in mind that it's not a regional park but rather a wetland. When you look at the water, it's colored slightly red from its edges. Also, the trails are light since there is no elevation here. It's really good for jogging and biking. I've seen people do that here. The trails are very long which is why I selected a stop so I can turn back to where I started. Ideally, you want to come here in earlier in the morning so that you can hike longer and end sometime in the early afternoon. It was hot outside and I prefer not to hike longer. Basically, I powered walk from halfway. It's not necessary to bring hiking shoes due to light trails but you should use them if it's muddy. Perhaps, I should come here way earlier so that I can maybe hike longer.

    Mostly dog friendly location in Santa Clara. There are a few decks that dogs are not allowed but…read moreit's like 1% of the whole thing. The views are jaw dropping! You can see the mountains in the background. Very clean and well maintained. I love seeing the wildlife. I've seen so many different bird species, plants species and I've even seen a seal once. Super special place indeed.

    Wow wow wow, new park in Santa Clara. Last retouches on the final phase but I could not resist to…read morebe the first one to talk about this fresh minted Meadow Park! You can smell the freshly cut wood as many of the benches throughout the park are cut directly from a tree, which looks so pretty and blending with the landscape. There is plenty of grass and posh playground areas for children, separated in various ages. The park seems designed mostly to cater the families that live in the adjacent high end apartment complexes, very close to famous companies. There are also several picnic tables and even chaise lounges and colorful chairs and various scenes, so not a monotone park. Definitively I will be visiting often. They have built this mini city inside Santa Clara in just a couple of years...nothing ago the Whole Foods was opened and all the nice restaurants and businesses nearby and the list is growing. So sometimes you don't know if you are at some company campus, the patio extension of one of those apartment complexes, the shopping center or the park itself. Hopefully this is kept in great condition and people don't destroy this beautiful park as i have seen happening to some newly built parks, unfortunately. Very pretty area also very close to the walking area that goes by the Guadalupe river and that many employees from the nearby companies use for relaxing and exercising during lunch time.

    Great park to touch some grass and sunbathe!…read more I always see folks walking their doggies here and it's so nice. Theres also a mini-playground for kids. Overall, spacious and chill spot.
