The short trail in the park continues to surprise me! Every visit is so different. I decided to go…read moreon a weekday morning and experienced a very relaxing walk with good views.

One side of the trail has plenty of trees, while the other side is more exposed to the sun. It wasn't overly crowded, even on a weekend. I suspect that's because parking costs $6 and there is no street parking available. Unlike many parks where you can park nearby and walk in for free. I visited on a summer day when temperatures were around 90°F. It was quite hot, with little to no breeze. We stayed until sunset, the lake reflected the evening colors, it's beautiful.

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.

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 new dog park is listed as "Piedmont Road dog park" under Google maps since it is technically…read moreon Piedmont Road but also connected to Penitencia Park. The park is divided in two: big dog and small dogs. Its mostly just dry dirt with some tanbark along the edges. No poop bags are provided however, there is a spot for some tennis balls and a water fountain along with a big bowl. Theres 4 benches mostly parked under the shade of big trees so you can expect a bit of seating. Parking right next to the dog park is pretty limited as it's mostly just street parking along Piedmont Road. No food or drinks are allowed and people, for the most part, follow the rules. Sometimes people bring their medium/large dogs into the small dog park so do keep an eye on your dog. The park is pretty well kept and clean throughout despite no bags being provided. Most of the people who frequent this park seem very kind and warm. If you have a social pup, I would come here and check it out.

This is a very new dog park! It officially opened around summer of 2024. I heard the residents of…read morethis area are very happy about it since the next closest dog park was in Santa Clara? I briefly visited from out of town for a breed specific meet up so my experience is not that of a regular. Pros include the spaciousness, real grass, bench seating, mature trees providing shade, trash bins inside the park area including poop scoopers, and a water fountain/bowl. When I went the water fountain wasn't working. I did some research beforehand. (Google Maps calls this the Piedmont Road Dog Park. I don't know if that's the official name.) They don't have poop bags either. I think these drawbacks will likely be remedied in the future. I've seen at other dog parks the community members step up and install back up poop bags or bring in stainless steel troughs for the water. In the meantime, bring your own bags and water! The one thing I really did not like was the parking situation. Piedmont seems very busy. There isn't a parking lot to pull into. I drove past the park initially. It's street parking on Piedmont with some areas of the curb being red or green. The solution would be for someone to park in a lot inside the park (another entrance) and to walk to the dog parks. There's also a shopping plaza across the street and residential streets nearby if you don't mind crossing the street. The real grass and mature trees/shade are really rare for a dog park! I could see this place being five stars for someone that lives in the area and is more experienced with the parking situation than me.

This park has a nice softball field, infield is dirt and outfield is grass with a fencing that goes around the outfield.

We ended up having plenty of pickleball fun. All of the sports facilities in this park are lit at night (baseball field, basketball courts, pickleball and tennis courts). A small parking lot, public restroom, tiny picnic area, and little playground are also available. There are no other features that stand out to me, but if looking to play some sports, even after dark, this park is accommodating and feels safe.

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.

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.

The best doggie park ever!!! I found this park on a whim and decided to stop by with my girls. I…read morewas a little nervous initially, I wont lie. I've tried doggie parks where they were filthy with poo, irresponsible owners, and aggressive dogs. This park exceeded my expectations. The small dog area was separated from the large dog area, and it was secure. It was extremely clean as well! No dog poop!! The doggie owners were also very responsible, which was such a tremendous relief! Everyone stood around observing all of the play time, and ensured that things didn't get too out of hand. Another relief is that none of the dogs were aggressive. And yes, there are some small dogs that have aggressive behavior. Not the case here. All of the pups got along so well! In all, this is an amazing dog park and I plan to bring my girls here on a regular basis.

A few days ago, my dog was attacked and bitten by a massive dog whose owner completely lacked the…read morephysical strength or control to handle it. The owner brought the same exact dog back to the park today unmuzzled, and it aggressively went after and bit my dog multiple times. What frustrates me the most is the complete lack of preventive action. If a dog has a proven history of biting other animals, letting it roam a public off-leash area without a muzzle is completely reckless. The owner didn't take any steps to prevent a repeat incident after the first attack, putting every other dog and person in that yard at risk. If you see two St.Bernards whose owner can't manage it, do yourself a favor and turn right back around.

The splash pads are definitely a highlight during the summer and are a great way for kids to cool off while having fun. I also appreciated that there are shaded areas around the playground. While the shade doesn't cover every part of the park, it does provide some relief from the sun, which is especially helpful on warm days. The only downside is that when the weather gets extremely hot, it can be difficult to enjoy the areas that aren't shaded.

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.

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 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.

There's also a few pieces of agility equipment for the dogs to play with. The grass was a little sparse, probably due to the heat. I assume it will grow back during the winter.
