I was invited to this park for a puppy playdate. The park is nice, but even at 7 PM it was quite…read morecrowded. I wasn't able to scope out the entire park, but the park does have a few tennis courts (I believe 3 or 4). The tennis courts looked very well maintained and clean. There were a handful of people waiting to play. That should give you an idea of how busy this place can get. If you do not like off-leash dogs running around, this isn't the park for you. We met with a Mountain View local and he suggested the park is perfect. One side of the park was overly full with dogs running in all directions. We decided to go to the other side of the tennis courts to let our puppies play. The grass is very green and the park overall is really clean. For being dog friendly, I'm surprised there were no potty bags on site. So, if you plan on bringing your dog here, be sure to bring supplies to clean after your dogs. **This is not a fenced in dog park. So if you expect your dog to be off-leash, practice recall before you head over.

Even on a hot day, you can still keep cool with the plenty of shaded areas that are available. This park is also dog friendly and I saw a big grassy field where I think you can let the pooches run free. There are rattlesnakes that are present on the grounds though; there are signs warning to keep away from shaded areas on a hot day as that's where the snakes like to hang out. We saw maintenance crew coming through to change out the trash bags. The bathrooms could have been better maintained though - one of the stalls was out of soap for the entire few hours we were there.

Our oldest got bored pretty fast and wanted to leave after 10-15 minutes on the playset. This park is best for local residents as a nice place to walk to and get some fast exercise or get the kids outdoors time, I would not recommend driving here just to visit the park. There are also a couple of large redwoods in the park but this neighborhood has a lot of them throughout the area so they aren't too unique.

Fun spot to come for a hike if you want to see some horses and experience a variety of scenery…read more You start in a pretty big open hilly field, this area is mostly brush, though there is a clear trail. There's a tree at the top of the hill, though no shade other than that. This is the area where we saw the horses. We tried following along with All Trails, but the route on there did a lot of figure 8's and was hard to really comprehend. Luckily with the guidance from other hikers we were able to extend our hike out of this immediate area and make it back to the car. The trail continues out of this fenced in area with multiple different ways to go. There is some signage, though it's rather old and you can tell that some of the directional signs have fallen off. We headed down the hill, out of the gate, next to a house with a vineyard, then down into a tree covered path that went next to the mostly dried up creek. This area was nice and shaded, a little steep in some areas, but not too bad. I liked that you had a number of different routes you could take to make this hike longer or shorter depending on your adventure, but more and better signage would be a welcome addition. We parked at the trail head, it was a pretty big lot with a lot of spots. By the time we got back, it was pretty packed, but there was another area before you enter with some extra parking if this area is full. We were pretty surprised to see so many cars, as the trail didn't feel crowded and we often went long stretches without seeing anyone.

If you park in the parking lot on Altamont, you see rolling hills and pasture. Once you walk into the preserve it becomes more of a wooded and shaded area. The paths are well worn and well marked. Please be careful when it rains. The path looks like mostly clay and is really slippery. Look out for horses because it's a horse path. Dogs need to be on leashes for this park.

This review will focus on the off-leash dog park…read more First, overview: nice park. Big green, grassy area fenced on most sides. Some trees along the edges. A swimming pool that looks mighty inviting. Small children's playground and bathrooms. Has a somewhat old fashioned feel, but in a good way. Feels like you could picnic, play badminton, read a book, or just sunbathe in peace. My favorite dog park in the area so far is located here. The off-lease area is grassy and there are trees that can provide substantial shade. There is a fence, though there are no gates, just decorative arches, between the park and the street. Lots a space for dogs to run, sniff, and enjoy. Not sure if there are cleanup stations, I have brought my own bags so far. Also, good place if you play Ingress.
