    Nice park located right off the Los Gatos Creek Trail by the Percolation Ponds. Lots of amenities here so let's get to it: -Large parking lot off of Dell Ave that evidently costs $2/hr ($6 all day) to park at. Pay at the pay station to get a receipt. However, I kinda doubt it's enforced but don't listen to me. There is free parking to be had on the surrounding streets fwiw. -Access off Los Gatos Creek Trail -Covered reservable and uncovered non-reservable picnic tables -Off-leash Dog park -RC boat launch (see pic for rules) -Fly-casting pond -Leashed dogs allowed on trail -Fishing allowed in perc ponds -Hours are 8 a.m. - sunset and park is open daily year round -Large grassy area Overall decent park with great amenities. There were a few suspicious characters lurking but it's such a busy place that it's plenty safe.

    If you have a dog or like to fish, this is the park for you. Otherwise, I wouldn't pay to park and walk the trail here. We have a special spot where we park for free and then walk here. I do love the ponds--so many water fowls and birds. It's gorgeous! Los Gatos Creek Trail runs through this park. There is no playground here. There are restrooms though. The dog park area looks well taken care of and besides having to pay for parking, it's free and you don't have to register. If there's nobody at the gate, there is a pay station for parking. It's right by the gate.

    By far the superior dog park in the South Bay! It's always clean & the water supply for the doggos is like that of a water fountain. The folks that come are usually pretty open. (I have a bigger breed doggo.) They also separate the small dogs & large dogs. There are separate sections.

    This is a beautiful park! The lake is so serene and I love the sound of flowing water in the stream that goes along the trail. Makes for great photo opps too.

    At this time, the park was open on Sunday and they weren't charging parking fee. It was very sunny and there obviously won't be a lot of shade in the park itself. It was an open ground where some people were flying kites whereas others were watching ducks and lake. Parking spots are a lot, so you should be able to find one. It's adjacent to the Los Gatos Creek Trail where you can see many people biking, walking or running.

    Good place for the family with kids.

    This is one of my favorite places to walk in and I love the views. I just wish there was more shade because it gets so hot in the summer.

    The park area is very large and inclusive. Many many things for the kids to do. Not so good…read morebathrooms, they are open for anyone to use and when they go unmantained not even sure if it's safe to wash your hands. The city may need a program. Kids can't use the restroom safely.

    This review is mostly for the experience with the dog park…read more There are enclosed sections for both the small and dog play areas. They have artifice grass, dog water fountains, and benches for the humans. It gets popular on the weekend mornings. There's a corgi South Bay meet up every Sunday. I try to bring my corgi here a few times to socialize. She still prefer to get pets from human strangers by the benches than to play with canine buddies. It's ok if your dog is shy or not into dog parks; I don't want to force it and let her play a bit and take the cue to leave when she doesn't play anymore. some dog just prefer smaller play dates kinda like introverted humans lol. There are kids playground here like a slide, swings, see saw, jungle gym. It's on the newer cleaner side. It's kind of a small park... It's definitely way less than 1 mile circumference so I'd half to walk multiple laps for my dog to get sufficient exercise for us both. I rather not go here for actually waking though and go to a bigger park. This park is mostly for playing/ socializing with the dogs. There a biking path that runs through this park and if you follow it you can pas behind residential areas to the water tower. Parking can be tricky the lot is small and on Sundays there is game practice on the field (soccer). Sometime I find nearby parking by the curb close by.

    I sometimes like coming to this dog park. It's usually quiet,so my dogs have free roam of the park…read more The small dog side is ok but the large dog side is very big. There's plenty of grass. They provide dog poop bags,but no water. There is a public restroom at the entrance to the park. My only complaint is the parking is not near the dog park,you have to follow the trail past the baseball diamond to reach the entrance. Also only one bench per side. I bring my own chair.

    Nice little dog park in a convenient location. It's about 200 feet across in the big dog area…read more The ground is dirt and grass. The parking lot is about 500 feet from the entrance to the dog park. It is autumn so it's not a surprise but there are lotta leaves on the ground which make it very difficult to find anything to pick up. I wouldn't advise walking around in the leafy areas. There is quite a bit of road noise. I've driven right by this park hundreds of times and had no idea it was here until today. Unfortunately the park is closed all day on Thursday for maintenance. I'd like to know what they do in the park that takes more than 10 minutes. I actually doubt if any maintenance has been done here in a long time. It's the same thing at the Gamma Dog Park which is closed on Wednesdays until three for maintenance. I've come by a couple of times before three by mistake and I've never seen anybody maintaining anything.
