    Middle playground
    Kathy Y.

    Great park for kids of all ages! 3 separate playgrounds in closer proximity so easy for parents to see their children play. Has swings, slides, and structures! (Which apparently many playground don't have anymore.) There is even a big sand pit for kids to enjoy - with cemented areas for adults to monitor. Big grass fields for picnicking, gathering, and playing. Easy to bring your own tables and canopies/tents to take advantage of the big space. Also large trees around the park to provide natural shade too! There is a BBQ area available for reservations (through Cupertino Parks and Rec). Two tables are chained together in the center of the middle playground area for additional non-reservation seating - love this space because there is shade and right in the middle. The little kid playground also has a bench available. There is a single-stall restroom (separate women's and men's), which is usually kept very clean. I have found the paper towels and soap and stocked regularly too.

    Women's bathroom

    Very spacious area , clean bathrooms and grass. The women's room has better decor. The humor in the bathroom seems better. I didn't go in I just know from the person I came with. The men's room however from my experience definitely needs more then once stall. This kid was taking forever. They have two separate playgrounds so the older and younger ones don't play together. The grass was soo nice that it made me sleepy. Oh wait there's a third playground I think also. I am not sure what that areas all about. This is a great date place. The bbq pits are really cool here. I met some cool people here.

    This is a decent small park. There is not much of a trail or pathway to run or walk but can see it being popular with kids/parents since it has 3 play areas. Was not a big fan of the teens taking over the kid's play areas though doing parkour-like activities along side the little kids.

    Beautiful, well shaded park with 3 huge play structures. There is a toddler structure, though it is not enclosed. There's clean restrooms (though no changing table), and pretty large fields that are dog friendly (poop bags provided !). We have fun just sitting under the trees making daisy bracelets There are plenty of picnic tables and some grills as well. No designated parking lot- but there is street parking, which is mostly unshaded.

    Sand area

    This is one of our favorite parks because it has a ton of shade in the afternoon! There are lots of trees surrounding the toddler playground. Some parts of the sand and grassy areas are also shaded. The toddler section has 2 baby swings, 2 stand-alone slides, and a ride-on toy. In addition to the toddler area, there are 2 other play structures for older children. There are bathrooms available and some street parking. Whenever we visit during the week, I don't have any trouble finding a parking spot.

    This is how we do it!

    Pretty cool spot for children and family gatherings. Bae found this spot and we went all out to enjoy the summer weather. Right next to our son's school. Brought our lounge chairs, ice coolers, picnic mats and our empty stomach. There isn't a basketball court but a lot of grass area to touch up a tent and volleyball net. Plenty of shade too. I give this spot a 5 stars.

We came on the evening on a Friday, which is perfect for just talking a nice stroll or hike around, but after seeing that they had a bearded dragon (Matilda) and a chuckwalla (Chuck), I knew I had to come back again to meet them. Parking is free and love the wildlife that is around here. Not just the butterflies that I've seen fluttering about but also the coyote that trotted across the lot to cross the street. This is also a great location to find activities to do with the family or with the community. They have a 4 H Club, a community garden that you can sign up for, an entire calendar of events for the month, a Blacksmithing workshop/demonstration, and much more. We were limited on time and didn't get to see the historical buildings or the restored structures, nor was the Blacksmith Shop open, but for our next visit, I'll be sure to check them out. Outside you can meet the alpaca that they have hanging out (freshly shaved for the summer, so it was funny to see the little tufts of hair that they had on their head) and some of their goats too. Now to the highlight of my visit, the Environmental Education Center. Obviously this is meant for kids and families, but I had a great time meeting their animal ambassadors (I didn't ask for them to be taken out, but I'm sure there are events and moments for that) and learning more about them. The staff there are very friendly, welcoming, and informative. It makes me happy to know that the ambassadors that I inquired about were rescues and they have a second chance at life and in educating the community. My favs were obviously Matilda and Chuck, but there are also various snakes, turtles, a toad, fish, tarantulas, and stick bugs. The center also has books, opportunities for hands on observations and journaling for kids, puppets and educational toys and exhibits, and much more. Definitely will come back!

There are huge, luscious lawns where people will set up volleyball games on weekends. If you have kids, there is a cute playground with plenty of fun slides. I really enjoy walking along the expanse of the park. As a new pickleball player, this is my go-to location to practice. There are eight courts and a neat queuing system. Because of the clear queue, there is always a very tidy line to play pickleball. What I love about the pickleball courts here is that there are two sides divided by skill level. If you're a pro pickleball player, the advanced side has a line of extremely skilled competitors. If you're just starting out, the beginner side has a good amount of new players to practice with. It does get very busy during certain times, like on weekends or after work. However, the queuing system prevents any confusion when the crowds get big. I absolutely love pickleballing at this park and highly recommend to beginners and more advanced players!

The grounds are clean, making it a comfortable place to take a stroll around the park and relax. Parking is limited. The lot is shared with a nearby senior community center, which reduces the number of spots available for park visitors. Depending on the time of day, you may need to prepare ahead of time to find parking.

The first time I came here years ago, couldn't find a spot so we left, then came back another time and lucked out. Most recently we spent about 30 minutes circling and going back and forth between all the lots before we finally got a spot. We considered leaving, but every time we tried to sit and look at a map to find somewhere else to go, a car would come up behind us and we'd have to move. So if you aren't a patient person, come early, or don't come. After our parking search nightmare was over, we were finally able to enjoy the beautiful trails and lovely farm. It was truly amazing how empty the trails felt with how many people and cars were there. We did the deer hollow loop trail which included the coyote trail, and we only came across a handful of other groups until we got to the farm. They have maps at the trial head, and many trails to choose from, so grab a map if you haven't been. The maps are small so it's kind of hard to tell where you are, but luckily the trail posts are numbered, so you can reference them on the map as your winding your way on the trails. We were pleasantly surprised by how many animals there were on the farm! There were goats, pigs, sheep, cows, ducks, geese, and chickens. It was fun to explore and watch all the animals grazing and roaming their pens. The farm is a decent trek from the parking lot, even though it is flat and there are paved areas you can walk, it does take some time to get back out from it.
