Bowers Park is a fairly minimalistic, quiet neighborhood park. There aren't a whole lot of…read morefeatures, but as a result, you won't find a lot of people here making a ruckus! A footpath stretches from the south to the north end of the park, with some redwoods providing shade along the way. There are BBQ grills, picnic tables, restrooms, and a very basic playground. There's ample grassy space to throw a ball around or set up a volleyball net. A small parking lot sits at the north end, but most visitors will have to park on the street. The park connects openly to Bowers Elementary School, providing access to the school's playgrounds, basketball hoops and wallball court. Perfect for when school's not in session! This isn't a destination park, but it's a terrific asset to the neighborhood.

There's a parking…read morelot off Cabrillo and Morrison but it's a couple min walk from the parking to the playground itself (which, isn't that most convenient with toddlers). For closer access there's street parking near Barkley Ave. There's a building with restrooms that are not in service closer to the Cabrilllo side and port-a-potties that smell like they haven't been cleaned out in months. The playground itself is nice, with ramps for smaller toddlers, swings, a fair amount of shade, benches, and a grass area. But the walk + horrendous odor and lack of cleanliness from the restroom situation is enough to deter this mama from frequenting here.

I enjoyed watching the BMX freestyle exhibition at the Viva CalleSJ event this past Sunday, offering several showtimes throughout the day, with performers putting on a show for the crowd including flatland moves and bowl riding. It's a decent spot for viewers too, offering several tables with umbrellas for shade, lovely palm trees, and restrooms for convenience.

It's in a safe neighborhood surrounded by lovely townhomes, an adjacent library, and even a police station across the street. Unfortunately the concrete trail does not go all the way around the park as there's an elementary-middle school on one side of the grassy field. But that just means an extra trek around Don Callejon if running laps here. The tree-lined pathways on the border are lovely, however there is no shade found elsewhere in the wide open space that makes up the majority of this park. Still, the place is great for picnicking, playing sports, or for kids to just run around. There are also a few benches along the trail, a playground at the corner of the park, and a restroom near the play area. Nothing really exciting or unique about this place, but it's clean and spacious and a decent option for spending time outdoors. I appreciate that they even post banners sharing local attractions and events happening around the city of Santa Clara. In fact, that led me to my next stop later in the evening, to check out the "Nebula Rider" (separate review on that).

There is a playground for kids to play and also big grass area for walking, playing sports, laying around on the grass to read a book, have a picnic, or for dogs to walk and sniff around.

Next to this park, there is a public library and a retail complex with Safeway and many restaurants. Very convenient. The only down side is sometimes you'll hear the flight noise as it's under flight path of SJC

I'm in my 40s and started skating seriously a couple years ago. Found JB through his amazing…read moreYoutube channel and really enjoyed his video content. When my instructor through the Society skate shop moved away I figured I'd give JB a shot. I've done three lessons here so far and it's been well worth the time and money. JB has been very positive, gives great feedback, and understands what's good for my progression. I get several super useful bits of feedback every lesson, along with a handful of things to work on in between lessons. We've focused a lot on skating transition, and in our last lesson we spent some time on ollie's. The Sunnyvale skate park and Youtube channel go hand in hand with the live instruction - the park is marked up with blue tape for skaters to learn the lines, and it's really helpful to rewatch videos after a lesson to reinforce what we went over live. Definitely looking forward to our next lesson! If I had started out here instead of on my own I would have avoided a shoulder injury early in my skating days. My schedule means that I can usually only skate on the weekends. I get an email every week from JB Thursday or Friday, check the kid soccer schedule, make sure I've had enough time to practice, and schedule a Sunday morning session if it all aligns.

Don't be fooled by how Josh presents himself to younger kids - he has a disrespectful side with a…read moretouch of lawlessness. I took a few lessons from him (as an adult) a while back, and he initially seemed like he might be "cool." However, he quickly became disillusioned with the fact I am not nearly the "daredevil" type that he or many of his other clients [many of whom are young] are and that I do not learn as quickly or want to take big "risks" (at least not at his desired pace). I paid him $50 per hour (EXCELLENT money) to (supposedly) help me improve my skills, and yet he still had little to no humility. This made me angry - hence why I decided at that point to no longer do business with him. The final straw for me was when I learned that he is encouraging children to behave illicitly - specifically, by trespassing. See my attached photo from his Facebook page where on a rainy day, the park was closed (with the gate locked) by the City, and yet he and his group jumped the fence so they could still ride. Not cool. And, fast forward to now, and it seems like he has almost outright "claimed" the Sunnyvale skatepark as his own, and as an asset for running his business. This means "regular" members of the community cannot come and skate here, as there will be 20+ little, rambunctious kids running all over the place, making it impossible for anyone else to skate. Sadly the City of Sunnyvale does not appear to have an ordinance against such use, but it is sad to me he doesn't even have enough basic respect to be considerate of both other, "general" people and the community at large.
