Great hiking path. Want it flat and easy? No problem, walk the perimeter. Want some cardio for beginners? Choose the paths winding up and over the rolling hills. Perfect.

This is a fantastic little hiking/walking area that quickly gets you out of the Silicon Valley mindset and close to the SF Bay. It had plenty of people when I was there, but it didn’t feel crowded and parking was surprisingly easy to find. There isn’t much elevation, but there are plenty of tracks to follow. Seems like a good place for trail running, also.

Updating review: I had previously only been to the park when it was desert-y and dry—but still beautiful. Today it was luscious and green and lovely in a different way. Plenty of parking. Access to a public restroom. A few benches for resting. Stroller-friendly, but bumpy. A nice place to wander aimlessly. Choose the more flat trails today rather than the steep hills; however, I did make it up one little incline and enjoyed the wonderful view. — Original Review: I’m not sure where all these pictures of greenery came from—everything is brown & dead right now. There is some construction at the entrance. Lots of parking available. Public bathrooms available. Stroller-friendly paths, but unpaved & bumpy. I just kind of wandered around; there were no clear paths set out with signs for direction. We chose to trek up a few hills, but could have had a flat walk if we wanted. Very little shade on a hot day. Today’s bonus: we followed the mysterious sounds of a trumpet through the park to find a fellow playing at the top of a hill—so fun!

Such a great and simple park, I couldn't ask for anything more! It's a perfect place to run, walk your dog, bike, fly a kite, and so much more. With a gorgeous view especially during sunset, I absolutely love coming to this park to run with a beautiful view!

Allowed, I would not recommend a road bike. Hybrid should be OK.

Hi , is fishing allowed.

Nader Ibrahim | Aug 28, 2018
Patrick Franz | Aug 28, 2018

I wouldn't imagine there is any fishing to be had here. It's all salt flats that dry up (mostly) when the bay drains.

The website says "Bikes restricted to paved trails and roads", but the sign at the park marks all trails as biking trails. So which is right? Fyi, the only truly paved part of the park is the road entering the park and the parking lots.

Is flying RC planes allowed there?

Stephen Anderson | Aug 28, 2018
Edward Mack | Aug 28, 2019

I used to fly there all the time, but the MP Council has banned RC flying recently. I think if you are responsible, you can still do it. The reason it became a problem (in my opinion) was because of the inconsiderate quadcopter pilots flying close to the parking lot and near people.
