Quiet and pleasant places for family. Good for trekking and good for picnics too!

This is a beautiful park with an exclusive area called "Japanese Garden". A place to enjoy with family and friends. It has tennis courts and a small beisbol stadium

Lots of flowers and trees. Find some free or metered parking around the park. There was a Japanese garden, a high school art exhibit, blooming rose garden, tons of groups picnicking, etc. Very delightful!

I love this park, close to Noah's bagel and Starbucks and other shops on El Camino Real. Come on Sunday, street parking is free. Come early for a parking place. I had no problems. Park is beautiful, lots of trees, Oaks, Pine, etc. There is a lovely Japanese garden inside the park, free, but no food or drinks allowed, ☹️. There are plenty of benches to sit and chat while the kids run around on the jungle gym. Covid-19: 90% of people are wearing mask and kids too. Plenty of garbage cans around so the park is clean. Tables are plentiful for picnics but not always clean. Overall a A+ experience
