Los Gatos Creek County Park

Steven Christenson

It's pretty well maintained, has fenced areas that are separate for small and large dogs, and sees a good quantity of various dogs - most of which are well monitored by their owners, and most of which are well behaved. The large dog side is quite a lot bigger and has more shade than the small dog side, but both sides have water available. My advice would be to take a shallow plastic bowl to more easily get water from the dog fountain. I found my dog isn't real fond of the dispenser as it is (and the human fountain is used for all sorts of things - I would not recommend drinking out of it!). Dog waste disposal bags can be found at the parking area and in each of the sections of the dog park. There is a $6 parking fee which seems a bit steep, and while there is also an hourly fee, it's a bit of a hassle. There is also a pavilion, picnic area, and fly casting area here, the Los Gatos Creek trail, and percolation ponds. I recommend getting an annual pass which covers many parks in the area as well. There are a few places where you can park and walk in, but only very few as the park is pretty heavily used. The park is closed to dogs during Goose nesting season. I've never had a problem finding a place to park. By the way the dog section is at the farthest end of parking lot, past the fly casting ponds. Driving up San Thomas Expressway from Camden Avenue you can spot the park on the left.

Very clean enjoyable to walk. The random duck is excrements aren’t lying around as in some other parks. Toddler friendly, just need to keep an eye so that he doesn’t run into the pond. We biked, the ride was nice.

A beautiful place to walk or bike. But too many people on the trail. You can't really appreciate that your in nature.
