There is a ticket vending machine located near the park entrance, when entering from Blossom Hill Road. You can pay your $ 6 vehicle entrance fee here. If you drive too far, you will have to go back to buy a ticket.

The are sold online

Eventbrite has tickets for two category of vehicles. Approx 22$ for vehicle capacity of 12. Need to book tickets in advance. Be at the venue 30min before since the queue can be long.

No electric car charging unfortunately

No LG parade. Just drive through

Yes....go

You can but holiday event tickets on Eventbrite.com

All their schedule on their website. Please call them for more info.

Yes, you can just let the gater know since you already paid for when you came in.

Not very many bike trails.

The park is open year-round from 8:00 a.m. until sunset. Vehicle entrance and lake use fees are collected year round.

If the parking is full no more valid even if you paid as displayed at the park. You can park outside n walk though.

Yes

Not shure but i saw the sighn only permite call and ask to make sure

There are a lot of designated areas for picknicking

On leashes, yes

It's in California!! Los Gatos

Yes. But this year they only allow drive through to watch the display. You can not get out of the car.

I just went there last weekend, and the trees are still mostly green.

American River, Parkside Aquatic, Oyster Point Beach, Russian River

No swimming in the lake but I see children wading through the creeks around the lake

not yet

Yes it's open for trails and general seating. Signs posted that no picnicing but not being enforced

Yes.

No

The park costs nothing ... to park there yes

They let you know at the entrance. It's an AM station streaming Christmas carols

Instead of walk do a drive through if it rains

Exactly no swimming in the lake, but the river is ok

U can run all u want. If u wanna do something organized i would imagine you need a permit

Depends a lot on time of day you're wanting to go, but if it's late morning to afternoon, I would say it would be a good idea to reserve a spot.

Yes

Yes. Good luck getting a spot.

I am not sure, maybe you have to make a reservation. I recommend Ed R Levin Park in Milpitas, it is not crowded at all and you have a good view for fireworks.

No the trail on a scale of 1- 10 would be a 1. Los Gatos creek trail in general is very easy to ride great for beginners.

Snack shack summer hours open from 11am - 4pm. BBQ opens 11 - 2 on weekdays: 11-3 on Saturday and Sunday.

There's an online map that you can find from their website. on it you can see where the restrooms are in relationship to the picnic areas. This will help you to choose a picnic area closest to restrooms.

They could but you'll probably get in trouble if they catch you

I wouldn't recommend. Never saw anyone do it.

Yes fishing is allowed at the lake

It is open every day

Expensive ....

Entrance fees 6$

You are not supposed to park, but instead just drive slowly through the park.

There are a LOT of lights. You can see lights start going up around the patk in September

Hi Hai, That's a great question. The short answer is yes. Here's what the website says and a link: Alcohol: Permitted in picnic areas. Not permitted in parking lots. https://www.sccgov.org/sites/parks/AboutUs/Pages/County-Park-Rules-Ordinances.aspx

I think the barbecue is first come first serve, but you should check with a park to make sure.

Vasona was the name of the horse that a local railroad engineer loved. He named a junction for the railroad after that horse. Since the naming of the Vasona Junction, Vasona has been used many times for various locations in the South Bay.

You need a California state fishing license to fish in the lake or anywhere else, pretty much

Yes its allowed to bring your own BBQ and charcoal.

No

8 to sunset, train rides open 10 am cost $3.00 each.

Bar b q area has tables for large parties. I've seen reservations signs on tables . Best to check with park employees

Sunset

There's no rule posted against it in the county park system, so I don't see why not.

Construction is almost done. They are finishing up irrigation work and lawn reconstruction. The park is scheduled to be fully up and running by June 1st.

No. The Park Rules and Regulations for the town of Los Gatos states "Not Allowed: radio controlled airplanes, helicopters, drones." A man on TripAdvisor said he was teaching his grandsons to fly a quad copter at the park and two park rangers approached him and said there's a city ordinance preventing the flying of anything remote-controlled. So while it seems like a good place to fly, you might end up having a problem. Special Use Permits are available for some activities. When in doubt, ask a ranger.

Not sure about stock rate, but you can most definitely catch a nice bass or carp. Seen one man pull a 3-footer out of there

Yes, open year round. 8 am to sunset. They do still have construction going on which has closed the los gatos creek trail and picnic and parking near the park entrance and trail under blossom hill road. This also effects access to some areas near the creek. This was sceduled to end sometime in april 2018, not sure if recent weather may have slowed this down. Detours exist.

Yes i believe you can as long as you don't exceed the daily limit and stay within fishing laws on the sizes of your catch.

You can also buy the tickets online on their website

Yes

No, but during the day you can walk in from Los Gatos Creek and see the layouts and character frames without lights for free.

Yes....
