This new dog park is listed as "Piedmont Road dog park" under Google maps since it is technically…read moreon Piedmont Road but also connected to Penitencia Park. The park is divided in two: big dog and small dogs. Its mostly just dry dirt with some tanbark along the edges. No poop bags are provided however, there is a spot for some tennis balls and a water fountain along with a big bowl. Theres 4 benches mostly parked under the shade of big trees so you can expect a bit of seating. Parking right next to the dog park is pretty limited as it's mostly just street parking along Piedmont Road. No food or drinks are allowed and people, for the most part, follow the rules. Sometimes people bring their medium/large dogs into the small dog park so do keep an eye on your dog. The park is pretty well kept and clean throughout despite no bags being provided. Most of the people who frequent this park seem very kind and warm. If you have a social pup, I would come here and check it out.

This is a very new dog park! It officially opened around summer of 2024. I heard the residents of…read morethis area are very happy about it since the next closest dog park was in Santa Clara? I briefly visited from out of town for a breed specific meet up so my experience is not that of a regular. Pros include the spaciousness, real grass, bench seating, mature trees providing shade, trash bins inside the park area including poop scoopers, and a water fountain/bowl. When I went the water fountain wasn't working. I did some research beforehand. (Google Maps calls this the Piedmont Road Dog Park. I don't know if that's the official name.) They don't have poop bags either. I think these drawbacks will likely be remedied in the future. I've seen at other dog parks the community members step up and install back up poop bags or bring in stainless steel troughs for the water. In the meantime, bring your own bags and water! The one thing I really did not like was the parking situation. Piedmont seems very busy. There isn't a parking lot to pull into. I drove past the park initially. It's street parking on Piedmont with some areas of the curb being red or green. The solution would be for someone to park in a lot inside the park (another entrance) and to walk to the dog parks. There's also a shopping plaza across the street and residential streets nearby if you don't mind crossing the street. The real grass and mature trees/shade are really rare for a dog park! I could see this place being five stars for someone that lives in the area and is more experienced with the parking situation than me.

Such a beautiful park!!…read more I've had Delano Manongs Park bookmarked for quite some time and as time passed, I honestly forgot about this place. With an upcoming play date planned between myself and a gf, I was happy that this particular park was picked for our meet up. First things first, this park is MASSIVE! Delano Manongs Park is broken into 10 parts- YES, I SAID 10!! This includes a small and large dog park, multiple gardens, a fitness station, and a number of play structures to keep all your little munchkins happily occupied. The park is very well kept, the restrooms are very doable, and with its large size, there isn't that congested feeling you get with other locations. On top of the many perks, there is a large field to kick or throw around a few balls. The only flaw- and might I add that it is a big one- is the lack of actual shade. Your relief from the sun's powerful rays is limited to the gazebo where the benches are or using the large flower structures as a shield. 5/5 stars all in all. This is lots of fun for kids of all ages.

When I mentioned that one persons dog had done his business,his response was Are you the poop patrol? He then proceeded to keep talking. What a bunch of entitled a**holes. No one in his group seemed to care. I walked around and witnessed at least 3 other dogs doing the same with no owners around. I love the park,but I can't come here anymore. Hint if your not part of the old people klick, expect to be ignored when calling them out.

The best dog park to run around our pup! This dog park is among the top options in the South Bay!…read moreThere is a spacious park for smaller dogs and a large park for bigger dogs! This woks out so well because the large dog park allows the dogs to run, play, and horse around. (It's so fun to see all the personalities of the pups come out) Occasionally there will be an owner pet combo throwing and fetching a ball but for the most part the humans socialize with each other and the my pup will seek out his buddies too! If your pup is on the smaller side or maybe skittish around playful dogs, consider using the smaller dog park side. Both parks have a walking track for those who prefer walks and plenty of benches for folks who just need to recoup after a long day. There is plenty of parking and lights! (Perfect for the long nights in the fall/winter time)

This is a hidden gem of a park in a quiet neighborhood in Milpitas. We were looking for local parks…read morethat were suitable for a toddler play date and decided to check out this place in person. We wanted to find a park that is relatively new/in good condition and not too crowded to let the little ones safely play. I'm honestly surprised that this isn't a more popular place to bring your kids. I suppose a part of it is because it is a neighborhood park without dedicated parking, although there is plenty of street parking. With that being said, the play area is gated so it is safe to let your children roam with supervision, the play structures are all in very good condition and the padded flooring is intact across the park. Very suitable for toddlers and older children, they even have a baby changing station inside of the bathroom, as well as adequate drinking fountains and drinking fountains for dogs. We were there on a Saturday morning, from 9 to 10am and were the only family there the entire time. This is completely different compared to some of the other parks in Sunnyvale or San Jose, where it can become a zoo by that time. We will definitely be setting up future play dates here.

This is a nice little park in milpitas! I was looking for dog parks. Found this place because I…read moredidn't want to go too far or to Ed Levin (i don't like having cellular signal issues lol). Definitely meant for the surrounding neighborhoods. There are multiple entrances but are basically towards the end of each street. It seems dog friendly enough with a dog enclosure and easy to stroll around and walk your dog. There's a nice grassy area in the center and I noticed a few instances of owners playing catch with their dogs off-leash. There are picnic tables by the playground and public bathrooms all in the same area. The only water fountain I found was by the picnic/playground/bathroom area and it had a lower fountain for dogs. **Dog park: The dog area was really small, all dirt with one bench. Big dog and small dog are separated but the size is pretty similar to each other with the big dog having just a LITTLE bit more space. It was empty for me except for 1 dog owner but I wonder if there would be more dogs after-work hours for some socialization :-) you would have to walk a little but further down to the main area for water fountain.

Watson Park offers more than just a dog run. There are a couple parking lots, basketball courts,…read moresoccer/sports field, and a larger grassy field (in the main park) without shade as the trees are mainly located at the border of the park. There's also a sizable playground, a few picnic tables and park benches scattered throughout, a cement walking trail, and at least one restroom. I came by during Viva CalleSJ this past weekend so there were a bunch of porta potties too, as well as food trucks and vendor tents set up. I picnicked under the trees, enjoying some good eats from Shrimp'n Aint Eazy while listening to live music by the San Jose Jazz Collective on a breezy Sunday afternoon. Nothing really notable about the scenery here, but it's a nice enough park and a lovely setting for events like this.

The people here aren't very concerned about other people's dogs. A lady with a aggressive medium size dog left the large side. She thought it was a good idea to come to the small dog side. I guess she thought it would make her dog feel better to bully smaller dogs. The last straw for me. WARNING bringing your dog here is a risky.

There was one day where someone brought out an aggressive dog the owner wasn't correcting, and the other dog owners had no issues telling the guy to remove himself and his dog.

There are benches around facing the playground. This park seems clean and well kept. I didn't see any trash or graffiti on the playground. The only issue I have is that there was no bathrooms provided.

There is no designated private lot specifically for Townsend Park. Townsend is pretty big but feels very small due to the number of people visiting. Finding your own private area is limited to setting up a blanket on the grass. While a majority of the visitors abide by social distancing and wearing face masks, there was a good number of people who did not. There is no shortage of tables and benches to take a load off and the abundance of shade scattered throughout this area is a nice added touch. For those who are interested, tennis courts sit on the opposite end of the park. 5 stars for such a diverse, clean, & welcoming environment. FYI: there are no restrooms, come prepared with lots of wipes and hand sanitizer.

It's a very large park though but 70% of the area has basically just grass and trees. It's like a regional park but a lot smaller. Not many people come to this park but you'll see many coming from an area where the playgrounds are at. They should kinda add more sport areas or play places in the park just to maybe fill up some spaces.

The parking lot is about 500 feet from the entrance to the dog park. It is autumn so it's not a surprise but there are lotta leaves on the ground which make it very difficult to find anything to pick up. I wouldn't advise walking around in the leafy areas. There is quite a bit of road noise. I've driven right by this park hundreds of times and had no idea it was here until today. Unfortunately the park is closed all day on Thursday for maintenance. I'd like to know what they do in the park that takes more than 10 minutes. I actually doubt if any maintenance has been done here in a long time. It's the same thing at the Gamma Dog Park which is closed on Wednesdays until three for maintenance. I've come by a couple of times before three by mistake and I've never seen anybody maintaining anything.
