Way back in the day, I used to ride my horse here. There was a nearby boarding stables where I kept…read moremy mare for a while. The trails are pretty and some are rather steep. My husband and I brought our dog here recently, since she had never been there. The sad thing is that I don't remember which trails I used to frequent; it's been so long. We walked around the man-made pond near the golf course. and watched the hang gliders/parasailers come down from the hill. I did not see any horses on this occasion, unfortunately. We did see a few cows in the pasture. It's a pretty place for a hike or a picnic. They charge $6 for parking.

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.

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.

This park has a nice softball field, infield is dirt and outfield is grass with a fencing that goes around the outfield.

We ended up having plenty of pickleball fun. All of the sports facilities in this park are lit at night (baseball field, basketball courts, pickleball and tennis courts). A small parking lot, public restroom, tiny picnic area, and little playground are also available. There are no other features that stand out to me, but if looking to play some sports, even after dark, this park is accommodating and feels safe.

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)

More than enough space to accommodate all the dogs and their owners. Several water stations around the park. My only gripe is that shade is sparse. If I came back during summer, I'd definitely want to come here at 8am or so. It was my first time taking our pup to a dog park since I've read many horror stories. I'm glad there were no unfortunate incidents today though. Owners seemed really attentive to what their dogs were doing, and only one out of the many dogs there seemed to be somewhat aggressive. It was nice seeing all the dogs sniffing and playing with each other. So much space to run and pee! The astroturf is definitely a plus. Just wish we were closer!

I brought my two dogs to this dog park (large dog area) and was pleasantly surprised. It was…read moreextremely spacious and pretty clean. I'd say there was limited seating relative to the size of the space, but I did a lot of walking around rather than sitting anyway. There's also not a lot of shade so if it's a particularly sunny and hot day, it may not be a good place to go. I liked that this park was flat and provided a couple of water fountains, a small dog agility area, several trash cans and different entrance/exits. I would come back!

Not many people come to this park but you'll see many coming from an area where the playgrounds are at.

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.

There's also a few pieces of agility equipment for the dogs to play with. The grass was a little sparse, probably due to the heat. I assume it will grow back during the winter.
