    Great park & playground for all ages. Sandboxes, swings, slides. Bring some cardboard for the concrete slide or take a chance finding some left over. Beautiful community garden. Plenty of trees with shade. Grassy areas to lay out a blanket or many benches with backs to sit. Nice walking path around the park as well.

    Cute park in the neighborhood. Moms in the area seem to love it. There are always kids in the playground or families picnicking on the grass. Perfect for families. There's an area for basketball and an area to play volleyball too. There's also a beautiful community garden with roses, flowers, and vegetables. I like to come here for a short work out sessions. It's perfect for jogging a couple of laps around the park.

    This is a beautiful small park located in downtown Palo Alto. There is a playground, basketball court, couple of beaches and a huge grass area. Beautiful on a sunny day.

    I frequent this park almost daily because of work & always enjoy it. It's a good sized park with a terrific playground for children. They also have a small community garden, basketball court, & sand volleyball court. There is a grass area that's large enough for a group to play soccer & other activities. I've seen everything from frisbee playing, yoga, & T'ai Chi being done here. They also have picnic tables & benches along the perimeter of the park. A great family park in a nice neighborhood.

    I play Volleyball ball here with friends Sunday afternoon! Pretty nice park. Friendly people and pretty busy for such a small park. They have a little jungle gym for kids. Nothing extravagant but you see families lay down a blanket and just hang out. The atmosphere is good and the park is big enough for a lot :)

    Grab a snack and cruise on the beautiful lawn of this park. A little something for everyone. And a convenient picnic spot.

There were 2 volunteers who were helpful explaining everything. On the way out with our 6 month old boy and 9 month old girl we stopped at the playground near the parking (which was adequate given it was a Friday afternoon). They had a wonderful time swinging on the swings. There were a full set of play things available for slightly older children. Everything was as clean as could be expected. We had a very nice day at the park.

There are two donkeys that live there. They are named April and Buddy. You can see them walking the park with their care takers from time to time. You can meet the donkeys for a walk on Sundays from 10-11 a.m. There use to be three donkeys. The third was named Perry and he passed this year, 2025. Perry was the donkey that Disney's- Shrek's donkey was based off of. They are gentle and sweet and friendly to visitors. You can donate to the donkeys at https://barronparkdonkeys.org. My dog and I love walking the pathways and hanging out around the grass fields and trees. It's a great place for kids because of the cute playground, picnic tables and water fountains.

What I like: Free entry, huge free parking lot, and bathrooms. You can keep it simple with a walk or bike ride on the trails, or make it more of an activity day with the lake. The lake is manmade and they have a boathouse where you can rent equipment. Sailing, paddle boating, that kind of vibe. I've also seen the boathouse area used for group events, so it's good for a casual outing or even something organized. A few practical notes: It's mostly flat, which is great, but there's very little shade, so if it's sunny bring water and plan accordingly. Weekends can get crowded, especially when the weather is good. Overall, it's a clean, convenient park with enough variety that you can keep coming back and not get bored.

There are many recreational activities to do here with a golf course, a lake for sailing, fields / open spaces for kite flying and other sports, restaurants, the historic Rengstorff House (a restored historic Victorian mansion), trails for biking and walking, and more. Unfortunately, the Rengstorff House just closed when we arrived. We were able to walk around and check out the lake and some of the other areas though.
