    This is a nice big giant park. They had several soccer games going on and was packed today. There were several stalls selling food and drinks and it felt like we were at a carnival. In terms of the park itself, there's a lot of parking and plenty of space and the bball courts were new and well maintained. Plus check out the Magic Playground which is inside as well.

    This is always my favorite park to visit in the area. This park has plenty of space for outdoor sports on their fields, group gatherings at the barbecue area and play equipment for kids. I love how clean it is here, I never really see any trash on the ground and people always tend to pick up their pet waste.

    Magical Bridge playground in Fair Oaks Park, Sunnyvale, newly opened - fantastic recreational place with lots of outdoor activities for kids & teens.

    Large grassy field.

    Surprisingly large and grassy for being located right next to a busy street, this park also serves as Hobo Central. I can't remember going to this park and not seeing a police officer talking to a questionable-looking fellow. No, I've never seen them apprehend a woman. I suppose not too many shady ladies hang out here. The first time I ever went here, a dude was passed out on the grass by the picnic tables and the police were interviewing the dude's friend (mellow fellow, not shady lady). Somehow this hasn't prevented me from returning for a stroll. PERKS: ----------- (+) Huge open grassy field that serves as a soccer field or rolling grounds for dogs. (+) Sporty park: decently sized basketball courts, 2 baseball diamonds, turf soccer field, grass soccer field, skate park. (+) Playground area near the front. (+) Well-maintained and relatively clean, other than the characters. The drinking fountains look clean and there are garbage cans at various positions in the park. DIRTS: ---------- (-) Shady characters tend to chill at the picnic tables, which aren't too far from the playground area. Yikes! (-/+ ??) You might see people getting appreheneded and/or arrested. Typically not a positive experience but some readers may enjoy that kind of thing. Overall, a beautiful park with good provisions, as long as you don't mind the Mellow Fellows (and maybe someday Shady Ladies). TIP: Just mind your own business and have a good time. Could be more pleasant if you bring a companion with you. DATE TIP: Not the most romantic, unless you enjoy watching people get arrested.

    I brought my kids to the playground here last weekend and won't be planning a return trip anytime too soon. The playground equipment itself is okay -- older but in good condition -- but it's located about 20 feet from a busy street. As to environment, we got to enjoy a fair bit of garbage in the sand area and the company of 4-5 homeless guys working on a trash can fire at the adjacent picnic area. True, this was my only visit and we may have picked a bad day... but hey, I've got a lot of other parks to choose from on the Peninsula.

    This is one of the smaller parks in Sunnyvale, the park offers two large softball fields, three basketball courts, multiple benches and BBQ pits, a playground, and two large parking lots. I come here about 5 days a week to watch my sons football practice and aside from the group undesirables in the BBQ area and the two port-a-potty's that never seem to get emptied this park is pretty clean. At night the stadium lights come on to keep the field lit and the athletes from getting hurt. The SVPD if here quite often to shoo away the homeless but they just return after the police leave. They don't really seem to bother anyone aside from the peeing in bushes and the loud Banda music that's playing from the front of some guys bike that has been rigged with a power wheels battery and some duct tape. Overall its a good environment and sits close to the heart of the city, I'd recommend this place for some good B Ball games or a weekend BBQ but I'd be weary of walking through this place late at night unless your from the area.

    Basketball courts (3)

    This park is great. There are 2 baseball fields, a giant grass area between them, a skate park attached, a partially reservable picnic area, a playground, and a fenced basketball area with lights available till around 11 pm (?) with three courts. There are often dogs playing or being walked, but no dog area. There is one lathe parking lot off Fair Oaks/ Wolfe. However, over by the basketball courts many people park on an unpaved lot across from King's Academy (school). There are no bathrooms available to my knowledge, but I haven't really looked. There are often sports games being played here on the weekends.

    Nice little park, but needs a doggie area to complete the scene.

    Amazing hidden gem. SV maintains the park very clean. Playground, sandy volleyball court, water…read morespray area, tennis court, horseshoe court. Highly recommend.

    They renovated the playground area. It's much nicer than before. it has swings, slides, climbing…read morestructures (even a rope one!) and a spinning platform. The little kids enjoy the frog that sprays water. There is a public restroom next to the playground so you don't have to drag the little ones too far to use it. The rest of the park has some reservable picnic table areas with BBQs. You'll find 2 tennis courts way in the back, and also a horseshoe pit. Sometimes you'll see people playing volleyball at the sand volleyball court. There is a path that makes a loop around the park. People like to use it to walk or run laps. There is a pond that used to be filled with an unnatural blue color water. This would attract Candadian Geese to the park and they made a big mess pooping all over the park. There was a time when it got so bad that you could not safely stroll along the walkway without running into geese poop. Trying to avoid these land mines is not a fun way to enjoy the park. They've since turned off the water features and the geese no longer plague the park. The park is definitely much cleaner now. There is a small parking lot by the playground and also street parking along the street that leads up to the parking lot. The parking lot dead ends, but they have designed a roundish area at the end -- this area is not designated for parking in -- at the end to help you make a u-turn to drive back out. Sometimes it is difficult to make this u-turn when people park in this area. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=a3c15emWpHiehs81jdgHHw&userid=isQotFiKU_S_TI4Qt4MtMQ https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=7OFU_4ZnZNDS9b1LMP3QtQ&userid=isQotFiKU_S_TI4Qt4MtMQ https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=rxdAa2RDw46kCSADO9H7hQ&userid=isQotFiKU_S_TI4Qt4MtMQ .
