a polymer log play area
Jay P.

Burning some time with the kids while my wife was finishing up work, cool neighborhood park that wasn't crowded and had a large play area, baseball field, basketball court, and well maintained flat field for children and pet activities. The play area has rubberized floor for safety, tents above the structures for some shade from the harsh cali summer sun, and very light touches of a log-cabin/ wood theme. For younger kids the most dangerous and sometimes fun areas are: -The larger slide, getting to the top is a bit sketchy with a small ladder you have to climb off of to the right instead of straight. The slide itself is almost hilariously tall with lots of bumps and tight curves that seem like they are designed to injure your kid, just look at the pictures. -Wave machine, if your kid is into space and nasa you can get them an early start by jumping on one end of this and launching them into orbit.

playground

park tucked away in the southeast corner of old country and holly...strange parking lot entrance between bab auto body and pho vinh strip mall from old country rd...finding a large grass field for soccer or other sports....picnic and bbq areas....basketball courts and handball wall....split fenced playground for toddlers and another for older....decent toddler playground with standard slide and climbing features....modern take on a seesaw...pretend house and balancing stumps and hideaways...larger playground housing swings and single large play structure....climb to the 1st level and a ladder to the 2nd level...higher than the norm and a large bumpy curvy slide to the bottom...little dangerous when wet, so ride with caution...no sand and a more sports focused park....

Very tall tree house type structure.

This park is NICE!! It is odd to get to so while it says Old Country Rd you turn by these auto shops (or something) and then there is the parking lot of the park. A nice grass area that is well kept. The actual park is GATED! That's right Mamas! A toddler Mom's dream ... There is a smaller park for the young ones. A large one - with a separate gate! Bathrooms are closed and were open on a Saturday. Both had great and challenging equipment. Not the usual bright color structures at all the parks. I really enjoyed it there. Definitely be going back.

Accessible swing
Denzo T.

This park has accessible swings, which is a great plus since they are hard to find. Thanks to the City for making these available. One item of note is that the chair height (distance from the bottom of the chair to the ground) is pretty low. So if you have an older child, their legs might hit the ground. City: it would be ideal to raise the height of the swing.

Neat park that is hidden off Old County Road. You have to bypass a bunch of auto mechanic shops before you see this playground.

Great park, just off Ralston. It has many amenities:…read morebenches to relax on, wide green grassy areas, walking spaces, activities areas, picnic benches. Places R's to walk. Best of all: music in the summer. Lots of places to eat nearby, or get it to go and have. Picnic.

There is so much work being done, the parks is unrecognizable since my first visit in a good way. They added benches and changed the landscape. There is a creek that flows through the middle, it's go running water since CA is officially no longer in a drought as of this review. Reservations a re available. Hours are form sunrise to sunset. "A lovely, intimate park located in a ravine alongside Ralston Ave north of El Camino in hilly Belmont. The park follows a babbling brook and includes lots of picnic areas and shady places to rest. Located just down Ralston before El Camino Real, Twin Pines is a 19-acre park owned by the city of Belmont, which houses the Belmont Historical Society Museum, Belmont Parks and Recreation, and the Senior and Community Center. The park is frequented by visitors picnicking and people attending various events throughout the year, including free afternoon concerts each Sunday in the summer - Hungarian Heritage Foundation The beautiful Twin Pines Park is home to Belmont City Hall and the Parks & Recreation Department. It is truly a treasure hidden in the middle of the city, where you will find a combination of rental facilities, parks, picnic areas, and short trails. Come explore the creek or simply enjoy a nice day outside with the fresh scents of nature! There is plenty of parking available. Open sunrise to sunset. See the expanded map here or here. Reservations: You can reserve picnic areas such as Buckeye, Redwood, or Meadow. Facility rentals accommodate 25-250 people and include the Cottage, Lodge, Manor, and Senior & Community Center. For the future of the park, check out the Twin Pines Park Master Plan and the Twin Pines Park Tree Succession Plan, a recommendation of the Master Plan. Organized activities (parties, professional photo shoots, meetings, retreats, etc) must make a reservation with the Belmont Parks & Recreation Department. Individual, drop-in use is available when there are no scheduled reservations." - https://www.belmont.gov/Home/Components/FacilityDirectory/FacilityDirectory/208/509 Park description and information from the official website.

Directions here were very easy to find, parking was very open with handicap spaces on an early…read moreMonday afternoon! I noticed they had outhouse style restrooms which were cleaned, stocked with toilet paper and hand sanitizer. The path down is slightly downhill, and is dirt paved. Wear shoes you definitely do not mind being covered in dirt. Maybe a three minute walk. There were people picnicking quietly for an afternoon date on the lawn with a blanket, that's a great idea. There is a large grass area for many families to enjoy together. Seeing it in person was really nice. Brought some teenage girls here who really enjoyed it. We enjoyed taking some pictures together. I definitely see why this area is used as a professional photography spot!! Will I come here again: if in the area and cooler weather absolutely for a gorgeous family style picnic!!

Pulgas Water Temple is definitely a unique little spot and the fact that it's completely free to…read morevisit is a huge plus. I can absolutely see why people stop here for photos and the dome and pool make for a very pretty setting. That being said, I spent maybe 10 minutes here before feeling like I had seen it all. There's not a lot to explore and my visit was made particularly less enjoyable by how crowded it was. There were at least three people doing elaborate professional photo shoots and dozens of what I can only describe as full-on Instagram productions happening around the area. It was noisy and there wasn't much room to move around and it really took away from what I imagine is a normally peaceful experience. I was here on a weekday afternoon as well so I'm not sure when a slower time might be to visit. I feel like I should preface this review with the fact that I stopped here immediately after spending the morning and early afternoon at Filoli, so in comparison it probably isn't helping me have a hugely favorable opinion of my experience here. There are also signs advising that no dogs are allowed, which I think is pretty ridiculous. This is definitely worth a quick stop if you're in the area, especially because parking is free and there's no admission fee. However, unless you are one of the people who are spread out on a blanket or carrying boxes of props for a full-on production, this is definitely not a place that you would spend very much time. For me it was an interesting, very quick, one time stop.
