The splash pads are definitely a highlight during the summer and are a great way for kids to cool off while having fun. I also appreciated that there are shaded areas around the playground. While the shade doesn't cover every part of the park, it does provide some relief from the sun, which is especially helpful on warm days. The only downside is that when the weather gets extremely hot, it can be difficult to enjoy the areas that aren't shaded.

We recently visited Rinconada Park on the Fourth of July and wanted to share our experience…read more Overall, we really enjoyed the park. The grounds were clean and well maintained, and we appreciated the variety of amenities, including the large pool, playgrounds, and tennis courts. It's a wonderful community space, especially for families. The only challenge we encountered was with the reservation system. Although we had a confirmed reservation for a picnic area, the table we reserved was already occupied by another group who declined to leave because they said they had arrived first. We attempted to contact park staff for assistance, but unfortunately the situation wasn't resolved, and we weren't able to use the area we had reserved. I think this could be greatly improved by placing clearly visible "Reserved" signs or labels on picnic tables with the reservation date and time. That would make it much easier for everyone to identify reserved areas and help prevent misunderstandings, especially during busy holidays and weekends. Despite this issue, we enjoyed our visit and appreciate all the work that goes into maintaining such a beautiful park. I hope this suggestion is helpful and helps make the reservation process smoother for future visitors.

Such a great park! I recently took my son and two of his little friends to Lakewood Park, and they…read morehad an awesome time. I was pleasantly surprised by how much the park has to offer. There are two separate play areas, a smaller one that seems perfect for toddlers and another for bigger kids. There are swings, the cutest little slides, and plenty of different activities to keep the kids entertained. I also really appreciated that it's an inclusive playground, with equipment that allows children with different abilities to participate and enjoy the space too. And they didn't forget about the parents! There's a walking path around the play area plus exercise equipment, so while the little ones are playing, Mom can get some steps in or even squeeze in a workout. The kids had a blast, and I loved the setup. Definitely a great spot for a playdate, some outdoor time, and a little exercise for Mom too! We'll absolutely be back.

Plans led us in this direction, since it was nearby we decided to check it out. We love exploring…read morenew spaces with our daughter especially playgrounds since she loves them. Lakewood Park is a beautiful, open space with play structures spread apart allowing each to be highlighted, explored and enjoyed individually. Multiple children are able to enjoy the same structure at once without fear of one stepping on the other or intruding on any small enclosed spaces. Our daughter weaved on and off different play structures during her time here, bouncing from one to another. Her engagement lasted about two hours. Each structure had so many spaces to explore, engage with and discover the different ways to interact with it. From the enclosed smaller kids play area, to the slides, swings in multiple variations, the exercise equipment, the webbed spinning globe, the three different seated spinners with one being wheel chair accessible, to the galactic looking structure with built in climbs, slides, crawl spaces and more. There are benches spread throughout the play area affording the big people places to sit and check in on their littles. One con is the lack of shaded seating or areas available to lessen sun exposure on intensely hot days. Today, the breeze was very present yet the sun shined brilliantly with temperatures near 80. I know it is certainly not the hottest of days Sunnyvale experiences, for the health of our daughter any temperature higher would not have permitted her to be present. Parking is street and limited for the number of visitors present. We are here on a Saturday afternoon, weekdays may prove different. There are no food stands close by, I would recommend bringing snacks and definitely having water on hand. There is a portion of park area under construction, thankfully it is contained and not available for littles to enter. I am excited to see what comes of the space. I would definitely recommend a visit, your little one with thank you. If you're not shy, your inner child with thank you too!

It's a peaceful and serene place to escape and unwind.
