We came here for a kid's birthday party, and this park is so nice!…read more It's very spacious, lots of free parking, and lots of features. There is an extensive playground with different types of swings, merry-go-round things, a large playhouse thing, and several slides on a little hill on the playground. In the area with the slides they have turf material and there is a recycling box with cardboard so that kids can use it and also sled down the hill. They have different types of courts like for basketball, pickleball, tennis, baseball. There is lots of space to walk on the gravel path, and there is sort of a pond area (which appears to be less maintained). There are many picnic areas that are shaded too. I really liked that the area the birthday party was located had a gate so that kids wouldn't run out and away. The playground also had a gate on it too, which is great for childrens' safety and parents' ease of minds! We noticed the bathrooms are somewhat high tech with lights to activate the automatic doors and lights to indicate that the bathroom is occupied. I didn't go in, so I can't comment on cleanliness/upkeep. Wish this kind of park was more common. I would highly recommend this park!

The fact alone that this park has bathrooms makes it awesome…read more I have been coming to this park my entire life. It has definitely gotten some upgrades. New magical bridge playground opens this weekend. It's not even open yet and it looks beautiful so far :) It has a dog park, a trail, a basketball court, a tennis court, and a baseball field. I almost forgot, the ducks! It has a lake with ducks! I like walking the trail because there are plenty of trees which creates shade, so it's not just sunny. The bathrooms are located in between the tennis courts and the baseball field. Also, parking is free! Anyone can come with children, strollers, solo individuals, people with dogs, anyone. Everyone is in their own world, living their life with nature.

Ok so supposedly it cost six dollars to get in to the parking lot. Um... the parking lot I went…read moreinto had nowhere to pay, none, zip,zippo, nadda "not that I'm complaining lol!! Looks like they are doing seismic retrofitting stuff so we couldn't walk over this cool bridge that was over the stream, lots of chain link fence and construction going on... sad face. Wifey and I were able to sit on a bench near the stream "which honestly was quite beautiful if you didn't look to far up" We sat there for about 2 hours watching the Black Phoebe's fly around catching bugs. Beyond that there doesn't seem to be much else going on in this parking lot site. There is another entrance, haven't been there as of yet, maybe that entrance will be better.

Lake it Easy This…read more±4,300sq ft county park is home to Santa Clara County's largest reservoir at a whopping ±1,300sq ft. (±7 miles long). The Good: *Visitor Center at 19425 Malaguerra Ave, Morgan Hill, CA *First come, first served picnic tables *hiking trails *Horses welcome *Dogs are welcome The Meh: *Only a few miles of trails are currently open *$6/day entrance fee The Ugly: *A large part of the park is currently closed due to seismic retrofit construction project and not expected to re-open until 2030--if we're lucky! *Access to the lake--including fishing--is currently prohibited due to the construction. Conclusion: Not really worth a visit until after the construction project is done.

We came here a couple times during the pandemic and this part (1 of 3) dog parks were closed off at…read morethe time. I'm glad they opened it back up! The other 2 (small and large) dog parks across the walkway were a decent size as well, but all dirt and gravel. Our huskies wanted to sniff that area, since their seemed to be ground squirrels or moles living in the other dog park too. Hahaha This grassy side was nice and clean-free of dog poop and even had some chairs for people to sit in. We always walk with our puppies, but the chairs were a nice touch as well. It's $6 for a day pass to park at this park and/or the larger park around the corner with a playground, reservable table sites, a lake and water play structure for the children to play in. So $6 and if you bring your own food, one could play/hangout all day here! Hee. We'll be back!

This is long overdue, but 0/10 stars…read more In September 2025, my dog was attacked here. It was unprovoked, and the owner gave me a fake number. I think the dog's name was Koda. I highly encourage you not to go to this location and to please take care of your pups The parking fee is $6, which is a rip-off. You can park for free outside the perimeter off of Tuers Rd/McLaughlin Ave. There is a gate there and street parking

This is a horrible dog park. The best part is that it is fenced and has a water faucet…read more Annie had a great time meeting 4 overized loveable dogs. Had they not been there, this trip would have been pathetic. There is just old gravely dirt and no sign of grass for miles. Not that it has to have an apparatus for the dogs to play in, on, or under, but that would be nice. If you're in the area, there's a dog park in Morgan Hill on Edmunson that has grass.

I went today to the Gilroy, CA dog park for the first time. No one was there so I can't give it any…read moremore than 3 stars because half the experience is the people and dogs who go there. Due to that, I will just tell you what you need to know about layout. The Gilroy Dog Park is located in a nice city park with plenty of parking, bathrooms, & picnic tables in the park. I *loved* the multiple signs pointing the way to the dog park! The park appears to be maintained. In the dog park there is: A section for "small dogs" & a section for "large dogs" (not the typical small & ALL sections I am used to). Small dogs can go into the large area *at owners risk* (typical of my other dog parks). Note: I have a "small" dog but almost always go into the "all" dog sections of dog parks. The dog park has lots of trash cans, doggie poop bags in dispensers posted in many locations, shade, benches, fresh water in both sections, "push bar" gates, 4 foot fences and a bulletin board. The ground appears to be dirt but it might be "decomposed granite" that needs to be refreshed (see photos). My only complaint was that the water drain on the "big dog section" was clogged and backed up, I am currently asking around for who to contact to fix it. Today, 18 July 2012, it was only 84 degrees at 12 noon. Hopefully this is not the lamest review I have ever given for a dog park.....but I did want to 1.) add this dog park in Yelp (check), 2.) tell ya'll what you should know (check) and post multiple *good* photos (check). If I go back, if my dog gets to play with others I would be happy to give the place more stars. I am *not* from Gilroy nor do I go to Gilroy often, but my 2 year old dog has gone to more than 30 dog parks and I have something to offer in that department.

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.
