Mountain View has many parks, and Fairmont Park seems like one of the smallest…read more The park has modest features: * A sandy area with a small play structure and toddler swings * A couple benches * A shaded grassy area with 3 small picnic tables * A bike rack The entire park is fenced off, with only one opening at the entrance. There is a drinking fountain but no restrooms. The park seems to be upkept well by the city. This is not a destination park, but it's a nice asset to the neighborhood nearby.

What a quaint little neighborhood park that is a small well shaded park that is completely fenced…read moreoff with the exception of the entrance. I would say that this is a nice park to take small children to since it is very well surrounded by a fence, which adds to a level of security that is not always available at many of the other parks I have been to with Mamba (my dog). I spend over an hour at this park this morning with my sister and Mamba. During our visit there were no other visitors. How nice it was to sit under the trees in the picnic area during the early Sunday morning hours and just relax, chat and sip on our ice coffees. Amenities include the following: Picnic tables Benches Preschool aged play structure and sand pit area Nice green lawns Doggie poop bags

This trail connects the Foothill College campus with adjacent neighborhoods. It's just a quick,…read moreeasy jaunt out my front door to the nearest part of the trail, and before long I'm strolling through neighborhoods and cruising by small family-owned farms and vineyards and all the while I'm getting a bit of vitamin D and a little exercise and some precious alone time. It's not an extensive trail network, nor is the trail very long, but it does wind through some very pretty neighborhoods that are awfully pretty and interesting to explore in themselves. If you run out of real estate on the trail, simply start exploring the nearby neighborhoods off the trail. It's sufficiently hilly and I've only once ever seen anyone else on it. I docked a star partly for how short the trail is, but mostly because it's often hard to determine exactly where the trail goes. Once I ended up at the far end of a giant field, feeling certain that the trail must go in this direction, only to discover that I was suddenly in someone's backyard with no sign of the trail to be had. Reluctantly I retraced my steps and ended up running on the road rather than trying to bushwhack through the woods or zig-zag across open fields. Otherwise, the trail is beautiful and serene and a great opportunity for some exercise and fresh air.

The "Moffett Bay Trail" is 97% representative of all the trails throughout the Bay Area. [The…read moreremaining 3% are the yet-to-be-improved (AWS) or connected/segregated trails.] I have thoroughly enjoyed the segregated status of a well-maintained/relatively smooth/wide gravel track just above sea level. It is SO NICE to not be on busy city streets, though sometimes there can be a bit of congestion with other trail users. And the weather is pretty darn nice--I compare it very favorably to the slightly superior "International Ft. Hancock - Las Cruces I-10 Bicycle Bypass" (in the not-quite-a-mile/~1.6 kms high "¡Hidden Gem of the World, Crossroads of North America, anchored by El Paso, Cd. Juárez y Las Cruces!"); the former in the rain shadow of the Santa Cruz Mountains, the latter in the Northern Chihuahua Desert. I highly recommend it for a long level route, connecting Stevens Creek Trail/Mountain View with Caribbean Drive/Sunnyvale. I've cycled it in both directions, and actually saw an unmarked dirigible overhead, sailing around Southbay, practicing navigation/maneuvers before landing back in the super-secret Lockheed-Martin/Moffett base/Google complex. ¡So interesting, and definitely has my coveted "iWheel of Approval!"

I survived Mission Peak!!!…read more We met at 5:30 am, we wanted to beat the sun and I do suggest you do this as early as possible My first time doing this trail. Would I do it again.....Probably NOT mainly because of the rocks that you will be walking over for 6 miles back and forth Reaching the top is very satisfying and rewarding, you would think the way down would be easy but due to the rocks its not as you have to be mindful of how you step so you dont end up in a helicopter At some point there is a bathroom and a bench to sit and rethink your life choices We did come across some cows and of course cow poop Bring water, electrolytes and tissue.

Just a street away from supermarkets, cafes and popular eateries, Northgate Community Park is a common suggestion in between errands, especially if it involves playgrounds. It's also just a few blocks from the highway entrance which makes this place an easy meet up spot for out of towners. Parking is abundant in the private lot but also plenty available along the street. The kids have a great time here due to the open play area and variety of modalities within the play structures. The play structures were recently upgraded and includes swings, slides, climbing walls, ropes, balance beams and steps. The ground is all padded and there are plenty of benches for those looking to have a comfortable vantage point to keep an eye on your little ones. For field activities, they have two large grass fields frequently used as cricket fields with some local pick up games. The perimeter is also very walkable with paved sidewalks for those looking for a route for their four legged furry friends. Basketball courts are also available but pretty limited. For families looking for a spot to hang, they have a nice picnic area with benches and tables, however, it's not shaded so you may want to bring your own covering or find a spot on the grass instead. There aren't that many spots so you may also want to come early to reserve them or go through the city to secure a spot. They had bathrooms before but I believe they were under maintenance when we last visited and they only had the portable potties available. Overall, Northgate Community Park has some of the most unique playground structures and best maintained in the area. Its location is also a highly travelled one for those aiming to couple the day outside with a meal or some productivity. This quiet park is frequented by locals and you're bound to meet some new friends from the neighborhood!
