    Picnic tables with bbq pits
    Victor G.

    Peter T. Gill Memorial Park is a small neighborhood park in Milpitas. it's a small grass area surrounded by many amendities: children's playground, basketball court, picnic tables with bbq pits, softball field, grass, and a traiways leading elsewhere. small parking area where the basketball court is.

    Pickleball court
    Melissa M.

    Pickleball courts. That's enough for 5 stars. Both courts gated, next to clean bball hoops. Grassy area. Sandy playground. Enough for everyone. I love it. Bathrooms are above average when I say clean, it's got toilet paper and seat covers!

    We've been to the tennis courts twice now on Saturday afternoons and most of the courts have been free both days which is rare for tennis courts! This park is extremely out of the way from where we live, but I love that they're always empty and clean. It's nice that there are 3 courts at this park since most parks usually only have 2 courts. The only thing that would make these courts better is if there was a fence separating the individual courts so tennis balls wouldn't roll onto other courts.

    Restrooms

    Restrooms are above average as far as public restrooms in community parks go. Men and women each have a single stall, open-ish ceiling with fully stocked toilet paper, seat liners, and hand soap. What more could you ask for?! Park (& restroom) Hours = Dawn to 10:00pm daily

    The most beautiful park I have seen in Milpitas so far. Yesterday I went for a picnic during my lunch break and my colleague and I adored every minute of our visit, especially because we were NOT the only ones carrying one of those cute wicker baskets but also because the walking path was so long we could not finish. So we ate and exercise in a very nice surrounding. What a great combo, totally recommendable. The park is super clean, it was picture perfect. Manicured grass, well cut plants and trees, combination of shade areas and pure down the sun spots with lots of trash cans and also a very decent bathroom. Covered and uncovered BBQ areas as well as tennis courts and areas to practice other sports. This is the ideal park and the houses nearby are so lucky to be in such ideal location.

    Soccer field

    It's a great place for some outdoor activities. Great trail nearby for walking. The play structure is decent and have sand as well for some sand play.

    Baseball field

    This park is GREAT! It has everything! Large baseball field where you can close all the gates and dugouts and let your dogs run around (it's like an unofficial dog park depending what time of day you go) and I haven't stepped on any poop so I'm assuming dog owners are pretty responsible around here. POOP bags, THICK poop bags are available at certain spots around the park and they refill them Water fountains! Basketball courts, tennis courts, walking paths, picnic tables, shade, wall for hand ball, benches, bleachers, play ground areas with sand, parking lot and street parking, bathrooms! Vending machines. Overall clean, trash bins are never overflowing with trash like some other parks, and overall not ghetto considering the houses surrounding it are nice.

    Playground next to baseball field.

    Great, large park. Tennis courts (always in use, so get here early, very early), tennis walls and basket ball court. Large baseball field, plus tremendous amount of open field for soccer, volleyball, etc. Also has two playgrounds plus covered and uncovered BBQ areas. Next to slightly busy streets, so keep an eye on the kids.

    Hidden Lake is a great serene park for having lunch, watching ducks, and a great place to exercise…read more Get your steps in at this park by walking around the lake or if you go up the steps there is a pathway that is nicely paved. Ride your bike around the lake or if you have a little one have them burn their energy riding a bike, scooter, or roller skate. Plenty of people are there especially in the morning so I have always felt safe. I have seen some people fish here at different times of the day. It has a small parking lot located in a safe neighborhood. There are no bathrooms at this park.

    ***the lake itself is part of a community called HIDDEN LAKE as well***…read more OVERALL: Meh. Wouldn't go out of my way to drive here to walk; therefore the 4 stars rating. Due to being part of a community, there are a ton of guest parking (especially near the gates to this park) BUT if you keep driving, the parking lot for this "park" is on the outside (you turn in with the sign "HIDDEN PARK LAKE" in green lettering/tanish brown background and there are a few spots for you to pick from). Two stairways up to other flat cement ground trails. Very quarry lake vibes but not much water. Lake itself is a smaller circular flat cement ground leveled trail. Regarding up the stairs: One way does end up at another park whereas the other way just ends up in another neighborhood/main road. Lack of shade. Lots of ducks. There's few places to sit. Few trash bins. No visible toilets.

Definitely meant for the surrounding neighborhoods. There are multiple entrances but are basically towards the end of each street. It seems dog friendly enough with a dog enclosure and easy to stroll around and walk your dog. There's a nice grassy area in the center and I noticed a few instances of owners playing catch with their dogs off-leash. There are picnic tables by the playground and public bathrooms all in the same area. The only water fountain I found was by the picnic/playground/bathroom area and it had a lower fountain for dogs. **Dog park: The dog area was really small, all dirt with one bench. Big dog and small dog are separated but the size is pretty similar to each other with the big dog having just a LITTLE bit more space. It was empty for me except for 1 dog owner but I wonder if there would be more dogs after-work hours for some socialization :-) you would have to walk a little but further down to the main area for water fountain.

    This is a hidden gem of a park in a quiet neighborhood in Milpitas. We were looking for local parks…read morethat were suitable for a toddler play date and decided to check out this place in person. We wanted to find a park that is relatively new/in good condition and not too crowded to let the little ones safely play. I'm honestly surprised that this isn't a more popular place to bring your kids. I suppose a part of it is because it is a neighborhood park without dedicated parking, although there is plenty of street parking. With that being said, the play area is gated so it is safe to let your children roam with supervision, the play structures are all in very good condition and the padded flooring is intact across the park. Very suitable for toddlers and older children, they even have a baby changing station inside of the bathroom, as well as adequate drinking fountains and drinking fountains for dogs. We were there on a Saturday morning, from 9 to 10am and were the only family there the entire time. This is completely different compared to some of the other parks in Sunnyvale or San Jose, where it can become a zoo by that time. We will definitely be setting up future play dates here.
