Nice big park that is nestled in a residential neighborhood. It has access to a small trail nearby but there's a lot to do here even without the trail. 4 well-maintained tennis courts, lots of lawn space, a paved path that goes through and around it, lots of shade, bbq spots. There were multiple parties here while we were here and was nice to see people out and about. read more

I was invited to this park for a puppy playdate. The park is nice, but even at 7 PM it was quite crowded. I wasn't able to scope out the entire park, but the park does have a few tennis courts (I believe 3 or 4). The tennis courts looked very well maintained and clean. There were a handful of people waiting to play. That should give you an idea of how busy this place can get. If you do not like off-leash dogs running around, this isn't the park for you. We met with a Mountain View local and he suggested the park is perfect. One side of the park was overly full with dogs running in all directions. We decided to go to the other side of the tennis courts to let our puppies play. The grass is very green and the park overall is really clean. For being dog friendly, I'm surprised there were no potty bags on site. So, if you plan on bringing your dog here, be sure to bring supplies to clean after your dogs. **This is not a fenced in dog park. So if you expect your dog to be off-leash, practice recall before you head over. read more

Nice green park nestled in an apartment lined neighborhood. I have gone to Whisman Park several times to watch my daughter's soccer games. Nice paved paths for walking, biking, roller blading or scootering. There is also a softball/baseball field. No much shade area at the soccer or baseball fields. No poop bags for dogs so if you take your dog out there with you make sure you take your own dukie bag. read more

Met a friend here and was a little underwhelmed. The grassy area is nice and flat, and I like that it is fenced off from the parking lot. However, the park is small, and the play structures are limited in scope. There are better parks in Mountain View. read more

This is a nice park near Mountain View companies, schools, apartments and eateries. It has tennis courts, a baseball field and open areas where dogs can run without a leash. You would often see runners, bikers, picnickers and people exercising during thought out the day. I enjoy my two mile walks thought this park in the afternoons. There is a trail with great scenery that leads you to Shoreline Park. read more

i only discovered this park when i had to take a pit stop while running along stevens creek trail in mountain view. there's actually a sign where the trail crosses the park that says "restrooms" which was super helpful. if you follow the paved trail to the far end of the park, there is a small building with separate men's and women's restrooms. i can't comment on the men's room, but the women's room has separate toilet stalls, toilet paper, and running water. no soap or paper towels, but not a big deal considering the fact that i was just going to continue with my run afterward. this park is quite large with lots of grassy areas, suitable for a picnic, throwing the ball around, or just relaxing with nature. there's also tennis courts and a baseball field available. if i lived closer, i would definitely visit this park more frequently. read more

Great little park that I always run through since it connects the Hetch Hetchy trail to the Steven's Creek Trail - they have tennis courts, a baseball field and a great field for kid's soccer. People bring their dogs out here all the time and often let them off leash since it is a pretty big and open space. read more

I would have given this park 4 stars, back in the day. I live in this neighborhood and have for 20+years. I've seen all the changes, my siblings used to go to the school there when it was Whisman School. Don't bother bringing your kids to this park during the weekday, it's so crowded and the parents barely watch their kids. If you have younger kids, 5 and under I would recommend Devonshire Park around the corner. P.S. If you need to use the restrooms, bring your own T.P. cause it's never stocked. You're welcome. read more

Street or school parking lot parking. Bathroom - not too clean but usable Plenty of benches but you need to reserve early. Playground appropriate for kids if you plan to host a kids party. Some shady trees available if it's a hot day. read more

What's not to like about this park. There's plenty of BBQ areas, open space, baseball field, tennis courts, plenty of parking, and it provides easy access to Stevens creek trail. It's safe, and a very comfortable place to have a party, hang out with the family, or just spend some alone time. I believe it's also dog friendly. read more

Smaller neighborhood park, off the Hetch Hetchy trail. Its not far from the Google Quad campus, making it a nice lunchtime jogging destination. A little shy on amenities, but not unexpected for a small park. Tennis courts are also a nice addition, and usually available for a walk-on practice session. 7-11 is nearby if you forgot your water bottle or need a quick snack. read more

I used to love this park before I learned they "treat" it w/ pesticides - awful!

I'm afraid the previous reviewer is mistaken. Whisman Park is actually the name of a city park in Mountain View adjacent to Whisman School on Easy Street (North of Middlefield Road). The facility on Kent Drive is not a public park, most likely a private area for tenants of the apartment complex. Follow this link for a map of this and other Mountain View city parks: http://www.mountainview.gov/civica/filebank/blobdload.asp?BlobID=4464 read more

Whisman park is a nice little park with walking paths, a baseball area and tennis courts. The courts are for public use and maintained well. There are public restrooms and parking for about 25 cars. The best thing that I like about the park is there is a small path that connects to the stevens creeks trail. A good jog of about 2.0 miles would lead you to shoreline park and bay trail. read more

This small park is in the middle of the Whisman Station housiing ddevelopment. There's a pleasant fountain and the grass is usually unoccupied. read more

Neither of these is quite correct. The original post describes Magnolia Park. Magnolia Park sits in the middle of the Whisman Station housing development, at the corner of Magnolia Lane and Whisman Park Drive. The surrounding development consists entirely of private homes, but the city required the development to include some public park areas. Magnolia Park does have a nice grassy area, a fountain, and a children's play area. read more
