Niles Town Plaza is the vibrant soul of Old Niles—where history, community, and relaxed atmosphere meet. Whether you're here for a stroll, a concert, or to pop into the depot museum, it’s the perfect starting point for enjoying this hidden-gem neighborhood in Fremont.

While it is not a HUGE park, it does its job well, nestled in a very community driven...
