Eagle Park — Attraction in Mountain View

My favourite park in Mountain View. There’s swings, a few picnic tables (first come first serve) and lots of room to play soccer, volleyball, etc. The park has off leash hours in the morning during the week, but if you come early you’ll find a few dogs on the weekends as well. The dogs here tend to be very well behaved and the people who bring their dogs are very attentive since the park isn’t fully enclosed. This may not be a good option for you if your dog doesn’t have good recall as it’s possible for dogs to run out of the park onto Shoreline which is a busy street. There is also a water fountain that dogs can use but unfortunately a lot of time you’ll find sand or something that keeps the water from draining properly likely due to the proximity to the playground for kids. Good spot to come on weekends, throw down a blanket,...

Pros: Good playground with sand and slides The playground is surrounded by trees, and there are benches nearby to sit and watch the children.

Cons: The grass field is often occupied by dogs. That has the following problems: Poops on the grass land. Dogs run off the leash and that is not safe for children to play around. There is a water tap in the playground which some children love to play with ( including mine ). That causes a lot of trouble for parents: Constantly have to monitor your kid and talk them out of playing with water. Otherwise they can mix the water with sand and quickly get soaking wet and super dirty. Sometimes kids who play with the water splash it and wet other...

Large spacious grass area for dogs to run free. There is an off leash time in the morning when a group of dog owners gathers in the middle with their dogs.

Took my dog there twice while I was visiting a friend and she loved it.

You do need to have a good voice control, though, as a Park is not totally enclosed.

There is a water fountain for dogs and humans and a toilet for humans nearby. Dedicated parking lot.

Nice to walk the dogs around the neighborhood from there through downtown...
