This is a great space! We found this on a whim. Open lawn for tossing a ball/frisbee and picnic. There is sand in the playground area, with wood chips beneath the swings. The play area is fenced in with a toddler fence. There are a few park benches to sit and enjoy a rest. The infamous concrete slide, best used with cardboard pieces. Both my 4 and 10 yo enjoyed the space. Next time we’ll pack scooters for the paths, and be more prepared for a longer stay. Cooler, activities and such. The adults seemed kind and mostly kept to themselves while kiddos played. There is also a private area for a community garden with plots. Nice to see and lends a sense of community vibes. We will be back for sure.

Fun filled park for kids. It's walking distance from Palo Alto Caltrain station, and from downtown Palo Alto. There's a large field next to the park for frisbee, dogs etc. The park itself has a delightful number of slides, swings, seesaw, sand pit and a tall play structure with multiple climbing walls. No restrooms.

Great park & playground for all ages. Sandboxes, swings, slides. Bring some cardboard for the concrete slide or take a chance finding some left over. Beautiful community garden. Plenty of trees with shade. Grassy areas to lay out a blanket or many benches with backs to sit. Nice walking path around the park as well.

Huge lawn in this park, located in a quiet residential area less than a mile from downtown palo alto. Huge trees provide some great shade. There are two small gardens located next to the playground that have seasonal flowers and perhaps vegetables. Basketball and volleyball courts. Really nice park.

Good little park with playground, community garden, picknick tables, grass field and volleyball/basketball courts The only thing missing is a bathroom -1⭐ There is a Little Free Library across the street 📚
