Lovely park on a lovely day. Nice little park right off McBean Parkway. Google maps took me to the Summit YMCA and it is possible to park there though I assume it is discouraged generally. There is street parking and a park entrance on Del Monte Dr so if there is a negative to the park that's it, parking isn't a given. That however is fairly trivial relative to how nice the park is. You can: get your steps in. Walk your dogs. Picnic woth blanket or table. Get exercise and oooommmmmm, meditate to the tranquility of this little gem.

And as a small dog owner it's something I...

Besides being pretty it's great for children to play on swings and slides etc. Lots of people walk their dogs here and there is a group of fog owners who get to get her so their dogs can play and the owners can talk. I like to see that. Some people let their well behaved dogs off leash to run around the huge grassy area and the dogs love that of course. Besides all that the trails for walking are amazing. Pretty hilly though so you do get a good work out. The views are pretty . The walking trails end up in all different places out of the park. The trails are cemented....
