De Anza Park — Attraction in Sunnyvale

Groves of mature redwoods make this neighborhood park especially nice. It's not the same as actually being in a redwood forest, but it's a good second best when you can't get away from the city. The park also has two grassy expanses, one flat for ball play, and one with miniature rolling hills. There's a sandy playground for the kids, with plenty of jungle gym equipment and swings. There's one baseball diamond, and a wall for bouncing tennis balls, but no tennis or basketball courts. (There are tennis courts just a block away on Remington.) There's a big paved circular area that would be great for roller skating, or even dancing - if only there were music, it would be perfect. There's a small group picnic area with a barbeque, a community meeting room, an even a little...

There were so many playgrounds here! My favorite is the orange pirate ship themed one, DeAnza Dan. There was also an old school, tall metal slide. There were a lot of swing sets! There were also a few playgrounds fenced off (maybe under repair). Hopefully they finish soon. This park is great for kids. I wish they had this when I was little.

The downsides were that it's very close to the street and not fenced off, so it was easy for my 16 mon old to walk to the sidewalk/street.

There also weren't any other kids there....

This park has a wonderful playground area - the ground is squishy and soft, good for little ones and older tired feet.

Plenty of brightly colored play structures for every type of adventure.

Lots of benches, picnic tables in sun and shade, bathrooms, and a large green field.

Parking lot available, though it seemed a bit full on a Saturday afternoon. Street parking available nearby.

I saw several paved walking trails so one can enter the park from different sides...
