Judy Margaret Chen: ★★★★
A decent park in the city. Makes a nice walk with companions or alone. There are swimming pools, playground, picnic areas and other entertainment venues nearby such as Palo Alto zoo and art centers.
Steve Zhang: ★★★★★
This is nice and pretty new playground just next to the junior museum and zoo. It has big space and two major structures targeting for both big and small kids. The high slide is amazing. Overall it’s nice place to do some extra energy discharging for your kids after visiting the zoo..
Henry Wang: ★★★★★
The part is well Ming can pierce the playground. Have many kids. The equipment are very. Do you want to chat newrecommended
Gabriel Young: ★★★★★
Very large park really well located on the free cross city bus line, and next to the library and arts center. There are tennis courts and basketball courts here, as well as large open grassy areas and other areas completely shaded by large trees. There are a few playground areas and a school connected to the park which is fenced off. The star of the show is an olympic style pool, which looks to be in great condition. Its a great place to bring kids or just watch the local wildlife.
