Loved this trail. Very peaceful and well kept. Trail was clean and people were friendly (all while continuing to social distance) Beautiful trees as well.

A gem of a park! Quite area, large green open spaces, plenty of shade and sun. Great for kids and families, and for everyone to walk around. The donkeys are also exciting to the kids.

Really nice park with a small kids playground! There is also a walking/bike trail right by the park that is paved. It passes by the Matedeor creek and is approximately 1 mile one way. There is also a donkey farm along the way

Such a phenomenal park! Plenty of open grass to duty on or run around on. Trails and redwoods surround the grass area and the childrens play area. The donkies are wonderful and friendly Great for kids, families, dogs and relaxing!

Nice grassy park with tall trees and a number of benches around the perimeter. No restroom, so go beforehand.

Beautiful, peaceful park. Would definitely come back.

Really fun place, always pleasant to work or chill out!

A good sized park for kids and events. Large field and decent kid playground adjacent a good walking/running path.

Nice place for walking and biking. Well maintained trails.

A small park with an extended surrounding. Donkeys are a fun surprise for kids.

My family loves going here.

Not many old school big grassy parks. where local family events still happen, its the last holdout around Palo Alto.

Cool little park with a creek and bike path running through it.-play structure-toddler sand pit-picnic tables-redwoods by the creek!!-street parking-No Toilets

One of my fave parks. Tucked away in a residential area, this park goes so far back, it could be a driving fairway. Lined by redwoods, with a shady picnic area along Matadero Creek, its the perfect spot for family picnic or hike along its back trail. The bridge across the creek was built in 1933 and the donkey on the sign is there because it was a pasture for a few of them, many years ago.

Great space, but no public restroom.

Wonderful shade on hot day and beautiful creek

Great little park, with swings,a fairly big open field, and cute donkeys to visit!

Great place to have a walk or run.

Its big! Theres a trail. Places to walk. Shade trees. A playscape for kids. Places to sit. Parking. It has it all -- except a view.

Wonderful park for kids to play and run. A hidden community gem.

Bol park is home to two donkeys! Great bike/walking trails. Chicken coop, playground and lots of open grassed area.

Its nice to have such a lost world of nature in the heart of a metropolitan area. The Observatory is a nice place to start, as opposed to the base of the hill, and dont have to worry much about getting lost or overcommitting to a journey longer than anticipated, which is easy to do in that area.

I love the scenic drive and looking at all the beautiful homes in the area.

Peaceful hike with a sweet curious donkey to hang out with.

This is a great park with a playground, lots of grass, creek access, and a path leading to donkeys, and if you follow it further you get to Gunn high school and you can take it all the way to Los Altos.

Great place to walk around

Lovely place

Nicely maintained. Safe. Beautiful

Beautiful pastoral landscape, fun play structures, and donkeys!

Nice play ground. Nice trail that goes a few miles. Fun to see the donkey and chicken. Close to Barron Park elementary.

Nice park

Secluded park with a great playground for kids.

Nice park. Good walking and the donkeys are a nice plus.

Nice small neighborhood park with a few swings and slides. Highlight is the donkeys down the trail

Lots of open space, with adequate room for flying drones and other aerial toys. Donkeys here are friendly and great to meet as well.

I love my neighborhood park! NIce open green and a lovely place. No bathrooms, though.

Great little community park and the donkeys are fun

We loved it!!! Donkeys feeding starts at 5pm.

Great park to go to, especially on nice sunny weather.

Excellent place for summer creek exploration for toddlers and young preschoolers! Bring water shoes for you and your little one. Water was only 2-3 inches deep today so perfect for the very young ones. Saw two donkeys (heard that you can send letters to them by dropping at the mailbox in front of the barn), and quite a few noisy hens and a rooster. The bike path is popular and rather busy. The play structures are excellent but there was hardly any shade by noon.

Great walking and biking trail

Lovely rustic park in the middle of town. Beautiful creekside views, donkeys, play area and wide open grass. No toilets though!

The playground for kids is nice and clean and there is a huge grass stretch perfect for people and dogs alike. It is also not overly crowded.

Great Community park. Play structure, grass, trees and walking path.

Beautiful, interesting walking. A nice variety of flora, fauna and water features.

Great park with a stream and donkeys

Lovely park, big grass field, access to the creek, nice play structures, and a bike path behind it, which I use to get to school everyday.

Great green areas to play soccer and other games, nice playground with climbing frame and swings and also the opportunity to meet real donkeys and feed hens!

A long narrow city park. The north end has some popular playgrounds and gardens. The south end is mostly a bike path out to Gunn High School. No toilets anywhere in the park and the toilets at Gunn are not open to the public.

Its a great park for both kids and dogs. But there is no public restroom.

Great for a walk and biking with family specifically great for kids as they can see some animals in a close by enclosure.

Lovely neighborhood park ... with donkeys! (Down the bike path a ways from the playground). Perry, the younger of the two, was the model for Shrek. You can get down to Matadero creek from a little access slot, though be on the lookout for poison oak. Theres none on the main path down to the creek, but kids that go scrambling around on the sides may get a surprise. Swings, slides - the usual playground equipment. Nice grassy area for soccer, and in good weather, the Barron Park Association holds festivals and movies on the occasional weekend.

Long, beautiful park by the Palo Alto donkeys. Wonderful for walks

Nice small park, playground. Donkeys farm nearby! )

Excellent park to hang out

Calm and quite place to have an evening walk. Reminded me of Shrek cartoon after meeting Perry, Niner donkies there.

Wonderful calm place to come to with kids. The playground structure is not great for toddlers though.

Great local park. Beware there are no restrooms nearby.

This park is a fun place to go with your kids or even just you! I say go to the bathroom before leaving on to the trail

There are donkeys here, a playground, and there is a nice little path to walk on.

A nice and calm park to have family time and fun....

Parking is easy, the playground is close and there are picnic tables.

Classic Palo alto park.

This long stretch of green by a shady creek feels like a big slice of nature. Come see the burros.

Nice little park with donkeys nearby

Trees
