Love this park and it is well maintained. The Rangers are friendly and nice to see people working in the garden. There are always people there walking, biking or jogging. I think people walk there dogs should keep them close when walking by others. There dog might be friendly but people need to think of those who are afraid of dogs. I dont like hearing dont worry he doesnt bite and he is a good dog Some people are afraid of dogs regardless of what you say. I do have to say though,it doesnt happen that often. Most people are good pet owners here.

I really like this park. Not to crowded, you can bring pets,nice walking or running paths. They do have bathrooms. Parking inside or outside of park optional. A lovely park.

Just discovered this park. Absolutely love it. The visitors center is amazing with lots of local history. Volunteers are very friendly. If you have a 4 legged friend they can become a Bark Ranger.The bathrooms are clean and new.The playground is amazing. So many cool places for kids to climb and play. We love this place. And it’s very calm and relaxing. So many birds singing. Love it.

Wonderful place for both adults and kids. Park is very large and expansive and has several parts. Start with the visitor center - lots of history and very helpful rangers. From there you can bike, hike, roller skate along park’s long paths or head to the playground. It’s quite unique with wooden animal statues that kids can ride and play with. There are a lot of succulents planted everywhere with helpful tags explaining their purpose and how to care for them. We saw people launching rocket models in the large grass area, people biking around, having picnics (many very well maintained picnic tables all over the place). The only problem is finding shade - this place is quite flat and though they have planted trees they are still pretty small.Restrooms - plenty and clean.Parking - $6 entrance or outside on street.Stroller friendly - yes.

Great park with lots of open space and trails. Great for walking, running, skating, biking, etc.

One of my favorite places to walk with the kids. It’s enclosed so they can safely ride their bikes, roller blade, & skate board Without worrying about cars. It’s a good 4 mile walk for me, sometimes we do it twice. I take my dog as well, they have doggy bag dispensers throughout the path, and a super clean bathroom. I just love coming here it’s literally one of my favorites places to walk.

Always beautiful. The garden is really cool; Im excited for the fruit trees.

Safe convenient, blessings as walk and pray for my future Husband Pastor Kevin Williams and our Children and our congregation Oasis Church and amazing School Program Kingdom Krew

Good walking park, playgrounds. Walking path in warm/hot weather is very uncomfortable. The park needs to add mature trees along the walking paths. Grateful the park was added to the area, and perhaps over time, itll get more amenities.

Good place to scooter and bike with kids. Well maintained and toilets are excellent. Many young trees so shade is not plentiful. Playground fun and good.

A collaboration between the county of Santa Clara and the State of California, this public park is situated on 287 acres. The property was donated by Mr Walter Cottle and family. The idea here is to represent the farming past of this part of San Jose. There is a working farm, a Master Gardeners plot and Our City Forest. additionally there is a very nice visitor center, great childrens playground and many barbecue areas. Parking is $6 a vehicle or you can bike and ride there for free. Extensive pass around the perimeter of the park and through the recreational areas make for a great place to bike ride. Family friendly and flat although afternoons can be very windy. It is a farm that has become a new park so there is not a ton of shade trees but there are some shaded areas to picnic. #SanJose #BlossomHill #Park #FamilyFun

I love this park. I have had some amazing times there. Its a great place to getaway and just be by yourself and think.

Plenty of space for any activity you like.

The park is huge for Social Distancing. Great foe running, jogging or biking.

One of my favorite places to walk with these children. It is enclosed in order that they can safely ride their bicycles, rollerblade, & skateboard without fretting about automobiles. It is a great 4-mile walk to me, occasionally we do it double. I just enjoy coming here it is literally one of my favorites places to walk.

Love this place, great for walks and small pinics

Brought my grandkids and their bike and tricycle and we went on the walk paths. We brought our masks and enjoyed ourselves.

Lots of open grassy area, but no place to let dogs off leash.

This is a beautiful park. It has huge, green grassy fields that are very well kept, and two playgrounds for young children. A large walking trail is along the perimeter of the farm, but you can also walk through the center. The park often holds community events to get people together. It’s very child and pet friendly.

Its a beautiful place to take a walk

This place is amazing! Ive been coming here since theyve renovated and it never ceases to amaze.

One of San Jose newest parks, got to love it due to a little history, great maintenance and view of mt. Umunhum. The trials are short but sweet.

Great place for walking, running, biking, family activities, BBQ, fun place for kids, group picnic.

Great place for biking and exercise! I love this park

The park is in the middle of the city, yet there is plenty of wildlife and miles of paved trails.

The view of the sunset is AMAZING

Its a great place to go for a walk.

Very spacious and peaceful for evening Walk

Great trail, not much tree shadow though. If your are planning to walk during the day, dont forget to apply sunscreen. It has barbeque place and dining tables for bbq.

Great open space. Good areas to play and 4h animals to visit with permission from the handlers there. Nice park rangers and lots of dogs to see. Good place to take kids to play and explore.

Today my wife and went to Martial Cottle Park. It was our first time to the park. We went to do our walking/jogging on the routes. Our son and daughter in law told us this is the best place to walk. They recommended this Martial Cottle Park to us.We completed our walk/jogging today and we are both happy about it too. We also had questions about the park and we asked one of the workers. Jeremy C. answered all our questions and he was very pleasant. Jeremy’s knowledge of the history of Martial Cottle Park was very impressive and factual. Thank you Jeremy for taking the time to answer our questions and sharing your knowledge of Martial Cottle Park with us.Great place to go to for training, leisure and agricultural learning. Fun place to go to with lots of activities for everyone.

Beautiful park

By far the best park in the Bay Area. One of the newest. Everything is in top notch shape. Very large grounds. Never feels crowded. Kids Play area is unique and modeled like a farm. Several picnic areas available and rest rooms are clean.The park hosts so many events each year. Just went to the VivaCalle SJ and Oct 6th is the Harvest Festival. These are some of the best free public events in the south bay. Parking is always $6 a day or $2/hr if visiting for shorter duration.

Perfect place for walking/jogging/running. Nice place for picnic/party celebration.

LOTS of free parking on Chynoweth plus a paid parking lot in the center. Very popular with runners and walkers with dogs and kids. Bathrooms and tables in the middle of the park, plus a nice play area for children.

The trails were kinda hard to identify and differentiate. Decent views, good workout

There are lots of areas to explore with plenty of trails for bikes with trailers.

This is a beautiful park. They have a visitor center with lots of cool things to see and learn for both kids and adults.The bathrooms are always super clean.The park staff is informative and very helpful. They have 4 first come first serve sites with bbq pits and tables for picnics and parties. They also have larger sites you can reserve. They have a farm themed playground. They have paved trail around the perimeter thats good for walks, runs, bikes, skateboards etc. This is a hidden gem in San Jose.

We attended a dogs on the barn walk for dogs and their owners. We took a beautiful still with a park ranger and other dog owners around the property, stopping every now and then to learn about the land and how dogs have been helpful there. Upon completion you get a certificate that your pup is a Bark Ranger, a metal tag for your collar and a bandana or poop bag holder. Really great experience for our 3 month old puppy!!

Beautiful place, good for bike

Best place to get your walk/ ! Smells fabulous right now with fresh basil and Tarragon growing in the fields. Fresh air since the latest showers.

Beautiful setup. But the darn crosswalk is very disturbing to traffic as it doesnt use a timer per say it more of a i push button I stop traffic immediately thing rather than a safe light cycle.

Good for walking running and biking

Great for kids learning to ride bikes

Very nice park with a small community garden on the side. A nice slice of natural scenery in a sea of cement

Need more shade and more benches along the trails.

Beautiful park to walk,bike,picnic and play.

They started charging for parking, but I love that its a working farm now. Great place to walk or bike, good kids area and ok farm stand. Hopefully it will get bigger over time.There needs to be more farms like this, big or small

Great place for kids and plenty of space to bring your bike or scooter

Great ace for a walk

Love this park. Finally got to visit the visiting center.

Impressed how clean the bathrooms are! Very safe park, great space for young children. Lots of runners and dog walkers. Great views, and with the farmers market open in the summer, perfect visit if you live in the neighborhood.

FYI.My wife and I parked our car along chynoweth right by the entrance to the park. We were there to take a walk my wife put her purse in the back of the car in the trunk and we locked the car and took a walk. When we returned the driver side window was smashed and the trunk door open and my wifes purse and wallet stolen... we secured the purse in the trunk but someone must have been watching and when we left for a walk they broke into the car. not a reflection on the park as its a beautiful place to walk but be careful when you park outside of the park.

Great routes to walk and drive!

Best place for Minecraft Earth players. There are more than 20 Adventure Beacons in this park.

Its a really well kept, wide open park with a bit of a orchard feel to it. No entrance from the south side even though my GPS told me to go that way.

Excellent place to know about farmers n agriculture.One should know about people who provide us our bread n butter.

Great view awesome barbecue grill bathroom was nice and clean.

One of the Santa Clara County Parks, this one is a former privately owned, now public land owned farm in the middle of the built up suburbia around it. I walked the perimeter trail around it and it was a pleasant enough neighborhood walk, looking out over the field being cultivated. The interior of the park has central grass, BBQ, bathroom facility areas and small educational center about the history of the agriculture in the valley. Decent signage, clean, good for families. Event space can be rented out for larger gatherings and picnics. The UC Master Gardeners make use of a small plot for demonstration and Q&A gardens. Our City Forest also uses space for cultivating trees for their program to plant around the city and educate on urban landscaping. Not as much of a get away feel as many of the parks in the county system since it is right in a neighborhood, but it does provide a nice walking trail with close access for use.

Beautiful and well maintained park. $6 daily entrance. Open space, no much shade so it gets very hot. Natural playground for kids.

I really like this park because its huge, clean, with nice landscape. There are two kind of birds that I found here that I havent found at many other parks are the Starlings and the Meadow Larks. Both are song bird. They charge $6.00 parking/entrance fee.

Something San Jose has done right. Agricultural heritage is important. Thank You Cottle family for your donation of living history.

The place is always clean and the park rangers are always so pleasant and informative. They do need to plant more trees.

Great place for you and your puppy...

Once the trees grow more it will be great, Facilities were clean and bbq areas nice

Wonderful 1st Martial Cottle Park Spring Celebration event. Lots of stuff to play for kids!

Great place

Nice park for taking walks and bikes. Well sorted parking spaces,restrooms. Ideal for picnics and barbecues. Nice little museum depicting rural heritage. Thanks to Cottle family.

New neighborhood park with a history and agricultural theme. Opened in 2015, but parts of the park are still under construction, with no word as to when it will be finished. The park has several nice, clean, picnic sites to choose from. Some are for groups only and require a reservation, some are first come first serve. There is a childrens play area called Uncle Montys Discovery Farm (named for one of the family members who used to live on the farm), and it is next to an expansive green lawn area, complete with stone amphitheater. I havent found a very accurate way to measure just how many miles of trail i have walked in my time there, but i would guess its a little more than 3 miles, all together. There will be more once the back portion of the park opens! Looking forward to it!On the weekends, their visitor center/ history museum is open to the public and the park rangers and docents give at least 1 tour every Saturday and Sunday, rain or shine.There is a $6 flat fee for parking for the day, otherwise walking in and the tours are free!The park rangers have said that the goal is to have most of, if not all, of the park open by 2020. Looking forward to it!

You can walk or jog or cycling here. Good for evening walk.careful, once I have spotted snake .

Awesome for bike rides/walks/running. Play area for kids. Not a lot of shade.

Open and spacious for walking/jogging. Great for flying kites.

Not everyone who goes to parks is an idiot who runs in a circle, or wants to hear some docent yammer.

Love to run(exercise) around and through the park! Great park for kids!

Lovely place for an afternoon walk or a nice family date

Its a really nice park for a hike in the afternoon. Really clean and calm.

A jewel in the middle of urban sprawl. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would.

Like all the Santa Clara County parks, they charge for vehicle admission, but if you walk or bike in, it is free. There is some street parking outside the park, but take care in crossing Snell even at the light. Traffic can be heavy and the light by the park entrance is fairly new, so some people are not used to it yet.This park was previously a farm and it still has that feel to it, with grapes growing on the fences and farmland on both sides. There are a lot of paved paths through the park and a jogging/biking trail around the perimeter and past the fields.There are plenty of little areas with benches or picnic tables, some of which are available for reservations for events as well as a small play area with a slide and some things to climbTheres a Halloween/Harvest festival here in the autumn and other small events throughout the year.

Amazing place to go for a walk and enjoy many of the sites of San Jose by avoiding a lot of the hustle and bustle even though youre quite pretty much in the middle of it you dont feel that you are and theres plenty of nice people enjoying this place with you there are lovely plants and farming areas as well as animals like sheep that are being raised in this area. Its nice to see what has been done with this place and it looks great! I recommend anyone who can come by to check it out!

Is great place to do alot fun run, walk ride bicycle,

Great modern facility. Clean bathrooms, innovative play structure area. Needs more shade trees. Parking was six dollars at harvest festival. Lots of fun hands on activities for the kids. I would come again next year, with a better picnic and cold drinks this time.

Really cool park with a fully functional farm. The museum displays historical artifacts from the early days of European settlement through the end of the agricultural Era in the Silicon Valley. There are playgrounds for kids, a paved walking trail and BBQ facilities. Docent led walks are available on weekends.

Walking good

Beautiful trails around this park nice peaceful place to sit and enjoy the weather

Nice open space and wide paved walking paths.

A nice wide open area with paved trails for walking and biking.

Very fun Vegi Fest today.

Really surprised to find this park an outstanding addition to our local open spaces. Well designed, pretty and super fun for the kiddies. Also low the history theyve maintained. Recommended!

Beautiful park. Lots of space. Very clean. Not a lot of shade for hot days (waiting for those young trees to grow more).

This is a great park with tons of room. You can walk, run, ride bikes, fly kites, picnic, and so much more. The views of the hills and mountains is stunning with amazing sunsets. There is a playground for the kids with unique items like the well you can pump water out of. There are squirrels, bunnies, and lots of other critters running around.

Nice area but no playground, just a tan bark area.

Best view in sj and it will never change. Maintenance guys are great too.

Huge and clean park thats sort of in the middle of nowhere in Milpitas. $6 to get in with a car.

Should built some sports event equipment, and agriculture education center.especially need to have lots of kids activities to do,

Very well maintained, clean and safe environment

Poorly maintained!

Great for walking or running. The foot/bike path is mainly flat. The path around the entire park is about 2.5 miles. There is a small playground in the middle of the park, but no slides. There are a few areas that you can use for a BBQ. They also have a farmers market on certain weekends.

Beautiful day in a beautiful park

Always a good park to go to.
