Great place to ride, hidden in plain site at the top of Metcalf Rd. in South San Jose. This is a Santa Clara County facility, need to make reservations during corona virus times (2020).

Just stopped by to take a couple of photos after stumbling across it while looking for large birds. Park rangers were very nice and pointed me in the right direction. The guy in the photos saw me taking pictures and gave me something to shoot and a big thumbs up after.

By far the one of the best motorcycle riding areas out there! Small but good! Not an all day riding park but the perfect place to practice and have a great day! Staff is amazing, track is fun, tons of single track, awesome facilities and right in San Jose!

There are some very tight, technical, rutted, rocky switchback trails that will test even some experienced riders..

Such a fun area to ride. Metcalf has a lot of fun trails and routes and a cute, little terrain park. Theres lots of parking, a loading dock, and plenty of space for lunch.

I love this place, beautiful landscape and awesome riding in all skill levels!! I like it most of all for the beginner track so I can practice all day and nobody in your way, especially on the weekdays

Experienced riders come on easy and moderate trails and scare the hell out of beginners, good riders should stay on trails made for their high skill level, not on the easy trails that learning children are using

If you have a green sticker motorcycle this is the place to have fun at least once a month all year long and always a good time.

Good place next to San Jose to ride. Has a lot of trails through the hills, moderate skill level should get you around most of the park. Theres a few different tracks for people of all different skill levels. The trails have a good amount of bumps and rocks for those concerned.

Very nice. They made it easy for registration, took me only a minute or two. They have tire air on site, which is cool. Clean restrooms. People are friendly. Only small complaints would be that its kinda small.

Review №31

Dirt was great today! Rangers were friendly and a great trials course. Wish I also had my mx bike with me!

Review №32

Lots of fun cool trails. Its like a miniature Hollister with one trail like Carnage. Its dry eats up your back tire but still closest fun you can get to quickly. And if you get injured the rangers will help with anything even hose you down cause theres blood everywhere and put on gloves and pull rocks out of your back. Plus everyone is friendly. Metcalf even has trails for quads and go- carts.

Really liked it. My 10yo found some trail (hills) difficult, fell, but was able to manager. My 8yo wouldnt be able to do it. Rangers are great.

Okay so this place is sometimes amazing and sometimes disgusting. there are full-time rangers there you are excellent human beings and their to help in case get her. But the dirt when its dry, is miserable and disgusting. go there 2 days after it rains, and youll be treated with sculptors clay that could care less if your tires are rounded. This place turns epic after a rain. Motocross track is definitely beginner. The ATV truck is a great beginners track wonderfully banked corners. The singletrack is all one way and direction and its pretty much impossible to ever get an a collision with another party there. I wish more riding spots would adopt us as a standard. I went there for the first time after a rain today for the ghost riders motorcycle club. Very nice people, families and quite talented a-level riders. Being that I just moved from San Francisco coming from Los Angeles its a different style of writing but great because its only $5. And if the dirt is right, and its close to you, youd be silly not to go three to four times a year.Its not the largest place its a maximum 10 minute loop around the perimeter, but for the price location an occasional awesome dirt and grooming with excellent picnic benches at the top of hills and in the parking lot you cant beat it. Theres a dedicated trials section or what some people refer now to as endurocross. There is ample parking with a loading ramp so you do not need to bring a can back up to a loading dock ramp.Okay so sorry about this review and is grammatical errors I did this while driving back from the park with grins on my face using Googles voice dictation

Its a nice place to ride. The rangers are friendly and helpful. I would not recommend this place to a beginner. There are only a few trails that are smooth enough for a beginner to be comfortable. If you are an expert you might find this part awesome but a little to small, hence the good rating. The MX track is pretty decent tho.

I love this place. My favorite part is that you can only go one direction on the trails unlike some motorcycle parks. It makes me feel safer. Fun fun fun!

Great small park to ride half-day or all day. They opened up the back so there is a lot more to explore than most realize. Great staff!

Off road riding, mx and trails, well maintained, good for kids, reasonable close to most of the Bay Area. And only $6 per vehicle (no matter how many bikes you have). Love it!

Great spot to ride! Close by and very affordable.The green sticker / red sticker riding season is very unfortunate because it is a giant CARB sham, but I cant blame the park for that. They are just abiding by the rules.

Not for beginner I would say, I ride at hollister and the beginner tracks here are a lot harder. Its hard to tell which tracks are beginner-difficult-advanced. The tracks are fun but the trails are a bit Rocky and small and have small little ravines. Crashed my bike going down a dent sized hill and couldnt slow it down, ended up going to the side in the ravines and crashing into bushes, plastics banged up now! Overall it is fun and decent, but a bit harder and more dry than Hollister. This is my first time here and this is what i thought of it.

Review №56

Metcalf is awesome for being so close to the bay. Sure Hollister is bigger, and Carnegie has more challenging trails, but this small park has packs a great variety into such a small space. Never seems all that crowded, and people are very friendly. The small town of moto parks. Rangers are good folks too.

A fairly small park (compared to Hollister Hills) but great trails and tracks including green, blue, black -- also a trials area. Mini Mx track up to 150cc, plus a beginners practice ring with a couple basic hill loops. Proximity overlooking neighborhoods in South Bay Area means if you only have a half day to spare, its still worth going. Nice, clean bathrooms, soda and snack vending machines. Theres now an air and water station, plus a covered area with picnic tables, and more tables under shade structures. At least one concrete loading ramp. Check their site for red sticker dates. They also do moon-gazing parties, and run family movie nights. Volunteers are always welcome to do trail work or work the Mx track, and theres a Junior Ranger program.
