Very nice little park. Has a duck pond, a running truck, a path that winds around quite a bit in both shade and sun, a couple of sports fields, an extensive childrens playground... theres even a wildlife rehabilitation building there, although its not open for the public. Theres no off-leash dog park, but I can put Goldie on a 25-ft leash and give her a very pleasant outing indeed.

Lovely spacious park. Lots of places to walk. A playground for children and ducks in the pond. Lots of places to sit too.

Great place for a jog! Get the heart rate up and keep it up :)

Great playground but always busy - we used to love coming here but now with covid, too many parents not wearing masks for me to be comfortable.Theres lots of ducks and geese here ...but bc of that the area has lots of poop on the floor and smells. Definitely not a good place for a picnic.

Nice park love it

The park is big enough for a good walk or walking your dog. Please note the playground is on the north side of the park, so if you’re aiming for the playground, make sure to park around there. The downside is that it could be crowded at times such as a sunny day or weekends. Some ducks and seagulls there since there is a small pond which is fenced. No fishing or feeding wildlife. It’s a little “taste” of nature in the busy Silicon Valley neighborhood.

Ive been going here weekly every summer for a decade. This park has never failed me.

Super fun to feed the ducks and take a small walk!

This is a nice walk. Generally clean and well kept. Small pond with birds. Something to look at and enjoy while getting your steps. Has a dirt track as well.

Covid-19 safety first, they blocked out kids section as needed. Restroom area needs attention seems people would piss on the floor in front of the closed gate. Trash in some areas, grass dying, better if it had BBQ pits...epic.... More lighting at night awesome. Other than that I like the park

Great outdoors close to where I stay! Live to visit the greenery with my family, son loves to play around here! Green, good, pure air, joggers paradise as Id say!

Dog friendly park. Good jog trail. Not recommended for biking specially on weekends.

Lovely park.. Enjoy going there with my family or alone.. My kid likes the play area and there is ample seating for you and your spouse to chat or you can go for a walk on the nice walking/jogging track.. the nice little pond In The middle with Ducks makes you feel closer to the nature ..I think they organize few events in the parking lot or community center .. The only concern is the maintenance of restroom .. but I think they try and do the best .. I have seen people misuse it.. Like a homeless person I think taking in all the paper towels placed there in one go.. unfortunate..

Just such a beautiful place

The fact that the silicon valley wildlife refuge is located on these premise is id say the most important thing tht sits on this land.

Nice park with brown grass. Not a ton of shade. Bonus ducklings in the little pond.

Great walking trail with a nice pond. Lots of ducks for the little ones to look at. Clean park.

Awesome park for walk in the nature, birds, goose, Creek with the calm sound of waters!

Grew up near this park so it is very near and dear to my heart. I love how big this area is and its a great area to walk around. On the weekends, there are groups of people in boy and girl scouts who practice and do their group activities there. The park also has an updated playground and there is a pond that is somewhat drained. There are plenty of ducks, geese, and other types of birds that call the pond home and it is a nice area to bird watch.

Wonderful open view of mountains & lake! I enjoy walking in this park!Playground for toddler. Close to Berryessa community center too.

A nice place to walk and also walk your little furry friend.

Nice park, lot of people though.

Clean park, kids love it.

Nice park with a great walking trail. Awsome to bring your kids since their is a playground for the kiddos. I also seen a baseball field but havent used it but it should be opened to the public. Also the berryessa center is located here where they have many classes for kids to learn new hobbies.

Nice calm park to chill

The creek is spiritual as.

Childhood memories is what this park is to me and if were being honest, I know its others too. Whether it was just simply passing by, Running miles, hitting homeruns. Itll always be a piece of home.

Very nice and beautiful place....

Great spot for a picnic.

Several trails to explore.

Found a mallard with what looked to be a broken wing. Brought him in and they were very friendly and efficient. Turns out he did indeed have a broken wing. Poor guy.They even gave me a slip so I can call in to check on him.

Very nice playground. Little trail looping around a small lake with all kinds of birds. Perfect Sunday activity for families.

Nice pathways and scenery! Theres a lake with some duck and geese as well. I only have been here once but it wasnt crowded which is a plus for me :)

Great place to walk/run with the family

Nice day at the park

Nice with bikes.

Nice walking trails, duck pond and grassy area. This park is adjacent to the Berryessa Community center which has a track field that also can be used for a walk. Pleasant trees, not a lot of wildflowers or other vegetation and fairly quiet on the Saturday I was there.

Good place to go hiking

Lots of stoners

The best Park

I havent been here like in a year or so and I just love how the new playground is from before!! Will be coming here more often..

Beautiful pond was full of water

Nice park but crowded during the day. But nice place to walk your dog.

A nice big park. Good for brisk walking and duck watching.

Make sure you make sure you bring chairs and food to eat there

Great place for a walk. Lots of birds and scenic views of the Lick Observatory on Mount Hamilton. Plus, the creek is always nice.

Super dry for a park. Unfortunately, not well maintained.

They are so caring and kind. Took a squirrel there and hope to hear correspondence soon on its well being.

Great place for walking and exercises. Well maintained playground for kids.

What cool slides and innovative playground. Yes!

One of the Great Park in this area.- Enough play structures for Kids.- Pond full of Ducks in the middle.- Great for walking & Jogging.- Restrooms and Barbeque area.- Access from 3 streets.

Good view in this park

Its ok

Pretty nice park in the area with quite a few athletic activities available. Theres also a nice pond, and play area just for the kids, that looks to be quite new and well maintained. I am however taking away one star just due to the fact that compared to the other local parks around, the grass and grounds themselves are not as well maintained, but I would call them natural looking. If your looking for a nice place to walk your dog, go for a jog, or, take your kids to go play this is a good park. However if youre looking for a place to have picnic and feel comfortable walking around on the grass barefoot and such, this would not be my first choice. Overall still a great park to have in the community!

Really nice place to go hiking and to look at nature.

Its wonderful to see lots of wildlifes.

Its a nice park with good trail. Trail length is good for a long walk. There is kids play area and plenty of parking. Its got a nice vibe in the evenings.

Nice place to walk paths or just relax.

Great place for a walk and has a great playground for the kids.

Cool spot

Good place to walk the trails

I love to walk here

I love this park, good parking spaces. Park is also really clean. Good place to work out or meditate. Great place to bring kids and elderly.

Awesome park my kids love it

Great park for a walk, right next to Berryessa Community Center. Easy to park, and take a nice walk around the park. It is dirty near the creek itself, due to the ducks and geese, but no complaints.

Just catch the signs! World around us is full of suprises)

While the pond is no longer full, the ducks are still there. The playground is still awesome and the grass is still green. The walking path is still maintained and enjoyable. The giants trees still provide cover for a picnic and there are plenty of trash cans for waste. Of course, the Berryessa Community Centre is also here, so while much has changed in San Jose, this place has basically stayed the same for the last couple of decades. Bring the kids, bring your pups, bring your friends with the volleyball net. Enjoy our beautiful California weather while we can.

Love this park. Its clean and theres a trail for walking/running. Very scenic too while excercising since there is a big pond with ducks and a school nearby with a track and field.

My kids love coming to this park. It’s nice and chill

Good place for speed walking, taking dog for stroll (on leash).

Ate our lunch there. And took the dogs for a walk.

Very beautiful spring flowers around. Good for a short walk with play area for kids. Parking is usually available easily.

Beautiful large park with a big grass field and a playground for both toddlers and kids. Lots of parking lots. Highly recommended!

Kids love it

I walk here 3 mornings a week, & it is simply a beautiful walk and very flat. The reservoir is filled with Canadian Geese and several varieties of ducks.it is shard toward the end of the loop which I always look forward to.

One of the best kept secrets in San Jose....

Glad to see the lake is full again ! So many ducks and squirrels were out and the park looked so beautiful !

Its a little dry but a good open space to walk and run.

Good place for havint rest! Come here and take your children!

Very nice open area with a small lake, ducks, kids play area and lots of long walkways. Kids area is usually crowded. Plenty and renewed parking space.

Good walk everytime, but try to avoid the raining season, its muddy.

Love this place

Great park for toddles and. Adults...

Good playground to take the kids and the community center has great classes and resources for all ages

Beautiful park area to walk, run, walk the dog and biking. Also has a playground for little ones. The Berryesa community center is there.

Not very well maintained to be called a park, more of a wide open space for activities. But the lake is nice and its a huge space for sports, running, walking your dog or even a photoshoot by the lake!

Very educational park and freindly park....

My daughter said it was her favorite playground

Excellent for running

This is a park in Penitentia neighborhood. People come here to walk or jog. A little playground is near senior center. However, there is not much to see other than doing exercise. The little pond is used to be a food and nesting location for wild ducks and geese, however, the pond is dried out this year. It is so sad that both San Jose city and water department invest little in this park.

Have many facilities and my kid enjoyed.

Its a nice well kept park with lots of open space, a trail and a playground. Theres a few trees and a pond as well.

Good one for a weekend walk or jog or picnic ! My 4 YO had a great time !

Nice park for all ages

This park is good for all ages and most activities like walking along the waterline to taking the kiddos or bigger kiddos to play on 1 of the 2 playgrounds, nearby the Decent Restrooms that are on site.

Ayeat

Great park with childs playground and other amenities.

This is a big park where i was located is the very back of the park. off of Penitencia Creek. It has about 16 parking spaces. That has access to the walking track that circles around a duck pond. What I love about this park its quiet and shady and I can just relax in my van and enjoy the fresh air.

Love coming here with my family. Nothing beats walking the trails they have, especially around the pond when the ducks and turtles are out. They also have a huge field that is perfect for flying kites on a windy day.

My baby likes there
