Suggestions for Landmarks and Outdoors near Palo Alto

Katelyn C. • January 28, 2018Amazing playground for babies! Love the multi-floor tree house. The slides are also the BEST in town (they’re even fun for the parents too)! :)

@flakitavalente™ 👜 • September 19, 2013Lovely park, great for kids and great for barbecues as well! Lots of parking spaces!

Benson L. • November 30, 2014A nice playground with some impressively steep slides for older kids.

Saurabh P. • March 10, 2011Its the famous place where it all started,but remember that people do live in that house so keep quite and respect their privacy. Read the history on the board and feel the positive vibe of success

Paul T. • February 3Beautiful, small garden in the center of Palo Alto. There are tons of camellias in every shade of red, pink, white, and variegated. There is a carriage house perfect small groups and receptions.

Kevin D. • June 2, 2014Nice quiet park. Lots of space for the dogs to run around. There's also a dog run here.

Citrus Lane • August 17, 2011Baby swings, a ship-shaped play structure, and a much-loved zero-depth wading pool for wee ones—all within walking distance of the Junior Museum, Children's Theatre, and Library. What's not to like?

Mona D. • August 21, 2016Very lovely park in Palo Alto. It's usually crowded on weekends and evenings everyday. Good place to enjoy reading outdoors.

daniel c. • July 8, 2014Good single track mountain biking trails. Well marked. Not too crowded. Has hikers and cyclists.

Marcos • June 1, 2015Great hiking, camping and picnicking park. Lots of trails some of which connect to Arastradero preserve, and others that connect to Los Trancos open space.

Paul M. • November 22, 2013Around the park is a path. On the path are a few "workout" stations. My favorite are the parallel bars (which I use for dips, core training, and balancing on top) and the monkey ladder.

Jesse J. • December 15, 2014Hands down one of the best (if not THE best) of the South Bay open space preserves. Check out the loop hike outlined at bahiker.com.

Cameron G. • July 8, 2013The largest dog park in Palo Alto! One dog run for dogs of all sizes. Animal control patrols park to keep it safe. Also a great place to bring your family with fields, playground, and water play area.
