De Anza Park

Nice and spacious. Redwoods around the outside.

Play area is half fenced off, I assume for resurfacing as the foam stuff looked like it had seen better days. Other areas are sand based.

Bonus points for having swings with big long chains.

We visit this park on regular basis with our toddler. This park is really good with lots of swings and different slide/play structures. Also has different climbing structures with benches and picnic area for kids.

Absolutely loved the park, green, clean, plenty of rides for kids. It is dog friendly and has picnic tables.

This is a pretty and green park next to a residential area. This is next to a school, so you could always see lots of activities in and around the park. However, the park doesn’t have proper tracks to walk around and there is always some ongoing construction on the park that makes the area little dusty and difficult to walk around. As the park is little hilly, it makes it a nice place to use a picnic blanket and read a book or entertain a dog.

Groves of mature redwoods make this neighborhood park especially nice. It's not the same as actually being in a redwood forest, but it's a good second best when you can't get away from the city. The park also has two grassy expanses, one flat for ball play, and one with miniature rolling hills. There's a sandy playground for the kids, with plenty of jungle gym equipment and swings. There's one baseball diamond, and a wall for bouncing tennis balls, but no tennis or basketball courts. (There are tennis courts just a block away on Remington.) There's a big paved circular area that would be great for roller skating, or even dancing - if only there were music, it would be perfect. There's a small group picnic area with a barbeque, a community meeting room, an even a little off-street parking.
