Seven Seas Park

A wonderful park with two play area sections one for tots and one for older kids. There is a water feature with water spouting up that children can run through. Climbing features include a pirate ship and large rocks plus the usual swings, push style merry-go-round, and slides. There is a large grassy area, a basketball half-court, and free BBQs. A great place for families to hang out.

Las Palmas Park

Reviewed By RobertCh - Sunnyvale, United States

9:20am, just finished watching Andrew Cuomo's daily TV address. Wife and I get our morning's exercise walking 40 minutes through the beautiful tree lined neighborhoods of south central Sunnyvale, right in the center of silicon valley. We walk one block from our house in a residential neighborhood, through a pedestrian corridor to reach Las Palmas park, 18+ acres the second largest park in the city. The houses on both sides of the pedestrian corridor were built in 1995 replacing the cherry orchards. Houses on other sides of the park were built in 1966, when chip and mainframe computer industries were developing. Huge open area of freshly cut grassy fields, intersected by pedestrian sidewalks, surrounded on three sides by residential homes, and on the 4th side by Sunnyvale Tennis Center's 16 lighted pay to play tennis courts. Signs at the entrances to the park: "Physical distancing required. Maintain a distance of 6 feet apart. Do not congregate in groups. Parks for passive use only. No team sports or pickup games. Stay home if you don't feel well". The kids playground is closed, the dog park is closed, the baseball field closed, and the tennis courts are closed, all since the March 17 announcement by Santa Clara county to shelter in place. Some people sitting at the picnic tables under the trees, while others walk their dogs. No picnicking in groups. Got to watch your step on the grass when going around people, to maintain the 6 feet social distance , as some dog owners don't pick up after their pets. Lots of people like myself running or jogging on the mile in circumference streets and concrete pathways surrounding the park. Public bathrooms closed, forcing the homeless to go elsewhere. No RVs nor campers allowed to park overnight in the parking lots, nor on the streets surrounding the park. We are so close to the park that on garbage collection day, people dump their trash from picnics in the park into our bins, when the park bins are overflowing. They put their plastics in my recycling bins, not knowing that only plastic bottles are recyclable, not plastic packaging. Guess who has to tip the bin over and dig down to pick out the plastic packaging? And with some cop car coming around the corner thinking I'm stealing. Waiting until today to do a review of the place. City Park & Recreation open for lawn mowing, but not barbers. Only recently has the grass been cut. Apparently cutting the lawns more essential than cutting my hair.

Sunnyvale Bay Trail

Reviewed By scpat2015 - Greenville, United States

The trail is inside a large park called Sunnyvale Badlands Park. Put that in your maps app and let the little voice guide you. $6 per vehicle. Lots of easy parking. Clean restrooms several playgrounds. Great for kids. Vending machines for soda and water only. Bring your own food. Grills available. Great place for large functions or solo with camera like I was. Wetlands are dry right now. If you want more shorebirds go to Shoreline Park in Mountain View only 16 minute drive away.
