Los Gatos Creek County Park

Los Gatos Creek County Park is a popular public place that offers a good starting point for exploring the city's Los Gatos Creek Trail. The park is located southwest of downtown in the neighboring city of Campbell, about a 15-minute drive from downtown. San Jose cyclists may reach the park through the Los Gatos Creek Trail, which begins at Meridian Street and runs for 3.5 kilometers.

Parking requires an admission charge. Visitors have access to plenty of open space, including five ponds at the entrance gate, in addition to the large parking area. Swimming is prohibited, although the scenery is beautiful, and fishing is permitted with a valid license. The paved Los Gatos Creek Trail runs through the park from north to south. It connects several cities and communities along the way, making it one of San Jose's top urban bike trails. Vasona Lake County Park is located a short distance south of Los Gatos Creek Trail and offers similar open space amenities.
