I wanted to share some information about a fabulous neighborhood park that my wife discovered. Guadalupe Oak Grove Park in South San Jose is a true gem. This park is pretty easy to get to. Just take Almaden Expressway south and make a right on Macabee, across from the new Sonoma Chicken Coop. A few blocks up the road you will run into the parks entrance. This park has it all for a young family. There is a couple of modern play structure for the kids. This is also a dog friendly park with a pretty large fenced off dog park. The real gem of this park is the oak covered trails and sandstone boulders that can be found in the back half of the park. Most of the trails are stroller friendly which also makes them convent for jogging. There are also several great sandstone boulders that make for great bouldering opportunities for the youngsters. The trails are not particularly long or difficult, but that is what makes this a great family park. There is ample wildlife viewing opportunities especially for birders. They have just recently installed some nesting boxes for barn owls. If you have a couple of hours to kill some afternoon, I highly recommend this park.
