Well kept up & maintained. Its a beautiful park with volleyball pits, playgrounds (appear to be open), basketball (half court I believe) & access to a lake which is rumored to have some large fish. Cant confirm as Ive never caught anything there .

One of the best park in San Jose. Its good for running, walking, fishing and biking. The restrooms are clean. People are nice arround. Good place for family gathering.i think it deserve 5 stars.

I was only here briefly to meet someone to look at a car, and brought my dog the next day just to walk. Its November and chilly but there were several people walking their animals. The lake is lovely, theres a playground and some trails and a picnic area. Bathrooms were open and are located at the parking lot. We didnt stay long but it was very pleasant. I imagine its quite nice, especially for the kids in summer. I know you used to be able to swim there and there is a nice large beach. I assume you can still do that , but not absolutely sure.

Was a lovely to park even for the fall very clean . They have a catch and release policy . Lots of geese there definitely a place to visit while in California.

Such a lovely park!! Eastside entrance for pets! So much nature we loved it. Lots of things to do cant wait to enjoy it fully.

What a beautiful park. Peaceful, picturesque and clean. Best to get there in the early mornings or noon time. It gets pretty crowded in the afternoons.

We did 8 miles of the Los Alamos creek trail which is a great bike trail for kids. Mostly flat with a total elevation change of 180.

Its a beautiful lake park. Small but has nice picnic tables. It feels like a good place to hang out for a while, go for a walk or run.

Well, lets see . . . beautiful little lake, lots of shade and vegetation, and a cute creek that runs along the paved path, which leads into a naturally occurring and continuous loop. Although a bit crowded after 10am, its perfect for a stroll with friends, that is if the ultimate goal is to enjoy an easy no-nonsense ride.

This place is popular and therefore more crowded when the weather is good. Luckily, the paths are wide and allow for reasonable physical distancing; plus, the upside of so many people being there is all the dogs that come with them! A good place to go for a long walk on mostly even pavement, and not as crowded if you happen to go at an off time.

Played bocci ball for z first time You provide your own balls. They can be purchased at a sporting goods store.

An amazing view. Especially during sunset. Gorgeous san jose here.

We dont walk around the lake. We hike up the hill across the street where the communication tower is. The incline and partially paved slope gives you a challenge. And if your up for it you can try going up a few times.

Crowded, peppered with Chads and Karens, but overall pleasant. Some people fish here, but you cant swim because theres mercury in the water.

A pretty view with the water and great wildlife, tons of squirrels and geese all around the sides of the trails and you can always find people fishing here too. Only downside of the wildlife is that the geese have been exposed to human interaction and being fed so they can be quite aggressive, and their poop is literally on every square inch of the park. But if youre not irked out by geese poop then this place is a solid spot!!

Beautiful view and great place to walk around the lake. Good for biking, strollers and saw some people fishing. There’s play area for kids but unfortunately closed due to shelter in place (April 18, 2020)

We just moved here from San Jose and were looking forward to a park that reminded us of home. This park is huge with a lot of hidden treasures. I am very pregnant so we just drove around the park to familiarize ourselves with the layout. Will be back soon!

We intended to walk expecting to enjoy a cool walk under the trees by the lake. Instead there was no breeze,the park locked the air under the hills. And where were the trees? The city is reworking the park. Lets hope they thought about walking Pats in the shade.

It is really a good place to visit with family. There is a nice trail around the lake. Good for biking or walking.

Enjoyed a pleasant game of bocce ball while maintaining appropriate distance from others. Great way to start the Labor Day holiday.

Very nice for family and kids. Awesome trail and fun at the creek.

Beautiful spot. Decent fishing (largemouth bass, a few trout, plenty of carp). Great walking path.

Nice place to mountain bike and sight see or just walk in the morning an looking at the propertys.

Beautiful lake with many stuff to do. Stuff like biking boating and fishing and playing in the park makes this place wonderful

Place to fish for fun, I dont think its safe to eat the fish here, also a great place to jog, walk,or run.. dog friendly as well..

Despite its location near several main thoroughfares, its a pretty park with nice views, an easily manageable walk around the lake, geese, a sandy beach (currently closed) with showers, playgrounds (also closed), and picnic areas (dto.)

Then going there for years great little spot just dont eat the fish,,,

Was a pleasant spot to social distance with family and chill a bit. Mostly all others were were wearing masks too. Amiable and family oriented groups there in the late afternoon

It was nice. little dirty.. people wont wearing masks tho.. covid isnt over people.. be mindfulness others~

Great park. It was wonderfully set and it gives you happiness and relaxation.

Plenty of space for social distancing. Great to see a variety of people enjoying the space.

Beautiful with a pleasant breeze! Table to have a quiet lunch just enjoying nature

Beautiful its a nice lake would be even more enjoyable if it was open to what it should be

Too busy for COVID-19 and people will setup almost on top of you. People have also trained the geese that you have food for them so they harass you for a bit and return anytime they hear some crinkle similar to food packaging. Otherwise if youre interested in walking around the lake its a nice place to walk.

GREAT location for family. The Canadian Geese are there & the children are do happy to be out running. The adults looked relaxedvecause the children were running off their energy. This COVID-19 has made 2020 a very depressing scary year. Now that the parks allow us to enjoy them .... they have restored faith & hope just by being outside. The majority of the people had masks on but everyone was social distancing. Thank you Almaden Lake Park for your beauty and relaxing atmosphere. I got a sence of Peace while I was there.

Nice place for a leisurely walk. Clean, well maintained and ample parking

Great views especially for an evening walk. Horseshoe pits. Barbecue grills. Lots of sitting areas. Playground. Not dog friendly on one side of the park because of geese

A fun place and a easy walk around the lake.

A very good place to be with your family on the evening ...for a walk at this time when there is a pandemic around...but also its good to see people wearing mask....

This is a lovely local park where you may jogging or walking. It has very nice scenes, trees, lake environment. It is very photogenic. It is very close to the highway too. Highly recommend.

Amazing place to bird watch. Bring binoculars and be sure and check the small island in the middle of the lake for the egrets, herons and turtles. Best time is during the week when its not very crowded

It is a beautiful background nice relaxing for walk love it

Its a huge park with a lake in it. Went for 4th July Fireworks. It was amazing. It was the best fireworks I had seen so far. The park was very crowded that day for the fireworks. Its a nice park to hangout, do bbq, play games, etc... The parking is limited but you can always park on the streets. This is one of the best park in South Bay.

Very cute lake park. Great for strolling, jogging. Two playgrounds for kids, bocce field, picnic areas. Two Parking lots $6 for a day. But can park on the street for free (in the back of the park, not highway side).

The beautiful sky you deserve after a weeks exhaustion.

A great park to walk, play, and enjoy life.

Today was a little breezy. But still a great day to see a friend even with social distancing. Thanks to our local government for making the parking free while C19 still is dictating our social lives.

A very good park with pond....a lot of ducks will swarm and parade around u if u offer anything to eat...kids enjoy the sight...elders have a lot of space to walk around...a visit is thoroughly enjoyable!

Fantastic big park in San Jose. What we like the most is it being within the city. It is very famous for parties. The day we went there were like five parties, plus a big event with stage and about ten lunch carts lining up for it. The picinc / party area had a reservation notes on them. Parking is a inside the park, using the automated machines if booth is unattended it costs six dollars. Or you can just park o the streets outside for free. The park is divided I to two sections one of which is considered a wild life sanctuary, hense no dogs are allowed. It features a small 3 minutes loop also. However there are two trails in the park on is about 4 miles connecting it to another park. And a one mile loop as well. Lots of activities are offered in this park. Boating is one, pedal boating. I would call to check on these since we are I drought time. However, man people were fishing. There are big grassy areas. In the sanctuary area there is a play ground for kids to enjoy. Restrooms are OK. Benshs are available surrounding the lake. To enjoy the nice view. Lots of picture opportunities, there is a metal bridge on top of a creek that allows for nice pictures, at the end of the paved road, great for biking by the way, nice views also of the main lake, or where it kinda narrows down and winds away. Atop the very short loop you can get nice views or just sit on the bench there and enjoy it. Just walking around the lake you can catch very picturistic views of the lake with a nice island in the middle and different kinds of birds. We were very lucky to get some pictures of a big fish swinging almost on the surface of the water. Overall, great park, lots of activities to enjoy. Without much traveling.

I have been to this park several times and I have been enjoying it. Today is the fort time since the Covid-19 outbreak. More than half of visitors ignore the mandatory mask requirements, even one of the staff who whoa taping the picnic area failed to wear a mask. Please be aware when you visit the park. I don’t recommend it during this pandemic.

Very pretty and super easy to walk around the lake! Lots of squirrels and birds.

Great to take a walk around the lake!!

Gorgeous place! Loved the Mountain background! It was paradise. Park is pretty big so you can take a nice big walk.

Really a nice park but no restroom facilities or use of equipment because of pandemic.

This is my favourite place to walk it has lake in the middle.....The park is very clean.

Beautiful lake. Clean and a perfect place to walk my pup. She loves it. Also, I always see a couple people fishing whenever I visit.

Nice local park, very crowded now in covid days.

Beautiful area. Easily accessible. Lots of parking both in the parking lot and on the street. I would definitely recommend checking it out.

Nice big Park with huge Lake that people were fishing in, lots of ducks that people were illegally feeding, places to play volleyball, horseshoe and lots of land to run around. Nice playground for kids and there are some sections of the park that you can reserve for a fee. Parking costs $6 and you pay via machine.

I just really like getting some sun here. Fun to walk around the lake and look at geese and ducks. Heres no shade for the park playgrounds so in the summer it can feel pretty hot. And no one swims in the lake. People do fish but they are toxic. On the Coleman side the parking is free.

Its a beautiful park and a great loop track around the lake although through the epidemic there are way more than half the population arent wearing masks and they all seem to be the over privelaged certain nationality, Figures.

No fish were biting but trails were nice

In the early 80s we used to drive Down Almaden to L. on Greystone where you could cross a shallow creek with your car, then a STEEP HILLCLIMB, PARK AND What a View it was, The party was on. Soon bull dossers came in and created Coleman Ave & this beautiful Lake. High dive off the Coleman Overpass a couple Bonfires under it below. Soon paddle boats, BBQs, Snack Bar, Beach Swimming Lanes. The face of this park keeps changing as does the people who enjoy it. Almost 40 years later I a bike ride on the trail to this park, 4th of July, is AWSOME here and the families smiling and loving one another. I hope modern sprawl doesnt affect her.,

Easy access and uncrowded. Has a nice trail that goes around the park. Parking on street available

Really enjoy my walks at Park/Lake Almaden. There is a great section for kids.There is Bocce Ball too.Also great for birthday parties you just need to call for reservation

Beautiful park and lake, just watch out for geese poop

Amazing place to go for a walk.. Nice lake view

It was so peaceful and lovely! Great place to roll around with a good book ..

Very well kept and lots of space. Great place to spend time with the kids!

Looks great in pictures but not very clean

Walk, bike or run. Very nice.

Cool park. Rode our bikes there and kicked the soccer ball around. Got to see some baby geese at different stages in age today.

Love watching the Canada geese and the ducks as they eat, wonder and care for their babies. Love looking at the serenity of the lake!

Ive recently been doing morning walks here during the weekdays & its been great. Its not overly crowded & its actually a peaceful, scenic stroll around a beautiful lake.

Really enjoyed the park . It’s outside of city. People are walking , running , fishing,biking

Took my granddaughters and their bike and tricycle we we went around the lake to Los Alimitos creek. They enjoyed themselves it was a good time!

I liked this park. It is good place to ride a bike

Relaxing and have fun with kids

Great views of Mount Umunhum from the North Shore (closest to Coleman Road). Bocce ball courts, picnic areas, playgrounds, and more.

Clean and beautiful. Dogs allowed!

We took our kids here to fish but we didnt catch anything. But thats ok, all that matters is that we had fun and created memories.

Great family place! We really loved out walk around the park. The views are beautiful out here.

This park is a beautiful treasure within reach of the busy Silicon Valley scramble. We love going on long, relaxing walks around the lake or along the trails. We havent taken advantage of the park and its amenities, like the picnic and party areas but they look well kept, clean, and there is always parking.

I went to this place to skate, the sunset is beautiful and it is a good way to exercise around the lake

I went to this park for the Water Lantern Festival. We had a great time!

Its a beautiful place to walk around n enjoy nature.

Its a beautiful Park very peaceful and quiet after 5:00 o clock

Beautiful lake, lovely sunsets!

Nice, flat walk around the lake with many picnic benches around. They are are doing some work around the trail so you cant follow it all the way around. At one point you have to cross a street to get back onto the trail which is a little confusing. When I went the water quality was poor so no water activities were allowed. In the neighborhood near the lake there are signs saying to save the lake - it appears that there is a movement to fill it in.

Almaden Lake Park is a great place to relax and enjoy the nature. There are BBQ areas for special events as well.

Went fishing under the bridge and my son caught his first fish..it was about 4 in big i believe a bass. There are def big fish in this lake.

Great place for a walk, bike ride, or picnic. And just sitting on a bench looking at the lake is fine also. Its not a natural lake, but its great to have so close by at the intersection of Willow Glen, and Almaden Valley

Perfect for fireworks. :D

There is a park for kidsAnd big trail fir adults to walk

Great place to get in shape when you havent exercised in a long time and may be self conscious. People come in all shapes and sizes there and there are both walking and biking trails. Family friendly and not dominated by cyclists that are rude and feel like they own the universe. Respectful folks for the most part, only one person I observed letting his German shepherd pooping and he did not clean it up.

First time visiting this park. Nice scenery while walking my dog around the lake.

Nice lakeside walk!

Nice relaxing. Good trails

This is a beautiful park with places to sit and watch ducks or playgrounds to play. There are even some basketball courts on one side. Its a huge park and there are bike trails that go through it. Very bet friendly!!

Love the place. It has two entrances which doesnt end up the same place. If it is your first time there make you dont get lost.
