Spanning over 52 acres, it features everything from tennis courts and a lake to shaded picnic areas and a popular playground. The park’s open-air amphitheater often hosts cultural festivals and summer concerts, adding to its lively atmosphere. Its central location and well-maintained facilities make it a must-visit for both residents and travelers seeking a true taste of Santa Clara’s communal spirit.
