City of Sunnyvale’s Baylands Park

On the edge of the baylands at the tip of the SF bay, this park has a nice connectivity between the salt flats and bay breeze and the urban growth of the tech sprawl of Google, Yahoo, and NeApp just blocks away. The playground keeps my tweens interested, the wide open space of the center of the park is refreshing, and if you creatively wander there are probably 3.5 miles of running trails you can navigate without doubling back.

I just lost my wallet!!! Let me know if anyone find it!!! Thank you so much… My wallet is [black and some cash in there]

Very fun, but would prefer there were more benches along the paths!

This park is top 3 around this area great walking the badlands are fun to see and the kids have fun the remote control planes are very cool too a must to come by its worth the 6 bucks to park so much walking it feels good. Weekend fun

Any city, county or state park that doesn’t allow a dog on a leash is ridiculous. Come on California. Get with the program. There are rangers to police any unacceptable behavior. Explored the park (without my Cocker Spaniel). Nice park, but won’t be back without my dog.

I’ve run here 199 times as well. Not as nice as Rancho but for logging mikes on dirt it will get the job done. Easier to access and rarely too crowded. Not that scenic but beats pavement running every time!

This is definitely a lovely park. A lovely hike, bike, or jog — not so much.
Every weekend we explore a new hiking trail. We muck through, so you can sit with a lovely, warm cup of hot cocoa and read the review.
Hike: After it rains, «muck» is truly the appropriate word for these trails. There is a range of birds (ducks, white birds, others that look like water birds), and it is nice to walk surrounded by the bay — note I said it is nice to «walk.»
After it rains, you won’t be walking — trudging, mucking or squeaking are more appropriate. And don’t even think about taking a jog, unless you want to come back with a nice little mud mask (okay, that was a bit dramatic). We ended up trudging around like chickens with our head’s cut off, directionless and seeking some walking area without mud. Also, in one direction the wind will be working against you, which makes for a bit of a struggle.
Park: The park itself is quite nice with multiple baseball diamonds, signage, ample bathrooms (appreciated by your girl right here!), and a playground. Certain months there is a charge for parking.
Nice scenery, nice parkery, not so nice hikery.

Absolutely gorgeous! A must see, must come, and must enjoy! You can go on a beautiful bike ride, a nice run, stroller walk/​run, bring the kiddos to enjoy the parks, and open space. The bathrooms are large and clean, and there is plenty of benches, and tables.

What’s not to love?! Absolutely beautiful landscape. Two parks and one set of swings. Huge BBQ areas and lots of picnic tables and shade. It’s fun to watch the drones and mini planes fly overhead. Always a great experience. Check out the bridge and hike the back trail!!!

Great park, great BBQ pits! I just wish some one that worked for the park would patrol. We had our little music going. Not loud enough to bother others. Then this other group of people came with a freakin band! We were 2 spots over, and we couldn’t even hear our music! That was so rude of them to mess up not only our event but also the people that was next to them. They just left! But other than that, it was a great experience. I think our plan is to have this reunion here, yr, after yr. I hope the people with the band don’t have the same plans!

Great place to take photos! Huge park! Plenty of spots to eat, bike, workout, etc. Took one star cause you have to pay for parking. A couple of spots here and there needs updating and if they’re charging money, I feel like those spots should be addressed.

I’m taking a break from my run and this is such a cool park. This is actually my first park I have explored in Sunnyvale and I know there are so many more treasures. What’s so great about this one is that it looks like a grassland marsh. I really love when running trails are not on paved roads. It rather just dirt ones. I feel so at peace as I run around and look at everything this place has to offer. Now the running trail isn’t very long so you can loop around in ten minutes but doing laps is fine. There are open fields that people fly their planes or kites and there are lots of benches for bbq sites. There just so happens to be a baseball game over yonder. So cute. You can also find some mod architecture at the entrance. I can totes imagine a photoshoot here hehe :) btdubs, it’s hella windy over her.

Very good place to go for a walk, run, read, family activities.
A lot of parking
I love to go there but since 10÷24÷14 My best friend is missing, so I stopped going there. There are too many memories of him.

A nice place to take a walk, jog, bike, or think. A few playgrounds for the kiddos. A lot of open, green space — picnic, anyone? A still, quiet place to relax amid the surrounding corporate bustle.

Free entrance, I think because is fall/​winter season. A colleague brought me there for lunch/​walk. We got some falafels from a nearby restaurant and eat at a bench. It was lovely, as has been raining a lot these days and the skies were all showing dramatic clouds and you get a feeling of immensity and big space in there. I saw people running, jogging, walking and playing. Looks like an amazing area to do many things and so close from the Moffet Field based companies, so is fantastic to grab your sandwich or salad and indulge in fresh air more than in gourmet food. I think is is a place I would consider to bring a book to read and my watercolors to paint pieces of this landscape in one of the many picnic tables I saw. Well maintained and no trash to complain about.

Four stars because we have to pay entrance fee to this park. At least give Sunnyvale residents a free access like other city does in their parks.
Having said that — it is a gorgeous and very well maintained park and suitable for all kind of outdoors activity, from family outings to companies picnics it has it all. there are playgrounds, different kinds of trails branching out of the park, huge grass areas, BBQ pits, and plenty of parking. It’s size and layout makes it one of the best places for big groups gathering/​picnics.
I cross it at least twice a week with my bicycle on my way to work and always have an urge to stop and sit on the green grass. I wish they would take out the speed bumper at the entrance, it is not only very annoying but it’s also dangerous for cyclists. I Saw a few people falling off their bike on that bumper.

I’m going to take some liberties and say that this is basically my backyard! (Okay, if not for the fact that the 237 is in between.) But in all seriousness, this park is amazingly close and that is something we are so appreciative of!
This park is great because it is so multi-​functional. There are plenty of picnic tables, a large grassy green for sports, a small recycled-​water garden, an abandoned obstacles course that is fun to roam around, a boarded lookout with a gorgeous view, playgrounds, etc. Basically, there’s something to suit your mood for the day.
The space is immediately relaxing and is a great place for clearing your mind. We love it for after-​dinner walks!

When I was younger, my parents would take my sister and I to play at Baylands. We’d been invited to Birthday party BBQ’s, had bike rides, flown kites, played Frisbee, practiced catching softballs, and much more. Baylands played a big part in my childhood.
I haven’t been here in ages. Yesterday was my first time in about ten years, if not more, and I’ve only ever lived about a mile away the entire time.
Not much has changed — well, aside from the fact that everything looks smaller. I guess that’s what growing up does to you.
One of the bigger changes is the addition of trail routes that extend pretty far and involve plenty of scenery. These trails will take you out of the Baylands Park territory. The trails are perfect for walking, jogging, or biking — if your tires can handle the some-​what rocky terrain. If you have somewhat thinner tires, you should be able to manage if you’re careful — as long as you stay within the already paved bike tracks.

Baylands Park is a great place to fly your electric RC models, and a regular flying field for many enthusiasts. The park is very clean, with wide scenic views of the South Bay, jogging trails, and large clean picnic areas and restroom facilities. No pets are allowed. Take a video air tour aboard an rc helicopter and see the park from the sky here. Enjoy your flight!

My boyfriend and I jog here pretty often.
On a good day, this place has a gorgeous view on the trail with the clear blue sky, white fluffy clouds, and mountains in the backdrop. If you jog in the evening, you can also catch a grew view of the sunset. Bring some sandwiches along and you can have a romantic picnic too :)
It can get pretty windy/​chilly so I come here only in summer/​warmer days. I often see groups of people at the field playing soccer, or playing with their remote controlled planes. The play area seems to be popular for young kids too.
I once saw a snake on my jog and freaked out, but that only happened once.
