Popular seasonal events and year-round recreation at Almaden Lake Park
Almaden Lake Park, an outdoor recreation hub, is within walking distance of all residences, meaning locals can avoid the parking fees. The park is a popular spot for fishing, picnicking and playing bocce; dog walkers and cyclists can take the loop around the lake, which connects to Guadalupe River Trail heading north and Los Alamitos Creek Trail heading south. The amphitheater offers prime seating for events like the Fourth of July fireworks and the Water Lantern Festival; the sparkling fireworks and the glowing paper lanterns create reflections on the lake at night. The park’s seasonal concession stand offers snacks and drinks. Families can also play mini golf at Golfland San Jose or go to the outdoor pool at South Valley Family YMCA.
