Nearby parks offer playgrounds, trails and agricultural exhibits
For outdoor recreation, many families head to Miner Park, a 5-acre space with a playground and a paved walking loop. But the area's main highlight is that it's less than 1 mile from Martial Cottle Park. This nearly 300-acre space began as a privately owned ranch but became something more. "When the owner passed away about 20 years ago, he agreed to donate all of his land to the city of San Jose as long as they promised to turn it into a park and wouldn't use it for residential development," says Christopher Ward, Realtor with Legacy Real Estate & Associates. "The city kept its promise." While the area still has working farms, the park also offers:
Over 3 miles of trails for walking, biking and horseback riding
The Rusty Areias Community Garden, where people can rent plots annually
A visitor center filled with local farm history exhibits
Scenic picnic areas near orchards and open fields
Uncle Monte's Discovery Farm, which has a playground and animal sculptures
Martial Cottle Park offers multiuse trails and scenic views.
People love to run and play on the lawns at Miner Park.

The event promotes health and wellness through lawn games and resource fairs.

Local food vendors and artisan booths are spread throughout the festival grounds.
