The Los Gatos Creek Trail is a paved jogging/biking path that
runs from the Willow Glen area of San Jose, thru Campbell and
Los Gatos and on to the Lexington Reservoir. Almost every
weekend you'll find me catching the trail right next to my
home and riding down to Vasona and Oak Meadow Parks (these
parks ajoin each other). Such a nice way to get some exercise
in the outdoors. The weekend is especially appealing to see
all the folks out and about.
There are several ways to experience the sights from
the Los Gatos Trail - just select items from the
categories in the tables below. For more information
about the sections of the train, see photo thumbnails
below.

The Los Gatos Creek Trail. A very versitile path that is used
by walkers, joggers, bicyclists and rollerbladders. You'll
find new moms with strollers and kids in tow with dads on
bicyles built for two. People out walking their dogs.
A charity walk/run.
For those that want a varied workout,
Campbell offers a "Par Course" featuring exercise
stations. You'll find fishermen trying their luck on the
perculation ponds.

Beautiful Vasona Lake in Los Gatos. One of the Santa Clara County Parks.
Weeping Willow trees with their branches brushing the water. A couple
of people playing frizbee. A group having a picnic. Another playing
a game of volleyball. Sailboats and paddleboats out on the lake.
Kids riding modern-day Big Wheels rentals. Ducks foraging for their
afternoon meal. Come out and enjoy this paradise right in the heart
of Silicon Valley...

OAK MEADOW PARK

Oak Meadow Park is Vasona's next-door neighbor. What Oak Meadow lacks
in size compared to Vasona is more than made up by it's personality.
I usually make this the destination of my weekend ride. The park
boasts a sand playground, a bandstand gazebo, an antique Carousel
with hand-carved horses and a miniature railroad. In fact, a ride
on the Billy Jones
Wildcat Railroad takes you into some of Vasona Park.
I just love to grab a cold drink at the snack bar and watch the
glee from the kids riding the Carousel to the sounds of
an authentic band organ. Come along and enjoy a day in the park...
