Suggestions for Landmarks and Outdoors near Palo Alto

Katelyn C. • January 28, 2018Amazing playground for babies! Love the multi-floor tree house. The slides are also the BEST in town (they’re even fun for the parents too)! :)

@flakitavalente™ 👜 • September 19, 2013Lovely park, great for kids and great for barbecues as well! Lots of parking spaces!

Brian B. • December 27, 2013Excellent place to feed the ducks, coots, and seagulls with a small child. Walking out on the marshland is pleasant as well.

Gerald S. • May 26, 2014My favorite park complete with friendly dogs, a baseball game to take in, and sociable people to talk with.

Arezou K. • August 22, 2017A wonderful collection in stanford campus. Kind of hidden and off the beaten path.

Saurabh P. • March 10, 2011Its the famous place where it all started,but remember that people do live in that house so keep quite and respect their privacy. Read the history on the board and feel the positive vibe of success

Citrus Lane • August 17, 2011Baby swings, a ship-shaped play structure, and a much-loved zero-depth wading pool for wee ones—all within walking distance of the Junior Museum, Children's Theatre, and Library. What's not to like?
