DOWN FOR PICTURES AND DESCRIPTIONS
WELCOME! There are numerous picnic areas throughout the
park which can accommodate small to very large groups. Most are available on a
non-reservable (first come, first served basis). One adult may
save only one table and please do not leave children alone in the park.
Most picnic sites surround a large open turf
area open to all for fun and games. Volleyball
and horseshoe courts are available and equipment may be loaned from the
Marina.
Designated
picnic areas are available through advanced reservations for a
reservation fee ranging from $60-$500 for residents of San
Jose; non-residents pay a higher rate.
