making our own parking space in a tiny little lot

walking by 2 friendly yet hungry horses and some poop

Mission Peak Regional Park

Stanford and Vineyard Ave
Fremont, CA 94539

Gur E. writes: Phew! I am OUT of breath.

Straight UP and then Straight Down.

Seemed like a competition rather than a hike. I like a mix of ups and downs with a few trees, a little more nature and might be a squirrel or two.

All I saw was Dog Poop, Cow Poop,…

Vasona Lake County Park

333 Blossom Hill Road
Los Gatos, CA 95032

21600 Big Basin Way
Boulder Creek, CA 95006

May T. writes: It was a beautiful and warm Sunday.

The 10-ish mile loop to the three waterfalls and around some of the steeper terrain was pretty good. Not as strenuous or difficult as Mt. Diablo, but enough to bring a nice sheen of sweat and hard breathing on…

Happy Hollow Park & Zoo

1300 Senter Road
San Jose, CA 95112

Lise B. writes: Excellent place to take kids of all ages. The kids especially had a blast in the "Animal Contact Area" where they fed the donkey, miniature horse, goats, and some kind of a funky Indian cow.

But the main reason they get 5 starts from me: they are big…

Cornelis Bol Park

Lemans Karting

45957 Hotchkiss St
Fremont, CA 94539

Oak Meadow Park

200 Blossom Hill Road
Los Gatos, CA 95032

Linda M. writes: This was worth the trek down to Los Gatos for a playdate with one of my south bay friends. What a great park!

Coyote Hills Regional Park

8000 Patterson Ranch Rd
Fremont, CA 94555

Wes M. writes: Coyote Hills must be quite a boon for Newark/Fremont residents--it's pretty much the only place south of the city where you've got hills right on the edge of the bay. It's especially striking how one minute you're in suburbia and then suddenly…

Shoreline Billiards

1400 N Shoreline Blvd
Ste C-1
Mountain View, CA 94043

Gerard Y. writes: Great place to shoot some pool, albeit it's sort of a far drive for me. It's worth it though. They have plenty of tables where you can play 8-ball and 9-ball on so there's really no waiting time unlike at other pool halls where you might have to wait…

REI

1119 Industrial Rd
San Carlos, CA 94070

Amy D. writes: I go through these really drastic "I need to get healthy" phases. During one such phase, that entailed "training" for a half marathon. Balls to the wall, right? That means going from 0 to 13.1 miles!

I decided that if I was going to be a "runner," I…

The Running Revolution

511 E Campbell Ave

Roaring Camp Railroads

5355 Graham Hill Rd
Felton, CA 95018

San Jose, CA 95130

Jeremy P. writes: It's located in strip mall fashion across from the mall. That changes things up a bit for me. This is the first REI I've been to that doesn't have it's own building and that kind of lessens the experience in my opinion. Let me explain:

1) Parking…

San Jose, CA 95113

van ness d. writes: Underneath the stiletto heels, the makeup, the vamp-ish dresses...I admit: I'm a Tomboy at heart.

Stanford Golf Course

198 Junipero Serra Blvd
Stanford, CA 94305

Brad P. writes: Having played this golf course more than 50 times in the past 20 years, I feel convicted in offering my highest rating for this golf course. This isn't about the amenities, or the food or anything but the golf course itself.

The reason this course is…
