Ortega Park

Little bit of everything I expect of a park. Has picnic areas, basketball courts, tennis courts, lots of grassy areas and a decent amount of parking. Has lights also at night so your game doesnt end when it gets dark. Gets a lot of use so dont expect to roll in and be able to take over like 5 picnic tables on a Saturday afternoon. Lots of dogs usually which is cool to me but may be a negative to others. Bathroom usually in ok order but they are public bathroomso uhm dont get your expectations too high

Nice big park! We went in December so didn’t even look for the waterpark-​type area that other reviewers have been praising. We went just for basketball, and there are a LOT of courts, including one short one for kids. Most of the hoops didn’t have nets when we went, which isn’t great but maybe they were being cycled out after the recent rains. There are also clean bathrooms and a few water fountains. Nice place, definitely would come back.

Absolutely fantastic park with lots of play options for kids…
Good for all seasons — there is plenty of shade available, picnic areas, parking, swings, slides, play structures, and a rock climbing wall…
Have been to most parks in the area, this one stands out and in my top 2 choices to take my kid to…

Hands down the best park in the area. Water features, play areas, climbing wall running track tennis courts. picnic areas.

I was offered meth here once at night time.

Gorgeous park! Loads of shade and different play structures. There is a water feature that the little ones can run through. There is a rock climbing wall for the kids also! I love that there is a lot of grass also for the kids to run a muck in. Great park. Just be sure to go not during peak hours because parking can be an issue

A beautiful park. Set in a typical American suburban neighborhood. Plenty of swings, playground structures, rock climbing and water features. This park is a lifesaver on hot days. Kids can run through huge water spewing flowers to cool off. I’m not gonna lie, I do too!!!

This park was great. Centrally located in Sunnyvale with plenty of parking. There are baseball fields, a picnic area with a BBQ and state of the art play structures. There was even a water play structure (which was off when we were there, likely due to the drought). Overall, this is a nice park that I would recommend visiting.

Hidden gem in sunnyvale — lash green, well maintained park. Kid’s play area is so beautiful with rock climb. Best place for picnic, relax at any time. Best in its class.

by far the best park in sunnyvale. this park has it all, from a big ass grassy field, multiple play areas for kids of all ages including me and multiple picnic areas w sufficient amounts of shade foe asians who are afraid to become dark meat lol. Park is not too easy to find and you can easily end up lost like me

Absolutely Stunning. This park is beautiful and great for kids! Fresh open grassy areas and a good number of park benches for large group gatherings. The bathrooms are relatively clean for a public park’s standard. There’s a lot of playground area for the little ones. Also a large pagoda looking structure that kids would just have a ton of fun in. This park is also great to just play catch or toss a frisbee around. Conveniently located next to a school, this park is easily accessible in the heart of Sunnyvale and is in a great neighborhood. Pictures explain it all

Ortega park is the place to be if you’re with your friends and don’t know what to do, especially here around sunnyvale where it’s so boring

nice park for all age groups!..
Occasionally, u ll have Music bands playing around.
Indian RSS meet ups happen there.
kids have many play areas & zones.
U can find it as a nice stroll park except for weekends. Weekends are bit crowded & jazzy.

Really great park in Sunnyvale, and very popular! There’s 2 playgrounds, swings for big kids or infants, a wall climbing structure and the best feature, a water area for hot summer days. A lot of picnic tangles, and good for BBQ and birthday parties
It can get pretty crowded after school or summertime, but it’s a park with multiple features, what do you expect?

My children and I found this park on a whim. I went to my Dr’s office to pick up some supplements but the receptionist was on lunch so I found this park on Unilocal and decided to come here to kill an hour. It’s tucked away in a neighborhood by a school and it’s a really beautiful park. There are restrooms on site, there is a water fountain area for the kids when it’s hot which my kids loved! There is even a rock climbing thing too! There’s a whole set of big kid swings and baby swings and a playground area. There are plenty of seating areas to eat and from a distance I could see a gazebo type area where all these were playing under. The best part of it all, there was tons of shade! So it’s great to bring a blanket and food and you could have a little picnic.

What a great park! The water feature area entertained my boys (4 and 2) for HOURS! The park was really nicely laid out. Beautiful trees. A cool rock climbing wall, flanked by playgrounds geared for toddlers and older kids. We had a great time. Got crowded after 3pm.
Just became my favorite playground. :)

Our kids had a great time at Ortega Park. They enjoyed the playground as well as the water fountain area.
The were a bunch of other activities available as well such as rock climbing and tennis.
The BBQ pits were very nice as well. Too bad we didn’t bring some steaks to grill.

I attended a birthday party at Ortega Park this weekend. The hosts were able to reserve the picnic area which included a BBQ pit, prep area w/​sink, and tables w/​benches. Ortega Park was nestled deep in a residential area in Sunnyvale.
Most of the park and facilities looked brand-​spanking new. There were plenty of wide-​open grassy areas, great playground structures, and a fun water play area. The only thing that looked like it needed an upgrade were the restrooms. Ortega Park is definitely a winner.

I love Ortega Park. It’s my «home» park so I really do care about it.
The workers do their best to keep the grounds clean, and it is. It’s one of the best maintained parks around.
I love seeing corporate picnics or kids’ birthday parties here. The park is alive with people and activity. Lots of birds and beautiful trees.
Sadly, tanbark areas have started to appear, choking out some of the areas that were formerly covered with grass.
A lot of people come to the area to play soccer and baseball. The huge lawn near Stocklmeir Elementary is an inviting open space where many different sport activities can occur at one time. There’s a tennis court and a basketball court as well.
The playground area is nice. They need more older kid swings and more shade, though. A good feature of the park is the area where kids can play in a water fountain. The playground areas are separated very nicely, with toddler/​small kids in a fenced location so they can’t wander off.
I can’t stand the pigs who litter with Chinese newspapers or beverage containers, etc., and I pick them up when I see them and put them where they belong. It kills me to think that there are people that take the loveliness of this place for granted. Disturbingly, I’ve found nitro pills in their cases (because there are a lot of caretakers that bring kids here). I don’t know how common that is, but I’ve found two cases of nitro pills here. I took them home and turned them in at the medical and hazardous materials drop off at the Sunnyvale SMART Center.
So, besides some of the negatives, I still give this place 5 stars. I truly think that it’s one of the best parks in Sunnvyale.

Absolutely fantastic park — about as pretty as they come. Only reason it’s not 5 stars is that it seems everyone and their dog (literally) know about it so on any half-​decent day it’s crowded, crowded, CROWDED. I’ve never had to wait in an informal line as long to get my kid in a swing…
Again, not knocking the park — go during a down time and it’s amazing. Just don’t show up for a Saturday lunch and expect to be by yourself.
