Los Gatos Creek Park, Regional park in Santa Clara County, California, United States.
Los Gatos Creek Park is a Santa Clara County park in Campbell, California, centered on a reshaped natural lake that once lay on the eastern boundary of Rancho Rinconada de Los Gatos. The Los Gatos Creek Trail runs north–south through the park, and a bike and pedestrian bridge over Highway 17 connects it to Mozart Avenue. A pavilion and picnic tables stand in the park, while the Los Gatos Creek County Dog Park and two casting ponds occupy its northern end.
