Lafayette Park

Lafayette Park is a public park in Santa Clara County with walking trails that wind through gardens planted with native California species. The grounds feature maintained pathways shaded by mature trees throughout the property.

The park was established in 1851 as one of the early public green spaces in Santa Clara County. Its creation reflected the growing commitment to providing recreational areas for community use.

Local organizations regularly coordinate outdoor activities and social gatherings at Lafayette Park, strengthening neighborhood connections through shared experiences.

Visit during daylight hours when the trails are easiest to navigate and the garden plantings are most visible. Wear comfortable shoes since you will be walking on various paths throughout the grounds.

The park includes designated off-leash zones where dogs can run and play freely with their owners. These special areas have become popular with people looking to exercise their pets in a controlled setting.
