Meadow Park

Natural Oasis

Meadow Park, a gift to the City of Santa Clara from The Irvine Company, opened its gates in 2020. What makes this park special? It's designed around a natural meadow habitat that gives you a refreshing outdoor escape from the usual city park experience.

We love how the designers thoughtfully incorporated elements that complement the surrounding environment. Many of the features you'll enjoy are crafted from local reclaimed redwoods - a sustainable choice that adds a wonderful earthy character to the space.

Play Spaces

The massive climbing net nestled under the shade of towering redwood trees is a popular attraction for kids. It's quite the adventure spot for children and teens alike! The park thoughtfully includes two distinct playgrounds for different age groups, and you'll notice they're designed with a natural, understated aesthetic that blends perfectly with the park's overall vibe.

If you have little ones, you're in luck - the play areas are particularly well-suited for preschoolers. The clean, thoughtful design makes this a go-to spot for many local families looking for a safe and engaging place for their children.

Getting Active

Need to squeeze in some exercise? The park features a lovely redwood trail dotted with fitness stations where you can work out surrounded by nature. For those who enjoy longer walks or runs, the park connects to the creek trail, expanding your options for outdoor activity.

Large open fields provide space for a casual stroll, morning jog, or walking your leashed dog. Pet waste stations are available across the park for easy cleanup, though keep in mind there isn't a designated off-leash area here.

Gather & Relax

Planning a get-together? The park includes a welcoming group picnic area with plenty of tables and barbecue pits. It's an ideal spot for family gatherings, casual meetups, or simply enjoying a meal in pleasant surroundings.

You'll be happy to know there are clean, well-maintained restroom facilities available - a small but important detail that makes longer visits much more comfortable. On sunny days, you might notice the lawn sprinklers creating rainbows in the sunlight.

Finding Your Way

Meadow Park is tucked within a larger business and residential complex. Parking is limited to about 7 street spaces, but the silver lining is that you're within walking distance of shopping, dining options, a Whole Foods, and even a craft brewery when you're ready to extend your day beyond the park.
