I went cycling here, and loved it. It's beautiful, has some free and paid parking, and is very friendly to hikers!

To me, it's the most beautiful park in the greater San Jose area. At the hillside, I could see hills with craggy rocks and the meadow that reaches far. At the hilltop, I was able to view an amazing scenery that surrounds the hills -- wetlands, lakes, Dumbarton Bridge, and over-a-dozen sea-salt farms that wrap the bridge. Birds made the wetlands their home, hovering above in the shadow of a full moon in a late sunny afternoon. The park is a God-given gift to Fremont. This is where people could relax, work out, photograph, and enjoy their life after work.

This area is rich in Ohlone history. On a clear day, the views across the bay to Sunnyvale and San Francisco are awesome.Neat history of SALT production.Be careful, the path is shared by runners, bikers and walkers alike.

This is a great place to go and even if you are not a hiker you can start on a pretty flat trail and gradually work your way up. As you get better there are alternate paths that you can challenge yourself and work your way up to a very good work out.

This is an enjoyable large park (978 acres) that has beautiful bike and many wonderful hiking/biking trails. There is wonderful areas for picnics, as well as areas for group fires (i.e. fire ring). There is a small museum with a nice garden area, Ohlone Indian and wildlife exhibits; thre is also a park store.One of my favorite walks is the rather level one from the parking lot to the bay - amazing views of the bay and Dumbarton Bridge from here. Dumbarton Bridge is a bay that goes from the East Bay to the West Side of the Bay (i.e. East Palo Alto area).There is diversity of landscapes and views throughout the park.The admission price is free if you bike in; its $5.00 per car if you do not.

I think it is a nice place to walk around alone with your thoughts, may be have a meditation on one of those hills. I saw some people having BBQ or lunch in the designated areas. Quiet and peaceful place but a bit windy. Nice small museum showing the history of local Indian tribes.5$ a car admission

It is a small trek which takes 30 mins to climb though not a tough one..but not for old age people who can't walk much...u get an unobstructed view from top with sitting arrangements nicely done on top ..view is not fantabulous but worth while..u can pay $5 n park inside or can park half a mile out for free and walk..walk from outside free parking is surrounded by mustard plants.. ddlj movie scene..overall nice evening or morning get away place..mind u restrooms are in very bad shape..

I have been here once and it was a very pretty hike. The over looked a marshland and fremont. There are many trails to choose to hike. Some trails have very steep hills. Personally I do not like hiking, but this was an enjoyable hike.

I have been coming here for years with my family. There are many intersecting trails here - some wind between the hills, (which you can easily view on flights coming to the San Francisco/San Jose/Oakland area from the east), some are flat through marshland, & some wind along the western rim of the hills overlooking the SF Bay. There is a good variety of things to see here, especially if you keep your eyes open. You can get peace, relaxation & exercise here. During the Feb-April months, you will likely see many wildflowers - these may disappear once housing construction starts nearby. If you don't want the pay the small amount to park within the park, park outside the gate for free.

I've been coming here for years and it is still a great park. Coyote Hills Regional Park is a very nice park to spend a couple of hours in. It offers various hiking trails of different difficulty levels. There are also bird watching opportunities especially between the ponds. Biking is another possibility in this park, there are several paved trails and unpaved ones for mountain biking. You can have a view of the SFO bay from the trails and there is a board walk between the ponds. There is a nice visitor center with a shaded picnic area. The park also features some history about the local Ohlone Indians.

Great fishing if you are using the right equipment and bait, the time is right, it has been planted and you have patience.

A great palce to spend a whole day, afternoon or evening for a hike and/or a barbeque with natural surrounding very close to the 84 Highway. Crowded on nice sunny days but afun place to hike even on rainy days. Children can learn a lot about Indian burial grounds and culture.

I love this park. It is at the end of the Alameda Creek Trail. You can ride a bike down the trail starting in Niles and ride down to the bay. You can ride all around the park and back again. The total round trip is about twenty miles. You can also go right next to the bay or ride up the hills. There are good facilities for picnicking. I believe at times there are docent led tours of the shell mounds and remains of indian encampments.

This is a nice, easy spot to reach. Depending on your mood, you can take a long, flat walk around the hills or head straight to the top of one (or two) of them for a good workout. The views of the bay are nice. We've been a few times (weekends, weekdays, mornings, afternoons, etc) and it doesn't seem to ever be too busy.Be prepared for the wind and sun!

This is a great spot for a walk. Trails, picnic areas, visitors building & plenty of parking. We visited towards sunset & found it very enjoyable.
