Ed R. Levin Park climbs from Milpitas toward Monument Peak
Ed R. Levin County Park gives Milpitas a large foothill park with trails, picnic areas, fishing, dog-park space, and views toward the Bay.
Milpitas sits right against the foothills, and Ed R. Levin County Park is the big public way into that side of the city.
The park has picnic areas, fishing, play areas, and a large trail system, but the part that changes the feel of the place is the climb toward Monument Peak. From up high, you can see the valley floor and the Bay, which makes Milpitas feel less like a freeway-and-office city and more like a foothill town.
The park also has everyday details that matter. There is a dog park, with large and small dog areas, and it is owned and operated by Milpitas. Fees, lake conditions, and trail closures can change, so check the park pages before planning a long outing.
