Things to Do

Picnickers, hikers, and campers will find Sanborn Park has much to offer. The Lake Ranch Trail offers a shaded, simple hike between Lake Ranch and Black Road.

The day use area offers various conveniences. A one mile nature trail is available to the park visitor which supplies a superb example of the flora and fauna found in the park. Picnic tables are available year round in the forty-acre, grass covered, day use area. For large parties, there are three group areas accessible by booking. For reservations, please phone (408) 355-2201. Throughout the summer months the park is home to the only outdoor Shakespearean business in Silicon Valley. Shady Shakespeare has been delighting crowds with excellent productions of the works of Williams Shakespeare. To learn more about Shady Shakespeare, see their site at www.shadyshakes.org.
