Guadalupe Oak Grove Park, 4/6/16 & 5/16/17 by Ronald Horii
Guadalupe Oak Grove Park is a 62.7-acre oasis of open space in the middle of San Jose's Almaden Valley. It has groves of old oaks and sandstone hills where there was once a rock quarry. There are shady paths through the oak forests and hillside trails with views of the Almaden Valley and the South Bay. In the spring, the park is covered with green grass and wildflowers. The first set of pictures are views from spring 2016. The second set is from 5/16/17 and shows the hill at the north side of the park.
To get there, take Almaden Expressway to McAbee Road. Turn left on Thorntree Drive. There are entrances at Fontana Park or farther north on Thorntree Drive, where there's a small parking lot and restroom. There's also a neighborhood entrance on Vargas Drive.
