Ed R. Levin County Park, one of Santa Clara County's most unique regional park and
recreation areas.
This 1,541-acre park combines the traditional features of an urban park such as picnicking,
fishing and play areas, with the complex trail system of many regional wilderness parks.
Ed Levin's expansive lawn areas make it an ideal spot for family outings, while the rolling
grasslands and Oak woodlands are available to visitors looking for a back-to-nature
