Hidden Lake Park

Milpitas, this is a nice place to run to get away from buildings and noise. When you run around this lake its kind of just you and the lake. It is fun to be next to water.

I liked running around here, and there are some little stair cases to run up as well if you’re into that. The only con is that there’s not much to it and it’s not very clean, but a really cute little hidden lake nonetheless!

I love this place! Great place for a quick run if you want to avoid all the cars and traffic.

Peaceful, quiet (most of the time) lake. The lake itself isn’t that big, so the walk/​jog around it can be pretty short. There’s also a few places to sit down and relax here. The view’s pretty nice. the lake is nice to look at as well. About 10, give or take a few parking spaces, so it’s not so bad. Lake looks pretty nice during the sunset, too!

I come here to fish. Awesome park. –1 star for the asian guys who keep the fish… like…really??? makes me wonder if there’s any fish in the lakes in china anymore… sad sad sad.

Lovely spot hidden away from the busy streets. The lake is small but intimate. There’s a lot of cute ducks around. Some shades areas. There’s picnic tables too and usually plenty of parking.

Couldn’t find it, that’s why it’s called Hidden Lake Park.
Just kidding. My dog and I used to come here and walk. It’s a small manmade lake. Nothing special but I imagine it would be pretty neat if you live right next to it and wanted to do a quick jog around a lake.

Small and could use a little maintenance.
So we were looking for a place to take our baby for walk and was hesitant on going far. This place is close enough, so short drive. And the pictures looked nice (my son loves water!) so we decided to come here.
It seems as though the Berryessa Creek Trail runs behind this «lake» and we only walked a short distance of this. The «lake» itself is small and it is a super quick stroll around it.
Plus side, you see turtles popping their heads up every so often, there are ducks and geese.
Bad: there are ducks and geese (plenty of poo!!!) and there seems to be a LOT of pigeons as well. Some pretty fat. So they must be fed well? Also, the little fencing they have has lots of cobwebs and stuff.
Overall, nice little park but not really wort a drive to come here… If we lived walking distance I could see us coming here more often…

Ideal place to get a quick jog in. Located in convenient spot for residents in this dense neighborhood. There’s plenty of ducks who will appreciate being fed.

Nice spot for a jogging and walking around. It’s really pretty, only downside is that the smell can get reaaaally bad at times.

Hidden indeed! My gps brought me to different places every time that I got lost and put the same address again and again was transported to different locations. Finally got there, easy parking as was almost empty, only one person fishing and a couple fishing love. It could be a great place to run or walk but not for a picnic or just spending much time as really stinks. Now I get this Milpitas thing… is sad as is a beautiful place but the smell is terrible (for my sensitive nose at least). If you can pass that, this is a nice place to go and have a short hike or lazy time reading a book in solitude.

Of course I love this spot, that’s why I live in this area. Very peaceful and quiet location to enjoy walks with your Family or Pet. The view of the Hills are very nice too.

Nice park with a lake that’s hidden. That’s why it’s called Hidden Lake Park. There’s fish in the water, but for the love of the sport and so that the fish can grow bigger, please release them after you catch them. The water is reclaimed and filthy, so you might want to reconsider catching the fish to eat. Don’t be a fob.

A peaceful park that few know about. I’ve lived in the area all my life, and only recently discovered it through a friends review. You can easily miss it; it’s set in from Milpitas Blvd. Berryessa Creek Trail forms the western boundary, with townhouses concealing it from view on the other sides.
I parked in the small lot. A grassy area with some barbeques and picnic tables are nearby. Headed in a counterclockwise direction for a lazy walk around the lake. I had the park to myself; just me and a lot of birds with a few ducks that were concentrated along the north shore. Adjacent is a bench dedicated to the memory of Michael Wells.
A little ways after that is a pier, and staircases that lead to the Berryessa Creek Trail. Two water fountains spray out from the lake. Another picnic area with a lone table completed the stroll.
It’ was roughly a fifteen minute walk; a perfect quick break if you happen to be passing through.

This place is called hidden lake because it’s pretty much hidden from the rest of the neighborhood! Not a lot of people know about this place unless you really explore Milpitas :) I actually found this place with my group of friends back in the days because we walked everywhere back in high school!
I revisited this place recently to show my mom the view when the sun sets :) it’s a great place for walking with a date, fishing, or running around. The lake is said to be shaped like a heart! How adorable :) it take around 12 min to walk around the whole lake :) There are birds, ducks, and geese always in the area so they’re fun to watch. There was once a humongous turkey like bird there and I named him Fred!

How come none of the reviews mention anything about the smell?! I know Milpitas is known to smell like garbage in general but it was just sooo much worse here. I took two steps and almost barfed and went straight back to the car. Other than that, it would be a nice park for a jog!
Also, if you can’t find it, just look for the big sign that says Hidden Lake Park! :)

Haha «hidden» I get it. You can easily miss the entrance if you don’t pay attention going north on N Milpitas Blvd. The lake is tucked between two residential communities. It can be a relaxing walk around the pond. There are ducks and geese occasionally. It’s quaint with no frills. Outdoor space and recreational area are always welcome in my book.

I am of the belief that we can not have enough parks and trees.
This park is a lovely little park nested in a flurry of apartments.
I would like to call this park «Lovers Hidden Lake Park» because it is a beautiful spot to bring your paramour and enjoy the scenery. It is quite small, however there is a lot of bird life.
Come by and take a quick walk. It’ll probably be the most beautiful thing/​semblance of nature that you’ll see all day.

Small, hidden little reclamation pond in Milpitas. My wife and I used to take walks there («Why can’t we walk around our own neighborhood?» you may ask. Because we don’t live by a lake, that’s why.) Less than half a mile around, so multiple laps are almost always in order. We take my four year old’s bike and he happily rides while we walk. We love feeding the ducks and geese. All in all, it’s a nice place and we go often.

It’s a concrete track around a duck pond.
I get the impression that this was built to give some varity to the scenery in the area, thick with condos, apartments and power lines.
We stumbled into the place after finding we had a couple hours to kill between point A and point B and needed to stretch the dogs legs.
Consensus; while it served its purpose, I’m not in a huge hurry to return.
