Peter D Gill Memorial Park

WHAAAAT public tennis courts with LIGHTS? nice! This park also has basketball courts, walls for you to practice tennis or racquetball, and a nice gazebo area. What I love most is the baseball field… it is fenced and depending on when you go, empty. That means I can close all the fences and let my dog run. she loves it!

Great, large park. Tennis courts (always in use, so get here early, very early), tennis walls and basket ball court. Large baseball field, plus tremendous amount of open field for soccer, volleyball, etc. Also has two playgrounds plus covered and uncovered BBQ areas.
Next to slightly busy streets, so keep an eye on the kids.

This park is GREAT! It has everything! Large baseball field where you can close all the gates and dugouts and let your dogs run around (it’s like an unofficial dog park depending what time of day you go) and I haven’t stepped on any poop so I’m assuming dog owners are pretty responsible around here. POOP bags, THICK poop bags are available at certain spots around the park and they refill them Water fountains! Basketball courts, tennis courts, walking paths, picnic tables, shade, wall for hand ball, benches, bleachers, play ground areas with sand, parking lot and street parking, bathrooms! Vending machines. Overall clean, trash bins are never overflowing with trash like some other parks, and overall not ghetto considering the houses surrounding it are nice.

Very well kept and nicely groomed! They have it all, picnic tables, basketball courts, tennis courts, etc. I came here for a company picnic and it was perfect for an outdoor event, plenty of space and lots to do.
No entrance fee and enough parking for a decent sized group.

Great set of 3 tennis courts here in a peaceful residential area of Milpitas. Do note that quite a few older folks take up the courts during the day even on weekdays, so be ready for a wait sometimes.
Restrooms aren’t particularly clean, just a heads up.

Picnic. Baseball. Baseball picnic! Tennis, soccer training, dog walking today.

Great park for playing tennis! I am new to the area and happened upon a group playing tennis here one evening. I was able to get a few games in and found out that they play here almost everyday around 5pm which is great. Well lit, well maintained courts. There are three courts but everyone seems to get along and follow the rules of not hogging the courts for a long time (1 hour for singles play, 1.5 hours for doubles) The basketball court also looks pretty nice. Bathrooms were surprisingly clean!

I love this park! It has everything, IMO. Tennis courts, basketball courts, playgrounds, bbq area, volleyball area, and even 2 walls to smack your tennis ball back and forth while you wait for the court.
It’s in a nice, quiet little tucked in neighborhood as well.

Today I participated in Reciprocal Energy’s First Annual 5k/​10K fun runs supporting Milpitas Teen Recreation and American Diabetes Association. This event took us through and back the park as part of our 5K/​10K runs.
This is a big park.
Paved pathways
Play structure
Tennis courts
Baseball diamond
Large grassy areas
Many trees surround the park.

Here is why you should come to gill park:
#1 Sports– I am an avid basketball player and the group of folks that come out to play here every afternoon are so fun. A lot of places are real competitive, but here it’s a chill atmosphere, good folks, and everyone understands that this is not the NBA. Basketball not your thing? Well there is a beautiful baseball diamond, nice little play ground for the kiddies, and well lit tennit courts. Afternoon time gets busy so be sure to plan accordingly.
#2– Picnics– One of the very few parks that provide a roof over their picnic tables. Plus the tables are in close proximity to the courts and grassy area so your guests can take full advantage of the park.
#3– Bathrooms– Weird? Yes, I am pretty iffy about using park restrooms, but Gill park is maintains quite well. Far from anything modern or anything you’d find at say… a starbucks… but as far as park restrooms are concerned, they do quite well.
#4– Parking– Yes, the dedicated parking lot to Gill park can fill quick especially if there are numerous picnics happening, but not a lot of people realize that the residential parking is fair game. Just be respectful to the neighbors. Also, if you know the secret parking spot through the residential streets on the back, you’re sure to find a spot.

i just came back from a birthday party at this park, a party for my cousin’s one year old daughter. it’s a nice park. it has a softball field, lots of grass, tennis courts, walls for bouncing balls against, picnic areas, and a playground. i wish it had a playground for smaller kids since my son’s still only two, while the playground is for kids five and up. obviously, i also wish it had a skateboard park because every park ought to be a skateboard park, and that’s because skateboarding is good. the picnic area has tables and grills. the ground is pretty clean, and i couldn’t smell the landfill on a late winter afternoon, which is good.

This park is small but it’s a fun park to be at. Their’s always a people here playing tennis, basketball and a bunch of other activities. It has plenty of grass for dogs to play around, plenty of picnic tables and BBQ grills for parties,
They offer doggie bags here which the city provides which I think is awesome because I sometimes forget to bring bags to pick up my dogs little poopies when I walk him.
They have a baseball field, a basketball court, tennis courts, 2 play grounds as well. My friend throw an annual softball game here every summer and the baseball field meets everything we need to play. A field lol.
This park is very clean despite of the amount of people that come here and the people that walk their dogs I see when I am at the park.

I use to come here early on Saturday morning to play b-​ball. They have a nice court and pretty good pick up games. Expect to see alot of people walking their dogs for this park is super dog friendly. The only bad this is, when it get dark it greats really dark so don’t expect to stay long hours in the winter. Overall decent park with lots of BBQ grills, a few tennis courts, one full bball court, some swings and a play ground for the little monsters (AKA kids) and one baseball field.

Great park to have a BBQ! Limited parking spaces, but plenty of street parking. Playgrounds, baseball field, basketball, tennis courts and plenty of BBQ grills with tables and benches under a covered area. Restrooms are bearable. Overall, it’s a clean park and in a quiet neighborhood so it’s pleasant.

This is totally my dog’s favoriteeeee park! I know this may sound weird, but they have wonderful grass! After having a dog for a year and going to a bunch of different parks, I began to notice how each park has a certain level of quality when it comes to their grass.
I live by a park but I always drive over to Gill Park because it makes my dog happy. Since we’ve gone here every day this summer, he’s made a bunch of new friends! He’s always really happy and does his business 90% of the time!
I always see a lot of family and friends come out here too. It’s a great place for BBQs, basketball, tennis, and volleyball. There’s also a little play ground little kids always love to play in. The park is spacious and beautiful. I always feel safe because there are a lot of regulars around and everyone is so friendly.
The park is always kept clean too! There are no weeds and the grass is trimmed regularly. Also, I don’t have to be scared of stepping in doggie feces as much at this park because they have doggie bags for people who don’t bring their own. Most days, people have a decency to clean up after themselves. That’s like +50 bazillion points right there.

Close to milpitas high school. Always has kids. Very good atmosphere. Love to come play basketball here. People are friendly. Good place for parties too.

This park is awesome and clean! There’s a baseball diamond, tennis courts, basketball court, playground, restroom and plenty of parking on the street if the parking lot is ever full. Best of all? The lights! It’s bright enough to keep the baseball diamond lit plus the sides where my kids have their soccer practice :)

Park is great for basketball. Only reason for not giving a ⁵⁄₅ is a guy named Harold never brings his poncho when I make it rain on him all dayyyyyyy.

I never knew about this park till a friend introduced me to it today. I’ve been looking for a place to play tennis at night (when I have the urges), and lo and behold, this place has it! I’ve always thought of Milpitas has a pretty ghetto place with no nice parks, but this is one of the nicest parks I’ve seen around the area! It has swings, a very nice b-​ball court, 3 tennis courts, a BATHROOM, a handball wall, a place to bbq… it’s sweet!

This is probably the cleanest public park I’ve been to. I grew up in Milpitas, and there are several choice parks around here, but I always end up at Gill park whether to play tennis with my dad on weekend mornings, have BBQ afternoons with friends, or hang out with my friend’s dog in the field.
The tennis courts are kept in good condition, and the lights are very bright, which is a very important quality if you want to play tennis at night and not return a serve with your nuts.
