Adobe Creek forms the backdrop for Shoup Park, which includes picnic tables, barbecue pits, turf areas, playground, parking and public restrooms. The 3.7-acre park is the home of the Underground Teen Center. Available rental facilities include the Garden House and the Patriot Corner Group Picnic area.
Good size park but not that large. The thing that stands out about this park is the river stream. The kids can go and play near it and throw rocks in it. They have 2 playground areas. The only drawback is the park is not that large and when it gets crowded, it can be tough to find parking.
My 2 1/2 year old son has loved this park since he was able to walk. It's quite large as other reviewers mentioned, and he's been able to enjoy both the big kids and little kids playgrounds. Lots of lawn space is great for running around or picnicking, and there's a whole section of picnic tables on the other side of the parking lot for large events/reservations. The highlight of this park for us, though, is the small stream that runs through it. For about the first half of each year (or during rainy seasons), the stream is a perfect place for little ones to splash about in shallow running water, so bring your boots if its cold or swim gear when warm. When the water dries up, though, a whole new dimension of fun opens up with a fun hiking opportunity along a dry creek bed. Following this path/creek led us to discover Redwood Grove (in another review), which is a fun little hike for toddlers/families.
Shoup Park is tucked away (quite literally) in a quiet residential neighborhood just across the way from downtown Los Altos. You can't see the park from the street - only the driveway that leads into the parking lot.
What an adorable park for babies, toddlers and big kids. Bring the picnic and bikes for the kids, because there's plenty of room at this park for spending a morning and afternoon there. Be sure to dress your kiddo's in their play clothes because if they get anywhere near the small river that runs through the park, they will either want to jump in, or try to skip rocks. Excellent playground for all ages and families were so friendly. Lots of shade and picnic tables around the perimeter of the park, average on the parking, big green grassy area for a kickball, soccer or tag game.
This park is GREAT. It is in a beautiful neighborhood, in a wonderful setting. Shoup park is HUGE! Your kids will stay busy here for hours. There are many paved paths, and so much grass.
Shoup has a small childrens section and then a pig kids park. You can entertain children from ages 6 months up!
