The park provides trails for jogging, hiking and bicycling, as well as soccer and baseball/softball diamonds for group sports, and multiple picnic areas.[1] The Christmas Hill Park Ranch Site adjoins east of the park, and provides an environmental education center, as well as additional sports facilities.[2]
The park is open seven days a week from 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM from March - October, and 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM from November - February.[3]
History
The park and adjoining ranch site have served as a base camp for CalFire managing recent wildfires in the region.[4][5][6]
The park also hosts the annual Gilroy Garlic Festival.
