Maps to Milpitas Parks and Recreation Sites

For more information on Milpitas Parks Maintenance contact the Public Works Department at 408-586-2600.

Milpitas parks came into being in the 1970s when the “city of the future” was imagined to have homes on small lots, and sharing a large, common green space instead of large private yards. Many of our parks weave together, providing ways for pedestrians and bicyclists a way to move between homes, schools, and shops without having to be on busy roads.
