Three group picnic areas are available by reservation for weddings, ceremonies or other group functions. Hikers, bikers and equestrians may enjoy a variety of over 6 miles of single track and multi-use trails. Solitude may be found along many of the trails which connect with the Mid-Peninsula Open Space Fremont Older Preserve. Mountain bicycling is one of the more popular recreational activities at Stevens Creek Park. Upper Stevens Creek may be accessed through Stevens Creek Park and functions as one of a chain of many publicly owned lands located along the peninsula skyline.
