Every day, every season Cuesta Park is the right place to be. This park has a very highly-rated tennis club, age-appropriate playground equipment, fields for pick-up games, a Bocce court, individual barbecue sites as well as a large group picnic/BBQ area. It's never too noisy. There's plenty of open space and paved paths as well as an un-manicured annex where Great Blue Herons have been seen in the wild grasses. There's always plenty of shade and sunny areas. Groves of tall redwoods and green lawns flowing up and down gentle rises. The park is not completely flat but no area is hard to maneuver on foot, bicycle, wheelchair or stroller. The city hosts concerts some summer evenings; the neighborhood has movie nights and ice-cream socials. The City of Mountain View maintains clean public restrooms and water fountains. TripAdvisor asks when we traveled here so we had to pick a date, but we're really here very often all year 'round.

I go every Sunday with friends, rain or shine, and we are never disappointed. The vendors are friendly, the produce and other foods are always fabulous, fresh and well-priced. You need to go early as it gets crowded!!

Moffett Field is an active base and photo ID is required to enter. The Moffett Field Museum is a must see to relive the time when air shops, capable of holding more than five 747's moved through the skies. The museum has all military uniforms for all the services of the time. Static and interactive displays show life in the Air Ship era. EXAMPLE - an Air Force Uniform which copied US Navy uniforms. EXAMPLE - displays showing the magnificence of Air Ships and their tragic history is all in photo displays.DOCENTS are there to explain the displays and the flight trainers. NICHOLAS VERONICO was there and signed his book on Moffett Field for us. SPEND TIME - Talk with the docents - try out the trainers - read all of the information charts on all of the displays - ask questions. Take a tour outside to see some Spy Planes and listen to their history. SEE THE MAMMOUTH SHELTER FOR THE AIR SHIPS AND BE AMAZED AT THIS MASSIVE STRUCTURE. There are simply to many people to recognize but all of the docents are simply a wealth of knowledge and worth taking time to listen to their presentations.
