Alum Rock

Alum Rock and the Berryessa Neighborhood in San Jose provide the best action for thrill seekers. Drop in at California’s largest skate park, Lake Cunningham Regional Skate Park, and hike in Alum Rock (California’s oldest municipal park). Everywhere you look, you'll see stunning views of the Santa Clara Valley from these neighborhoods in the east foothills.
