- I would like to share with you, south bay area skaters, a skating site
- which i enjoy.
-
- This is Cunnigham park in San Jose. The park has a lake, and a trail
- around it. The Perimeter trail (a loop) is 1.9 mile long but if you use
- the trail just neat the water, it a little bit shorter. The park has
- several parking lots which are virtually empty in this time of the year
- (including weekends) which are good for figure skating. The one I like
- the most is near the Marina (just below the Raging Water entrance)
- which has new pavement and it slope make it ideal for slalom (you might
- find the chalk marks I made this morning ;-> ). You can feed the ducks
- (millions of them), fish (or at least try to), or have Cock from the
- vending machine near the entrance to Raging Water. The parking costs
- one $ but there is no body to pay for or a box to leave the money so I
- consider it free (probably it is different at summer).
-
- To get there, take 101 Tully exit east (one exit south to the point were
- 101 and 280 met) and go on Tully all the way until you will see the
- entrance on the left side (just after the airport).
-
- BTW, I am compiling a list of skating sits in the south bay area, if you
- know of an interesting place, please let me know. I will post a follow
- up.
