Best Park
Cuesta Park offers something for children and adults of all ages. There is plenty of sand and multiple swing sets for the younger crowd. Visitors can walk, run or ride bikes and scooters around the park's extensive paved trails. Barbecue facilities, along with a bocce ball court, children's playground, horseshoe area, passive areas, picnic areas, tennis courts, a volleyball court, and restrooms make the park an all-around winner. Cuesta Park is also host to the Summer Sounds concert series. Cuesta also won with readers as the best place in town for a playdate.

Place for Live Music
It's not the only place in town to hear live music, but it's certainly the biggest. Once again, Shoreline Amphitheatre takes the cake for the best place for live music in Mountain View. The amphitheater has a capacity of 22,500, with 16,000 general admission seats on the lawn. Next time your favorite band is in the Bay Area, there's a pretty good chance they'll be at Shoreline.
