Alviso Marina County Park, San Jose,CA.

An amazing place for kids to learn from nature while hiking. This place is a perfect starter for getting kids into nature. The main attraction is the pink salt pond which gets its color from microorganisms that thrive in the different salinity levels in the ponds. But there’s more to this pond than just its pink color. You can walk around the banks of this pond that’s filled with small salt cubes. My kids loved pulling out salt cubes from the pond and finding special looking formations. They kicked and chased flying bubbles. You can hike around the pond for hours or use the trail above the pond too. 🥾 Hiking, biking & bird-watching are popular activities at this bayside park with paths & boardwalks. 🚗 Parking is free but may not get a spot easily since it’s quite popular spot for IGers 😊 Park hours: 8am till sunset 🌅 🐕 Dogs are not allowed 🚻 Public restrooms are available 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 family friendly hikes
