    Carrier recommended
    Terrain isn't stroller-friendly; a carrier is easier
  • 🌳
    Lots of shade
    Great on sunny days · Good on cool days
  • ⏱️
    Typical visit: 1 hours
    Best seasons: Spring · Fall

Koi ponds, a moon bridge, and bamboo groves — quiet and shady, but lots of steps and gravel, so a carrier works best.

💡 Tips
Small and quick, good to combine with Downtown Saratoga; cherry blossoms in March.
