Recreation and Leisure
Sunnyvale is home to recreational facilities including a tennis center, community center, senior center, two golf courses, and more than 20 city parks. Avid swimming fans and speed junkies will love the high-speed slides like the Barracuda Blaster found at the 350,000-gallon water park known as Raging Waters. It’s the Bay Area’s largest water park. If hiking or skiing are more your speed, you’ll have several options as the City is less than an hour from the Pacific Ocean, and close to California’s famous redwood forests and beautiful Lake Tahoe in the Sierra Nevada.
Are you a wine connoisseur? Then, you will be happy to know that the Santa Clara Valley is the oldest continuing producing wine region in California? There are several area wineries that provide tours and samples including the J. Lohr Winery, Mirassou Vineyards, Sarah's Vineyard, Solis Winery, Sycamore Creek Vineyards, Thomas Kruse Winery and Troquato Vineyards.
Sports fans are definitely not neglected. They can enjoy professional games such as those of the San Jose Giants, San Jose Sabercats and San Jose Sharks.
