Since we moved to San Jose in 2007 every Sunday we head to Los Gatos Town Plaza for the Farmers market, and during the warm summer months for the boys to play in the water fountain.Los Gatos is a charming little town about 10 minutes from San Jose. The Los Gatos Town Plaza on a Sunday is an infant, toddler and dog mecca.
The plaza has plenty of lawn for kicking around a soccer ball, playing catch or throwing a Frisbee. If you opt to bring toys to the plaza know that other kids will play with them… of course what fun is it to play ball alone.
The water fountain starts at 11 am. Usually without a warning … the water shoots up really high, and is a little scary for the more wary small children, like Caleb.
We get coffee at the Los Gatos Roasting Company and crepes from the Farmers market. Then we, along with hundreds of other families, enjoy our Sunday breakfast.
For the recently potty trained, there is a bathroom for customers at the Los Gatos Roasting Company on Main Street and one at La Boulangerie.
The farmers market runs year round from 8 am to 12 pm (although I’ve seen it stay open later than it says on its website). There is often music near the fountain, and a variety of vendors selling fruits, vegetables, ethnic food, plants and meats. There is plenty of parking in Los Gatos as well (hidden between University and Santa Cruz Avenue).
Los Gatos Town Plaza is our favorite place to spend a Sunday morning.
