Stanford University and local area pools during this same time so you should book

Things to do around Palo Alto:

● Get bikes and cruise around Stanford University...or walk around, it is a beautiful campus. Walk down Palm Drive and check out the old Quad and the new Quad

● Walk and shop around the Stanford Mall

● Walk up and down University Avenue

● Walk around California Avenue (PA’s “2nd” downtown)

● Golfing at Palo Alto Muni (just renovated)

● Walk “The Dish” behind Stanford. This is a 3.5 mile paved loop that provides great views of Silicon Valley; it is a super popular local walk. It takes about an hour and fifteen minutes to walk. There are three gated entrances. Most visitors use the Stanford Ave. gate, located where Stanford Ave. intersects with Junipero Serra Blvd.

● Go to Great America in Santa Clara

● If you have the time and inclination, check out the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk (a little less than hour away)

 

 

 

Places to eat

A reminder that all teams get a free lunch from our Snack Shack on Saturday.

There are many great dining options in the surrounding area along the spectrum of casual to formal. If you have not been to the area before, make time to walk down University Avenue to get a feel for Palo Alto’s main drag. Here are a few local favorites:
