Saturday June 19th, 2010 BBQ in the South Bay Geeknic in Vasona Lake County Park California

The great folks at gidgetkitchen have done it again!

A nice well maintained park that is full of things to do! Pedal boating and canoeing/kayaking on the lake, Nice large fields for throwing frisbee (bring one) and nice trees to give us some shade. It also has a playground for the kids. The shallow areas of the creek are great place to cool off, along side various water birds.

There’s a $6 parking fee (CARPOOL!) at Vasona, the money goes into the upkeep of this nice place. Google map here

Follow the Penguin signs

Bonus Music

Santa Clara County Parks put on free, family-friendly concerts every Saturday in June and July here. For June 19th 5-7pm we can listen to David Correa and Cascada Latin Guitar World Fusion – a blend of Gypsy Flamenco, Spanish Guitar, and Latin American folk melodies.
