Downtown areas along University Avenue and California Avenue offer local restaurants, shops, and cultural destinations including the restored 1925 Stanford Theatre and the Palo Alto Art Center.

Palo Alto residents have access to more than 30 parks, including the 1,940-acre Baylands Nature Preserve, known for its walking trails and bird watching opportunities. The city features two Caltrain stations connecting to San Francisco and San Jose, plus extensive bicycle paths throughout the community.
