Christmas Hill Park is a 51-acre community park operated by the City of Gilroy in southwest Santa Clara County, California. The park provides trails for jogging, hiking and bicycling, as well as soccer and baseball/softball diamonds for group sports, and multiple picnic areas. The Christmas Hill Park Ranch Site adjoins east of the park, and provides an environmental education center, as well as additional sports facilities.
The park is open seven days a week from 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM from March - October, and 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM from November - February.
The park and adjoining ranch site have served as a base camp for CalFire managing recent wildfires in the region.
The park also hosts the annual Gilroy Garlic Festival.
