There is more than enough evidence that both Gandalf (as Olorin of the Maiar) and Tom Bombadil (who had been around since before the Elves passed West) were 'alive' in the Second Age.
There is no evidence that Legolas was, and there was more than enough opportunity for JRRT to mention him along with his father and grandfather if he was alive in the Second Age, or to give some other hints or implications that he was around at the time.
