    If you have dogs, kids, this park is perfect for you. They have a huge spaces for you to play with your dogs, and a nice playground for kids to climb.

    Okay, it pretty much was date afternoon/night and my S/O takes me to an awesome cement slide thingamabobber. The slides look pretty steep and I hesitated at first but after the first slide, I was hooked! Hooked I tell you, hooked! There are plenty of cardboard boxes for everyone to use to slide faster. So down the slide we go to run back up the hill to do it again. Overall, the park is pleasantly clean. There is a playground set for the kiddos to run and play their hearts out. Gosh, I miss being a child without responsibilities. I thank my S/O and this park for reliving my childhood!

    We took a walk around Brigadoon Park. This is a very nice park. There is also the concrete slides there. i

    Broken leg

    My son broke his leg on the slide this is a dangerous park to take little kids i recommend taking them to a different park

    Zip line team work!

    It's spacious, my son and I feel somewhat safe here, being that the playground is easy to keep an eye on from a picnic blanket. grass is always green and fun to run around. The swings, minus the few parents who doesn't watch their children and lets them dash in front of swingers, are safe-ish, no rusty nails or dried up seat for swings. (And to those parents who allows their children to run right in front of swingers instead of going around, don't yell when I try to stop my son's swing from hitting your child! I tried, you try stop a full swinging child on it :/) The ice cream man! Haha okay, Shawn's ice cream truck, I love that he is always there and you can call him 30 minutes advance to come over if you want something from his truck. I'm such a piggy. I am fortunate that my son doesn't use the concrete slide. Although, I do fear when he is ready to go on it on his own.

    The best day to come is when it's rainy and your nooby friends who have never seen a concrete slide before go down for the first time, slip off their piece of cardboard, and do a little tumble at the end. Lots of fun and lots of laughs here- free fun is always the best! Go down to the swings at the other end of the park afterwards and relive more childhood memories.

    Rock slide! They're so tiny up there from down here.

    SLIDES. Have friends out of town visiting? Bored and broke and can't afford to do anything except go to a park? Wanna almost smash your face and eat the ground? If you answered yes to any of the above questions, then this is for you! Welcome to Brigadoon park, home of these infamous rock slides in San Jose. All you have to do is bring a piece of cardboard big enough to sit on and a whole lot of balls to slide down. I've seen little kids do this like nbd, but personally I've never been able to myself. Ive seen my friends hit the ground and I would like to keep my face thank you. But the other 80% of the time, it looks super fun when my friends do it LOLOL so I would still recommend if I haven't scared you off. It's definitely still a cool place for everyone to try at least once, (I'll get around to it eventually).

    Love this place!!! =]

    What kind of park has a zipline?!? THIS ONE. Two seating options, one with a harness for toddlers,…read morethe other for older kids (I even saw adults using this). The park also offers a fun and inclusive space for children, with climbing structures, sturdy cement slides, swings for both toddlers and older youth, a see-saw, merry-go-round, trampoline, and spongy material making up the ground's surface. The occasional squirrel, lizard, and butterfly too. As an adult simply looking for a place to relax while waiting for my car at an auto shop nearby, I was pleasantly surprised to find this park accommodating. Dirt and concrete trails weaving through the garden, lovely vegetation in spring, and a good amount of picnic tables and benches scattered throughout. Also, a shady area with fake grass and seats made out of smoothed-out logs and tree trunks, as well as adirondack chairs where I was able to hang out and nap while I was there. It wasn't too crowded or crazy on a Friday morning, though it got busier as it neared noon time. In addition, the place offers a parking lot and clean restrooms for convenience.

The play garden has everything kiddos love -- slides, one seesaw, one round spinner, one rope climbing thing (that can also spin), swings (bucket and standard), small water play area, and a Zipline (one for little kids 3+ and one for older kids). They also have an area with tables, where someone was having a party (no idea if reservations are needed though). Expect to wait in line for a turn of the park is crowded. The play garden is fenced off from the rest of the park. They have a restroom on site. They have a small parking lot that is nearby the entrance of the play garden. I noticed some people parked on a smaller side street and walked over. I'm not sure what other parking options there are otherwise. We would return if we're in the area again and if it's less busy. It's a solid park and play area for those who live nearby.

I loved walking through the serene pathways, bridges, and lush greenery while enjoying the sight of the koi ponds and watching the fish swim around. It's such a lovely spot to slow down, relax, take photos, or simply enjoy nature for a while. Some areas have been recently restored, and the garden has a quiet charm that makes it worth visiting. You can truly feel the peaceful atmosphere inspired by traditional Japanese gardens. Perfect for a peaceful stroll, reflection time, or a simple afternoon with family and friends. It's free to enter the park, just pay for parking. Definitely one of San Jose's hidden gems.

Most paths were paved, while a few are dirt (maybe those aren't real paths)? Some benches sprinkled through out if a person wants to just sit and relax. The Japanese Friendship Garden connects to a bigger park with more trees and paved walkways, but most not shaded. Parking is $6 regardless how long you stay and there's a finicky kiosk that'll print out a ticket. Overall, I'd come again to see if there are any changes, but don't think I'll go out of my way to do so. #26/2025

    Such a beautiful park!!…read more I've had Delano Manongs Park bookmarked for quite some time and as time passed, I honestly forgot about this place. With an upcoming play date planned between myself and a gf, I was happy that this particular park was picked for our meet up. First things first, this park is MASSIVE! Delano Manongs Park is broken into 10 parts- YES, I SAID 10!! This includes a small and large dog park, multiple gardens, a fitness station, and a number of play structures to keep all your little munchkins happily occupied. The park is very well kept, the restrooms are very doable, and with its large size, there isn't that congested feeling you get with other locations. On top of the many perks, there is a large field to kick or throw around a few balls. The only flaw- and might I add that it is a big one- is the lack of actual shade. Your relief from the sun's powerful rays is limited to the gazebo where the benches are or using the large flower structures as a shield. 5/5 stars all in all. This is lots of fun for kids of all ages.
