This park is as the name suggests, a hill. There is a trail that goes around the base of the hill…read moreand some man made trails that go up the hill. It isn't too steep to climb and you will get a decent workout if you go around/up it a few times. The views at the top of the hill are beautiful! There are also tennis courts, a skate park, a basketball court, a sand volleyball section, and a children's playground all around the park. There's something for everyone! Lots of people bring their dogs for walks here too.

This park holds a lot of childhood memories for me. I had a professional photoshoot here for a…read morevery special moment in my life a few years back and still admire the shots because of the intimacy this park brought to that moment. It's not a park to have a hardcore hike but one could definitely get a good 'walk' in as the trails are easy and the crowd is generally comprised of locals from the neighborhood. I have successfully completed a 5 mile "hike" multiple times here -- just had to keep walking up and down, and all around. The park also has workout stations -- although, many of them are closed right now due to COVID19 but an average person could get a good cardio workout and get in some strength based exercises here (pull-up bars, etc.). Parking is easy as this park is aligned with a huge residential area. P.S. there are no public restrooms with the exception of seasonal porta potties so you should probably go before you plan on visiting. P.S.S. this park is popular for youngsters to "be youngsters" after hours so be cognizant if you're trying to plan a romantic date.

While this is technically a City of San Jose public park, it feels much more like a neighborhood…read morepark primarily for the residents of the Crescent Village apartments. The fact that there is no dedicated parking for the park really underscores this neighborhood-oriented atmosphere. I don't personally use the tennis courts or the half-court basketball area, but I often see others making good use of them. In terms of facilities, the restrooms are consistently well-maintained, and the park as a whole feels very well-kept. Between the open space and the playground, it's a very pleasant, quiet environment--a great spot for local families.

This park is a hidden gem in East San Jose. It is tucked away sitting on 6 acres, and has a large…read moreopen grass area that allows folks to set up a few portable gazebos or volleyball nets. There is a decent sized play structure, that also has a swing set. This area is well padded, so it is very safe for kids. It also has a 5 BBQ pits located to the left/center of the park, so bring your charcoal! The park also has a cemented walk way which is situated at the very back of the park. Since it connects to the right and left sidewalks, many people either jog here or walk their dogs. It can get a little busy on weekends with parties and picnics, but nothing outside of the norm. I'm sure you probably have to get here a little early to reserve a good good spot, but camping out the night before isn't necessary. :) Side note: Parking along the front of the park tends to get a little crowded at lunch time. Conclusion: Great park, great location, and it's never too crowded!

Not going to lie, this is probably my favorite park as of right now. The surrounding is soooo…read morepeaceful. There aren't as many people as other parks (I guess depends on the weekdays). There are so many trees and squirrels! Watch out for wasps too! One thing that I didn't quite enjoy were the druggies. If you can handle the smell of it, then I guess that's fine? I don't know, maybe it's just me because I don't really like being suffocated. But other than that, it's so peaceful omggggg

The planned layout of the park was one of three that were voted on by the community and received ±70% of the vote. Let's see what they decided on: -×2 playgrounds; one for 2-5yr-olds and one for 5-12 olds -Covered picnic area -×1 half-court basketball hoops -Sensory garden (not sure what that is but sounds fun) -Outdoor Fitness equipment area -Grassy area -Concrete sidewalks⁠--such luxuries! Three-stars for now but hopefully I'll be impressed with the final design and give it a 1-star bump.

As far as the location it is beautiful and you can see the distant mountains in the background. We came to celebrate a gender reveal and noticed there were only 2 covered pergola sections that were able to be reserved for private parties.

I didn't love how some of the play structure windows were boarded up , while the others weren't small toddler friendly either . What I mean by that is there was no window cover or trim to keep kids from leaving forward and potentially falling out.
