John D. Morgan is a wonderful park, great for all ages. It has a two playgrounds, one on the Budd side, one on the Rincon side, connected by a path that winds its way beneath great redwoods. It has a great big open green, used by kite fliers, soccer players, and other on-grass activities. There is even a small grove where the squirrels are friendly and wait for a nugget of food. (it's not a good idea to feed the wildlife, but these little critters don't know that!) The Budd side has a huge play structure with four slides, a climbing bridge, a netted bridge and a stand-up teeter-totter. it also has a sand pit, with a small water feature, and a small structure for toddlers just learning to climb. There are plenty of picnic benches, and a BBQ pit for weekend parties. Lots of parking in the lot, and on the street, it can though, get pretty busy on the weekends. Above the playground, there is a gently sloping hill the children love to roll down. Zero danger, lots of fun! And I did notice for the first time a young flower garden planted with gorgeous spring flowers, but you need to journey just up this little hill and down the other side, it's not far, and believe me it's something to see! The bathrooms are mostly clean. The Rincon side is shadier most of the time, with beautiful white birch trees lining the park. On this side, there is a generous water feature that runs in the summer, a rope pyramid climbing structure, a huge sand pit, teeter-totter, and a medium sized play structure that has two slides. There are some picnic benches , but you'll want to bring a blanket for the spacious shaded grassy area. There is a baseball diamond connected to the park, and it can get pretty busy when a game is on, parking gets a little tight, other than busy weekends, most of the time you can get a spot right away. The bathrooms are mostly clean. There are signs that prohibit dogs, but I see them all the time along the path. It's a nice place for the family, check it out! read more

John D Morgan is a Huge park with 2 playgrounds (one on each side of the park). There's tons of space to play soccer, run around, have BBQs/parties, ride bikes, or just chill. They used to let you have access to the baseball diamond and dugout, but I'm not sure if you can do that anymore. There's an area called "The Bowl" where a lot of people chill and lie down. It's just a grassy dip in the hill that's pretty big. You can reserve picnic tables and most of them have grills. It's a park. 'Nuff said. read more

This place was perfect for my 4 year old. The playground was huge and gave her enough to do so she didn't get bored for a couple of hours. I liked that there was a smaller playground with a water area for her to splash in during the summer. The bathrooms are close by, garbage cans, places to sit under trees, and a beverage machine. The park was pretty clean considering how packed it was on a Saturday afternoon. The only negative things were the small parking lot and the playground being so big with so many kids, it got me worried when I couldn't find my kid sometimes. I am definitely not one to just sit there and let my kid play and let her be prey to creepers, so I was running around the playground with her! read more

Closed for a few weeks try the Budd side. They are adding new mulch and making repairs to the rubber flooring and play structures. The sign say opening summer 2018 however the playground is closed as of June 5, 2018. Stay parked here and just run the kids across the field over to the butt Avenue side and play on the playground over there basketball courts are closed too. read more

This park has nice little playground area that is mostly shady. The play structure is designed for children 5 and up, but plenty of kids younger than that were enjoying it. There is a splash pad but the water wasn't on when we were there (the last week in May). Not sure when that gets activated. We arrived around 430pm on a weekday and there as plenty of parking in the lot, but by 530 it was completely full. read more

Great kids playground right off San Thomas. Perfect kids playground that is clean and fun for the kids. Great big lawns. Nice big tall climbing tower. Small kids area next to big kids area so you don't have to run between both places to watch your kids. Only bummer is the slide at the top is closed. Would be nice if they added BBQ grills and picnic tables for parties. read more

John D. Morgan Park - Climbing Tower - Playgrounds Near Me - Campbell, California

A pretty big park, shared with a baseball field and some schools. There is multiple playgrounds on this property, and occasional snack shack when there's a baseball game going on, A water feature, and a decent amount of parking. It's a large enough space where if you're going for a picnic you could definitely get some privacy, if you're taking your children you'll definitely be entertained for hours, or if you'd like to get some exercise by any means this is a great park. The parking can be complex depending which side you enter the park on. read more

This is a huge park. There are picnic benches, playgrounds, softball fields, soccer fields, and plenty of trees. This would be a great place to read a book under a tree, have a picnic, play soccer, get into a fight if you happen to be playing soccer, fly a kite, have a BBQ, throw a birthday party, deal drugs, buy drugs, bury a body, tan, play tag, walk your dog, or just lay out and do nothing. This park is easily one of the best things about Campbell. read more

We live across the street from here - the smaller, quiet side of the park with the smaller playground and love it! We take our dog for walks in the evenings, although, not through the park, because dogs are not allowed here! :( I would've given 5 stars if we could bring our dog! I do see other people bringing their dogs through the park, but I love that they are responsible enough to make sure they keep the park clean. The park has picnic tables and benches and the bigger playground is cool because there is an area for the younger kids and the older kids. I like that they are right beside each other though, so that parents don't feel nervous about watching one kid over the other. Lots of clean, healthy grass to sit, run, play in and enough dry ground for the kids to ride their bikes or scooters on as well. I often see families engage in a soccer game of some sort. The smaller side (all the way on the other side of the park) has more picnic/bbq areas and a much smaller playground for the kiddos. I think it is more for the younger kids, but has one of those cool, rope climbing tower things and also has a water feature that the kids love to run through during the summer season. Definitely a park worth coming to. P.S. Can't speak for the parking - seems like lots of yelpers are complaining about it, but I never had a problem when I didn't live close by. Maybe I just have plain good luck. :) read more

If you are looking for a park to throw a party sometime in the future, this would be one I would recommend. Here are the reason I would suggest this park to others. 1. This is a huge park, with two different parking areas, if you park on the Budd side of the park it is limited to where you can park, but if you go to the Rincon side of the park, then there is plenty of parking to be had. 2. Plenty of area for the kids and adult to play and do different activities, there are two very large and well maintained playgrounds. Also the playground on the Rincon side of the park, has a small water park playing area, so when it is hot it is a great place to bring the kids and cool off, of course the adults can run through too. If you are looking for a softball area to play, soccer area, or just flying a kite, you can do it here. Also the basketball courts are available for all and they do have tennis, so you get the idea there is plenty for you to do. 3. John D, has BBQ areas all over the park so you can bring your favorite foods and enjoy yourself. In closing this is a great park especially if you have kids, but even if you do not then come out and enjoy this park. read more

I came here for a birthday party and was here pretty much all day. The weather was nice and although the parking lot was full if you come before noon you can easily find a spot. The playground is pretty cool and the bathrooms are right next to it. They have water faucets all over the place and a few different baseball / soccer fields. There's a nice grove of trees near the middle of the park that looked great for setting up underneath and all in all this is a really nice park. There's a bunch of BBQ pits as well but be forewarned, if you want to throw party here and don't want to pay for one of the reserved sites you need to show up here at like 6:00am to claim your stake on an area NO BS. (assuming it's a SAT or SUN thing) read more

Took my little ones here a couple of times. This is one of the coolest park for kids. I never knew a water park existed on the other side!!! I can run here while husband watches the kids. However after three times of coming here, I have decided NOT to come with the kids by myself. This is WHY: Be cautious... during the mid-day you can expect grown men under shaded trees from a distance drinking beer dazing into playground with kids. Eff-ing Creepy. There is a parking lot in between the two playgrounds. Shady activities going on here... Ive noticed people/homeless just chilling in parked junky motor vans thru out the day, young kids not at school and hanging out in their cars, etc. ALL happening in the DAY TIME. This place gives me a bad bad feel. Campbell Police: CLEAN THIS PARK UP!!! read more

Great park but the area with play structures is currently closed. The Yelp page says it is only open on sundays. But it is fully gated and locked with fencing. There is no sign explaining when it will be reopened it just says it is part of an improvement project read more

The go-to park that serves Campbell residents. Very well designed and perfect for all your park needs. Whether it be picnics, barbecues, casual frisbee or soccer in the field, this park will not disappoint. Well maintained and lots of water fountains. park highlights - 2 parking lots - bridge that will take you into the campbell cuts - bbq stations - lots of benches - plenty of water fountains - multiple playgrounds - basketball/tennis courts - sand volleyball - curvy pathway - good bathrooms read more

I've been to this park many times with my daughter. We go to the preschool/water play area on the Rincon side. This park is a bit obnoxious on the weekends, with many birthday parties and too many older kids playing in the little kids area, which makes me nervous. During the week, it is a different place. Lots of mommies with toddlers and babies, most very calm. No big birthday parties. I personally prefer to take my daughter during the week and avoid the weekend chaos! As for parking, there are two lots and plenty of street parking, so I've never had a problem! Lots of big trees that give shade, several benches for parents near various parts of the play area, and of course, the ice cream man comes about every thirty minutes during the summer! read more

Great Park with tons of shade and grass!! The Twins loved to play under the Arches that spray mist and fountains of water! There is also sand pit where they can play as well. The only negative is there are no infant swings or small slide they can play on. A nice park and great to go hang out for an hour or so. Just bring a change of clothes since they get pretty wet in the fountain! Also tons of area for a party and to BBQ as well. read more

This is an excellent park year-round. They have it all: slides, climbing, sand, play house, see-saw, water feature, everything! The park is way big enough for larger events or just a picnic at the park! We come here often after the Farmer's Market for a quick play time before nap. It's awesome! The only warning for parents: during the warmer seasons the water feature starts at 11am (I think), so if you're bringing your little ones here, please be ready with a change of clothes! read more

It is very crowded and dirty park. We have been there for one hours and then left because the ground was full of trash.

I love this park. I came here for the first time about 5 years ago by the side on Budd Avenue. It was a great place to picnic and my job at that time was so close, so I was able to get out of the office but not spend money on lunch. Little did I know that this park is actually huge and goes all the way to Rincon Ave. I started coming here with my infant and a few friends and their kiddos for our play dates. The park is connected to a neighborhood in Campbell by the overpass going over San Tomas Expwy. The playground is a good size for toddlers and they have a sprinkler/water portion of the park for kids to play in. They also have lots of sand for the little ones to get messy with. There is plenty of shade and lots of places to place a blanket down for littler children, like my infant, to play and also BBQs if you wanted to cook something up while you're out here. -1 star because you can't bring dogs here, but really that's a minus star for the whole city of Campbell. read more

We were here watching a baseball tournament and were pleasantly surprised by the fantastic park that is located right outside the field. This park has a mini water area with sprinklers and shooting timed water eruptions that the kids love. Next to this is a sand area that mimics a beach. It has a water spout so the kids can make pools and rivers and sand structures galore. Bring your sunscreen and swimsuits because if your child is anything like my almost two year old...you will have a helluva time trying to get them out! read more

Awesome playground! Clean bathrooms age appropriate equipment. 4 basket swings at the playground we visited!!! Love the whole place can't wait to explore more, like the paved path. read more

This place has it all. An enormous play structure, sandboxes and water rings on top of vast grassy space and picnic tables. My 4 year old twins and I blew over 3 hours there this morning in the hot sun and it would have been longer if I had let the stay. Be aware this place is enormous. We parked on one end (Off Budd and San Tomas) to play at the main playground, but ended up driving to the other side (Campbell and San Thomas) after a picnic lunch to play in the small water structure. read more

Great park to go for a walk, have a BBQ, bring the kids, play tennis or basketball or just grab a spot for a picnic. It could get crowded on the weekends so go early to get a parking space and enjoy the day. There may be some "regulars" that hang out in one of the parking lots. No problem, the park is what you're there for. read more

Great park! Nice and open. Water play on one side and a large play park on the other. Our daughter loved it. Also lots of room to run around, ride bikes and have picnics. read more

Cute, clean and wholesome fun. Great for kids and families. No dogs allowed, so the grass is really nice. Well taken care of.

Huge park with like twelve million acres of grass, two kid play spots, and tons of open space. Good place to go when you need to get out and do some thinking or whatnot. Only off thing is for a park so huge, they don't have a park course for working out, but there is a large paved trail that sorta wraps around the park. Good place to work the energy out of the kids. I will be back for sure read more

Great park. The play structure huge is with 3 huge slides (somehow a little bit hard for 3 years-old). There is a big sand box with water which is so great for the little ones. There also are a lot for benches for tired mommies. read more

Love taking the kids here. Some days its great for family BBQs and also birthday parties! There are two sides to the park and both are great. The kids get to meet and play with many other children. Might head on over after the rain stops. read more

John D. Morgan Park - Favorite spot!! Hope they never take down this set!! Fix yeah, but not take down. - Playgrounds Near Me - Campbell, California

I'm always in search for beautiful parks and scenery, but this was one of the disappointing parks that I've been to. The pictures looked a lot better than it did in reality, but my friend and I managed to find a decent bridge to take our photoshoot at. This park is a great place to take your kids, as it has plenty of playgrounds to choose from. However, scenery-wise, there is nothing gorgeous about this park. It was way too crowded with running kids and other talkative adults and was not the quiet park to relax at like what I'm used to. read more

This is a beautiful park nestled by San Tomas Expressway in Campbell. They have multiple playgrounds in addition to a huge baseball fields. They also have a little area where kids can get wet. I plan on taking my son here again as he had a blast at this park! read more

Beautiful big park! I took my cousins and sister over here to play one afternoon and the playground is nice and big. They all enjoyed it. There's another playground for younger kids behind the big playground too. Decent amount of space for kids to run around and play. Also there is a huge grass area - perfect for a picnic on a summer day! read more

Sometimes it feels like there's a whole lot of duck & geese poop all over this place. So it can make having fun a little difficult here. Aside from that most of the time this park offers good times for everyone. There's always soccer games and parties going on here. The playground is pretty awesome for kids of all ages. There are basketball courts, softball fields, walking trails, and nice big, shady trees which makes it a great setting for active ones. It's also nice that 7-11 and Safeway is right up the street in case you forget any goodies. read more

Green grass, clean restrooms, clean park... the city of campbell does a really good job taking care of this park, nice shaded areas...

The Good: The park is great. There are always so many things to do here. There are open areas where families can set up as they wish. I have seen people set up soccer fields, Volleyball areas and there have been families to bring out bounce houses. The park has a lot of area to set up for picnics, BBQ's and parties. There is plenty of shade so that your guests do not get overly tanned. Trees are also in abundance so if you want a day to people watch come out and park yourself under a redwood. The great part about the park is the play areas. There are 2 parts to the park. One play area has kid play areas with sand and the kid friendly toys but on top of that it has a water play area for kids to get cooled down on a hot day. The place is frequented by drive by ice cream trucks so if you are in the mood for dessert have no fear as I am sure they will stop by. The other area has a well built playground (from redwoods I believe) and my kid has a ball here. You can come on your bikes as there are places to park your bike. The Not So Good: I cannot think of any at the moment. I would say parking at one of the areas but that is actually what led me to find the other side of the park. Bottom Line: For BBQ's, hanging out, kid play time and a great place to host a party I would say come here. It is really a great place. read more

J. D. Morgan Park has a lot to offer, and is one of our go-to parks. Unlike some smaller parks, this one is huge and has something for every age group - picnic/bbq, baseball/softball diamonds, basketball courts, soccer fields, tennis courts and more. The grassy area is even large enough to fly kites on breezy days. There are two street entrances to the park - Rincon Ave. or Budd Ave. If you are going with the under-4 age group, I would recommend that you choose the side that best suits your need, and enter on that side because it's quite a walk from one end to the other. Both sides have play structures for kids, but the Rincon side has a water feature, while the Budd side has a larger play structure that's great for older elementary schoolers. Unfortunately, it's not always a great place to take the kids. The bathrooms can get pretty dirty. It also gets crowded so parking can be a challenge. read more

This park is very nice, and very big. There are spaces available for all levels of activity and ages. For me, I am most concerned about the play areas. There is a large playground (at least 3+ years old, if not older), and a smaller play area for the less than 3 year old's. The park is always busy, so be prepared to follow your kids through a large crowd. If you have a child who is not big enough for the larger apparatus, then it is challenging keeping them in the smaller area. Therefore, I removed one star for the numerous times I have had to rescue my kid for the big slide tower. You will be chasing the smaller children away from the larger play area all day long. read more

Awesome playground! Love the sea with water feature. There were quite a few out of control preteens there which made it less enjoyable.

Good place to go for summer hot days with kids. It has two areas with water features. The north one has sprinklers while the south one has just a fountain with sand, but it's nice and shaded. It's also next to restrooms an play structure so it's very convenient. read more

I just moved from Seattle and find it a joke to cut out all the trees and call it a park. Especially in CA where you need a nice shade from sun. read more
