A buddy and I visited the skate spot about one year ago, before it was finished. It turned into a nice, small area to skate with stairs, rails, and a dual quarter, along with a curved ledge. Beyond the skate spot, there is a small basketball court, and a kids playground. It always looks tidy and everyone has always been respectful when I've been there.

The one thing about the playground area is they don't have tan bark or sand, its like a rubber mat with two different colors. You can even play basketball, but its a half court. The skate park is not open yet I wonder why? In the middle of the park they have a circle cement thing with with flowers and a tree. On one side of the park they have grass you can run around or lay in it. Also have tables. This park is good for all ages and dogs. Cons: No restrooms

So great to have such a large space and let my rescue pup be free to roam around. Clean and close.read more

Raleigh Linear Green (RLG) is an approximate 5-acre park that's hidden away in deep south San José…read more Due to the (still under construction) surrounding housing development, RLG was built as a turnkey project to fulfill the requirements of the Parkland Dedication Ordinance (PDO), which states that a developer must provide 3-acres of parkland for every 1,000 anticipated residents. RLG is built on a PG&E easement, and is surrounded by huge transmission towers with active power lines looming overhead. This is also how it gets the "linear" moniker, which means that it's longer than it is wide. A good portion of this park (±50%) is dedicated to fenced off areas that are essentially gussied up drainage ditches for all the local outfalls. RLG lacks more than it has, but -as has become customary with my park reviews- here is a list: -x2 Full Basketball Courts -Pathetic fitness area -Decent little dog park located at the south end -Street parking on the westerly side of Raleigh Rd. -NO Playground -NO Picnic Tables or BBQ Pits -NO Restrooms -NO grassy fields for sports The only good thing about RLG is it's Dog Park, but why would you go here when there's a much nicer one (Miyuki) less than a mile away? This park has no redeeming qualities about it, and was obviously built to satisfy PDO requirements. Otherwise, it would never exist, and as far as I'm concerned--it doesn't.

And was perfect for her to burn off some steam. There is a volleyball court (that didn't have a net but nonetheless awesome! Most parks don't have that.) Also had 2 table tennis courts. A beautiful green baseball field that looks to be in renovation or something. And the basketball courts were just awesome. We will definitely be coming back here again.

The loop has bits of shade and there is plenty of picnic tables for events. The playground has some interesting climbing structures that immediately appealed to my 9 year old son, and the rest of the playground is your standard older set of playground. They do have some interesting spots for younger kids to climb and sit on. The bathroom situation could be much improved for the number of folks we see there but I don't know if I just missed a facility. It's more wild than a local city park but makes for some fabulous walking.

We wanted to play as a family and keep on switching off. This was the park to do so. Park seems very relaxing and there were benches, big trees, playground that I noticed while walking on the path to the courts. Courts were pretty good, they were well taken care of, lines and courts look re-done recently. The nets had a little dip in the middle and looked a little uneven. Would definitely come back to play with the family or to play against other people.

The park is well maintained, has tables, trash cans, exercise equipment, and a basketball court. My son had a wonderful time at this park since there was plenty of space for him to run around.

This is a great park, definitely worth a drive…read more Tons of open grass for any kinds of sports or dog activities and it's in good condition. It's also very flat. There are two playgrounds, one for younger kids and one for older kids. Both are modern/newer designs with lots of different things to play on. The older kids one is not fenced in, but it's also got a good border of grass around it. There are lots of tall trees around the playgrounds too that provide shade. The park occupies a pretty big rectangle of land with parking on all 4 sides, so unless there was a festival or something I doubt you'd have trouble parking. There are also picnic tables, a basketball court, and some exercise equipment stations.

Silver Creek park served as a convenient pit stop for my family during our road trip. Although it…read morediffered from my initial expectations of a kids' play park (I think that might have been across the street but I had hangry kids in the backseat and didn't want to keep driving around), the large empty field offered various adult exercise areas and my kids ended up having fun just running around the empty field. The clean restroom and water bottle refilling station were a welcomed amenity. Shaded tables and benches provided a comfortable spot for us to enjoy our lunch. While not the playground I had anticipated, the abundance of squirrels added an unexpected element of entertainment. In the end, Silver Creek park fulfilled its purpose for a brief break, even if it deviated from my initial idea. A solid four-star stop for its amenities and unexpected charm.

Since indoor dining is not allowed at the Kickin' Crab, we hauled our goodies to this park, which wasn't far. It's a nice park with a tennis court, basketball court, and people were playing volleyball. I felt safe. There were also trash cans nearby and the restroom was decent for a public restroom meaning it had soap and plenty of paper towels, which was needed for washing the Kickin' Crab sauce off my hands. The parking lot size is decent, although I can imagine it could get full if it's a busy day at the park. If that should happen, there's always the neighborhood across the street where you can probably park your car somewhere.

I visited mid day so there weren't many people utilizing the beautiful park, playground, walking trail or circling the pond.

It is accessible from Grandpark Circle, Greenpark Way, and Sposito Circle. Parkview Park II features: - playground w/ soft pad around edges - benches - large grassy turf - concrete paths - only street parking Open- sunrise to an hour after sunset Negs: - no restrooms - no picnic/ bbq areas - no sports field - dog park - no play area for very young kids I last visited this park right after it rained. It looked like the grass was freshly mowed, and the turf looked irregular or uneven. Most people stayed on the pathways. The park does have some lighting, but it's considered closed an hour after sunset.
