After eating a sandwich from Thien Huong Bakery.

This park is located behind a Vietnamese plaza. The playground is tiny with a lot of weird playground sets. The bench were okay, but I'd recommend planting more trees for more shades around here. I think little kids would love to play on the playground though, while older kids would be at the skatepark. It might be a small park,but it's pretty cool.

Newly built playground right next to a shopping plaza. Located on the corner of Aborn & Towers. I only stayed on the playground side of the park, but I did see a little skate park. It's a nice small park. Pros: -Unique reptile-shaped play structures to climb & crawl under -Recommended for ages 2-5 (but my 14-month-old enjoyed roaming around the area) -Play turf (instead of sand or tan bark/wood chips) -Has 4 swings (2 baby swings & 2 regular kid swings) - 1 slide -Picnic tables -The park is nicely gated so kids don't run into the street -Street parking & nearby shopping parking lot -Close to restaurants & drink places Cons: -No shade or grassy areas near the playground -I don't recall seeing a bathroom but I could be wrong. -The turf & structures can get hot on hot days. -Older kids might not enjoy it as much if they want to run around since there aren't large areas to run. Overall, great for younger kids.

Has taichi started here already?

Come while it's new! Barely even any bird poop on their picnic tables. There's a nice little gate so your babies don't run to the street but you have to chase them into the park cuz they can still run the long way across the park to get to the street.

Although a little oddly placed in my opinion, this park is great (especially for kids)! It has a little bit of everything, including a mini skate park, slides, swings, reptile figures to play on, half court for basketball, sitting/picnic area, etc. The positive aspect of the location of the park though is that after a long and tiring day of running around, there's plenty of food and drink places nearby to check out. Just a little heads up to all those who come here to shoot some hoops- the ground is sloped. If you make a shot, the ball will bounce towards the businesses as opposed to back at you. This might be a little annoying to some since you'll almost always have to chase after the ball. Also, the swings are mainly meant for kids since it is very close to the ground.

Milk tea n parks goes well together

Great parks and close to shopping center and boboa place. It's new and has a fence so safe for little kids. Has one basketball court and a small skate board area which I think all parks should have. What I like most is I can grab some snacks at bobo, cool tea, or tapioca and then walk to the parks and enjoy while the kids play. It also have some tables and benches. Only thing is that not enough shades.

My kids always have a Blast here

Nice park...great area...basketball court...skate park...soft ground for the kids...only needs more shade...but overall good for the neighborhood!

Challenging, but not stomach-in-throat (on a momma's part) climbs challenge toddlers.

“Yes, there is a skate park and half basketball court which are nice for older kids and adults, but the play area is what I am making the most use of now.”

Amazing park, so many things to interact with and play with. It's pretty well maintained! There's 2…read morezip lines, one with a bucket seat for younger kids or those who don't feel safe sitting on the regular one. Lots of cute chubby squirrels, be careful they're very curious and will look into your bags if you leave them unattended.

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.

Such a beautiful place to visit. We parked on the street…read morenear the fountain entrance. The first thing that struck me was the beautiful fountain and how quiet it is here, in the background someone was playing and accordion " the atmosphere was so serene" There are park benches under shady trees also there are a bunch of benches around the fountain, behind the rose garden there is a big field of grass that you can sit on and have a picnic. The roses are so beautiful and many smell to the delight of your senses. Such a great place to stroll around, read, I have a cup of coffee, enjoy the wonderful smell sight of the roses and or have a picnic.

This was our first visit of San Jose. We have an amazing International Rose Garden in Sacramento…read more It's part of the capital park. Along with the roses it's filled with memorials. Our family has a couple there as memories of our love ones. Compared to the Municipal Rose Garden- San Jose, our rose garden is tiny. Soon as i read a review on yelp left by one for the many yelpers I follow, I knew I had to see it for myself The yelp review only has the cross streets, which makes it difficult to plug it into your gps. I googled the rose garden and only got the cross streets. I then plugged Municipal Rose Garden, San Jose, CA to my google maps it pulled it right up with the actual address: 1649 Naglee Ave, San Jose, CA 95126. This made me so much more comfortable being able to find it without having to drive around. Google took us right there to the front gate. There are actually 3 main gates to get to the garden and it backs against a green belt so you can park anywhere along there and ease your way in. Parking is all street parking in a suburban neighborhood. Most of the homes have roses in their front gardens. Lots of them have roses lining their driveways. There are 2 public restrooms that were actually open on a Sunday in September. We were there Labor Day Weekend 2026. The men's and women's restrooms are not next to each other. They are by opposite gates. The bathrooms are your typical park bathrooms. Not the cleanest, made of cement and metal toilets. They have doors on the stalls that lock and they had plenty of TP. They have this odd metal gadget that dispensed soap if you push on the lever. I was happily surprised that the bathroom had soap as most park bathrooms lack soap. I was happy they had a cleanish bathroom. This park is the perfect place to take romantic pictures. If you are a professional photographer you need a permit and I belive it costs $100 for that permit. There is a sign in the park with a phone number for professional photographers to call, so there is no surprise for them. Talking pictures, there are many arches that are perfect for standing under and having a friend taking your picture. It looks so much better if you have someone take your picture as then you can see the whole arch. I should have asked someone to take our picture instead of just taking the selfie. We did get some great pictures. Some were not so good as the sun was in our eyes and we were squinting really bad. We took our time exploring the roses and really enjoyed ourselves. One thing I didn't notice was the iconic smell didn't vape though the rose garden. That is where the Sacramento Rose Garden excels in. They have many aromatic roses that wafts through the garden. The nice thing about this garden being so large is you can take pictures without having people in your shots as there is so much room to move around in. In addition to roses, there are also redwoods cluster in the garden. It almost felt like you are in a redwood forest if you stand in the middle of the grove. The Municipal Rose Garden was worth the stop. I'm so glad we made the time to stop by and allowed time to just wander and explore the many varieties of roses. One thing they didn't have were signs so you know what each breed of roses you are looking at, the Sacramento Rose Garden has signs so that is another difference. While we were there a park ranger and a volunteer were busy pruning the rose bushes.

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.
