The bathrooms still had toilet paper towards the end of the day. I was impressed with that. Kids playing all day at the playground. A lot of people having picnics throughout the park. Music blasting from each group. You have to be cool with not being the only group around. We found parking in the residential area. Not far at all. Not too far from Eastridge mall. I grew up in Eastside San Jose, and felt comfortable and safe. We went on a very hot day, thank goodness for the shaded trees. Overall this park is a hit with the locals.

Capitol Park (CP) is a fairly large (±11.6 Acres) neighborhood park that's located in the…read moresocioeconomically deprived Eastside Storybook Tract. Despite the cheery street names (i.e., Peter Pan, Bambi, Cotton Tail) that border this park, CP is not all it could be, because of it's surroundings. However, CP does have some nice features, which I've compiled--just for you! -Street Parking only -Standard Tot Lot & Playground with a non-functional (due to the drought) water feature, that could use an upgrade. -Reservable & Non-reservable Picnic Tables w/ BBQ Pits -Access to the Lower Silver Creek Trail that runs through the eastside of CP. -×1 Full & ×1 Half Basketball courts--which is a bit puzzling, because they could easily fit 2, or even 3, courts in the allotted space, if they wanted to. -Restrooms, with Eric W approved ceramic toilets. -Unlighted softball/baseball field -Terribly maintained lawn, that would be good for sports if you don't like your ankles. -Home of the Goss Community Center (GCC), that's a police sub-station and home to TABS (Truancy Abatement and Burglary Suppression). CP is also rife with gang activity (ergo the GCC); also, shootings (http://www.mercurynews.com/breaking-news/ci_26044286/san-jose-one-person-critically-injured-capitol-park) and deaths (http://www.mercurynews.com/crime-courts/ci_24589819/san-jose-young-man-shot-dead-capitol-park) are fairly common place. Personally, I would never stop by here if it weren't for the restroom, and that's the only reason I'm giving it 2-stars as opposed to the 1-star it probably deserves. It's a shame, because CP has tremendous potential and could be a solid 3-star park; unfortunately, it breaks Realtor Rule #1: location, location, location...

I would not suggest bringing your dog here. The bathrooms were also locked and the few tables they have seem to have been converted into a make-shift homeless shelter so I was unable to enjoy any of the park or eat or sit. I tried letting my pupper just stretch her legs on leash in the grass but after walking around for about two minutes a guy with a pitbull started looking in my car windows so I decided it was time to go. This park is right next to a school so I was really surprised at it's condition and I would not recommend stopping here.

It takes about 10 minutes to walk the perimeter, so 3 rounds and you get your daily 30 minutes of exercise. The playground is small, but clean and it looks well taken care of. I wish they had the workout equipment! That would be great! They have several basketball courts and ample parking. I saw a couple of water fountains, but haven't used them, so don't know about water quality. There are a couple of benches scattered about and lots of grass for picnics! No restrooms though. All in all, a great neighborhood park!

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.

This is considered the nice area of San Jose. Great park to walk your dog and push the stroller. Whole Foods is down the street. I mean if you enjoy the walk go for it ! The people here that I have encountered are very friendly. I see couples walking around pushing their baby on the stroller. Walking their dogs. There is 1 basketball court so that's cool. A nice play area for kids. I like to walk around the grass area and My dog has lots of fun. Not a park for parties or bbq that's for sure . No restrooms around. I have seen some homeless just standing staring at people. Possibly high on some drug so be cautious of course!!! I have a dog so she is ready to attack and protect if need be . However if I didn't have a dog I wouldn't feel super safe just me walking with my baby in the stroller and my oldest. So far so good . My experience has been nice and I will continue to take my walks here. I hope to make friends with other dog owners and parents with small kids. Just try it out Once you might like it. I did.
