    A good-sized neighborhood park with 2 small basketball courts, 2 tennis courts, a BBQ area, and a big grassy area. They are also next to a baseball field and there is a paved area that you can use for a walk or run that goes around the field and the park. It was not busy and it was an enjoyable evening.

    Flooded toilet area and toilet paper. Health hazard.

    July 17,2021 First time here, no one empties garbage can. It was so full garbage overflowed. The women's bathroom was awful, sink overflowing and floors Disgusting. Horrible.

    good for little kids to play, nice trees to climb but my brother found some very innapropriate writing on one of the slides. ive also seen some innapropriate things myself around the park.

    Tot Lot

    This is a nice City park that also just happens to be less than a 1/4-mile from my new digs. It's got all the amenities one can hope for in a City park: 1) Playground & Tot Lot 2) Big grassy fields to stretch the little one's legs on 3) BBQ & picnic areas 4) Adjacent to a baseball field in case you have 17 friends with you and feel like an improv softball game 5) Restrooms are a little "Meh", but most City park restrooms are these days. 6) Basketball courts: 1 Full Court and 3 Half-Court 7) Tennis courts (x2) 8)Also there seems to be a nice steady flow of Ice Cream Vendors on hot, sunny days. So, bonus points for that! All-in-all a really nice park to come and kill a few hours and wear out the little ones at the end of the day, or meet up on the weekends with some friends and have a nice picnic.

    This is a nice park to let the kids run rampid and burn off energy. There's a tot area as well as a big kid area. This park has plenty of activities to do including tennis courts, basketball courts, soccer areas, and a baseball area.

    This is the picture of the open field. There isn't any shade. Brutal in summer!

    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.

    Visited Rotary Play Garden for the first time over MLK holiday, and it was packed! It makes me…read morewonder if it is usually this busy or if it's because of the holiday weekend. The play garden has everything kiddos love -- slides, one seesaw, one round spinner, one rope climbing thing (that can also spin), swings (bucket and standard), small water play area, and a Zipline (one for little kids 3+ and one for older kids). They also have an area with tables, where someone was having a party (no idea if reservations are needed though). Expect to wait in line for a turn of the park is crowded. The play garden is fenced off from the rest of the park. They have a restroom on site. They have a small parking lot that is nearby the entrance of the play garden. I noticed some people parked on a smaller side street and walked over. I'm not sure what other parking options there are otherwise. We would return if we're in the area again and if it's less busy. It's a solid park and play area for those who live nearby.

    Rotary PlayGarden - If you get to the top of the bridge and see the windmill, you can take a seat and listen to SJC radio traffic! So cool!

    We visited during our trip to San Diego & oh my goodness, it was absolutely amazing…read more This is such a peaceful place to sit and enjoy the beauty of nature. Located inside Balboa Park, you can tour the museums in the area, but don't forget to stop and take a moment to smell the flowers at the Japanese Friendship Garden... There were so many beautiful birds, butterflies, koi, and plants I've never seen before. The grounds were very clean and well manicured. Pricing to get in was about $60 for a family of 4 (including student pricing for our children) which may be a bit steep if you have young children with thin patience.. however, if you are able to come in and find your Zen for a couple hours, this is the spot to do so. They offer free crafts for visitors- when we were there they were doing an origami workshop, which seemed very fun. However, our kids weren't up For it- so we did not participate. Would definitely visit again in the future!

    I randomly heard about this on TikTok and decided to randomly drop by…read more I also was not aware it was under construction for a while so good timing? The parking fee is....fair which means you only need to come here once or twice a year. To get to the Japanese garden you need to walk a bit to find the big gate? In terms of size it is medium length. Still being built yet good enough to walk around. Lots of lush green views and refined scenery verdant for miles. You could even think of it as a mini nature get away from the busy city life It's worth the trip and you could visit the other parks if you have time for it
