    This park is amazing!! There is an awesome tot area with a play structure (that is shaded!! Mostly) under a canopy. The entire playground has the rubbery ground which is infinitely better (safer in my opinion-- I remember getting splinters on wood chip playgrounds growing up and that was NOT fun). There's a gate to enter the park and another gate to enter the tot area which is great/extra safety. There's a big parking lot next to the park with shaded spots. There are public restrooms. There's a shaded picnic table area. All the good things!

    They have a small lawn where you can play ball or frisbee. There is also a small picnic area with a covered area. There is a cool playground for kids. If you an adult you are pretty much SOL.

    Great sensory slide!

    This park is one of the best sensory and inclusive parks in San Jose! I have a 3 year old son with autism and sensory input is key for him, this park even has slides for great sensory. The entire park is gated which is great for kids who just love to freely run around. They have a smaller children section that's great for baby's and kids ages 1-3. The bigger playground is great for toddlers as well and is always clean. They have several inclusive rides and wheelchair accessible. The downside is that it can get pretty crowded, best times to go is either early morning or lunch hour for less crowds.

    Benches, grass, and paved walk spaces.

    This review is for the toddler park. I yelped "toddler playgrounds" and Lincoln Glen was the closest park near us. It's nestled in a quiet neighborhood, and attached to a community center. We went on a Saturday around 12pm. The toddler park is gated with two entrances. It's cute and free from garbage. There is plenty of shading for parents and sitters to stand in while the kids plays. Near the seesaw there bushes that birds like to fly to and sing. My toddler finds this to be her prime time entertainment as she LOVES birds but doesn't get to see them as closely in our regular park. This park doesn't seem to be very popular as there was only two other toddlers the entire time we were there. There is a sand box that we did not use as our toddler was more interested in the wooden riders. She couldn't get enough of them! We enjoyed the toddler slides and swing set. She also enjoyed the grass and kept walking on it and touching it. Do keep in mind there is also tan bark around the toddler structure. Some of the wooden riders show wear and may unexpectedly cause splinters. Our regular park is meant for all ages, but is over populated due to all the apartment buildings around it. Lincoln Glen is a breath of fresh air, and a slight call back to my child hood. I feel we can come here and not worry about her getting stepped on or pushed by kids and preteens playing tag on the play structures. The big kid section is on the other end of the park. We did not go to that side. There is a bathroom on-site.

    I love this park. Clean and just the right size for the kids to play in and be able to see them while playing. The parking lots is really big so you don't have to worry about finding parking. Nice grass area to play on or have a picnic. I also had a birthday party here for my son. Nice shade area. This place for perfect for my 5 yr old.

    Rotary PlayGarden is a wonderful park for families, especially if you have kids who need space to…read morerun, climb, explore, and use their imagination. The playground feels creative and thoughtfully designed, with different areas for different ages and energy levels. I really liked that it does not feel like a basic playground. There are fun structures, open space, places to sit, and a friendly atmosphere where kids can stay busy for a long time. It is also nice that the park feels welcoming and easy to enjoy for children with different abilities. Another thing I appreciate is that on certain days they organize different activities for children, such as small events, games, quests, and fun little challenges. It makes the park feel more alive and gives families an extra reason to come back, not just for the playground but also for the experience. The kids get excited because there is always something new to discover, and parents can relax knowing the place is active, safe, and family oriented. Overall, it is a great spot in San Jose for a simple walk, outdoor play, and a fun day with children.

    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.

    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!

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

    Growing up in San Jose, I feel like I took advantage of being so close to the Rose Garden. It was a…read morespot to walk to, around, etc. I was in town for Mother's Day and took a walk to Rose Garden after the festivities, around sunset. It was a great time. So many roses in bloom in just about every color. It was packed with people having picnics, taking pictures, walking around but still easy enough to find your own quiet space. Such a pocket of beauty in the neighborhood.

    America's Best Rose Garden Run by Volunteers!!!…read more This is a beautiful 5.5-acre rose garden officially recognized as "America's Best Rose Garden." It features over 3,500 shrubs and around 200 varieties, with about 75% being hybrid teas. The garden has an interesting history: it was once a prune orchard purchased by the San Jose City Council in 1927, thanks to advocacy from the Santa Clara County Rose Society. Today, it also serves as an official All-America Rose Selections (AARS) display garden, where new award-winning rose varieties are tested before public release. The layout is classic and park-like, with a two-tiered fountain and mature, decades-old trees that add to the atmosphere. Some standout roses that I enjoy, include: * Rosa 'Handel' (climbing rose): Soft pink, slightly ruffled blooms that look great climbing fences or arches. Light fragrance, subtle but nice up close. * 'Camille Pissarro': Super eye-catching striped petals in pink, red, yellow, and cream. Looks like a painting. Mild scent. * "Make Me Blush" (hybrid tea): Clean, soft blush-pink rose with a neat classic shape. Light, gentle fragrance. * "Perfect Moment" (hybrid tea): Very polished, classic rose form with rich color and that "traditional rose" look. Noticeable floral scent. * "Double Delight": Creamy white with red edges that deepen in the sun. Each bloom looks a bit different. Strong, sweet spicy fragrance: one of the most fragrant ones there. A pleasant surprise is that the garden is entirely volunteer-run. Volunteers actively work to preserve heritage roses, even rescuing and propagating rare varieties from old cemeteries, abandoned homesteads, and rural roadsides. Practical info: * Parking: free street parking with no time limit * Hours: daily, 8am to 30 minutes after sunset * Restrooms: available (clean, basic, and well-stocked) * Dogs: not allowed * Yoga: permitted if non-commercial * Alcohol: not permitted * Photography: casual photography and picnics are free, but professional shoots require a $100 permit Overall, it's a peaceful, well-maintained garden with both botanical depth and historical character, especially enjoyable for rose enthusiasts or anyone looking for a quiet walk among carefully preserved varieties.

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.
