It is a small residential park in a quiet neighborhood in Alameda. It is normally a quiet place to go and think, but I was just passing through this day. There are a few benches, and an unused gazebo in the north section of the park. It is a popular place to gather, especially with the neighborhood high school kids, among other locals. Something to consider for those considering visiting this park.

Cute, small, and quiet park with play structure for the kiddos. Positioned right in the middle of a neighborhood. Houses on each side of you.

Great Park to meet up with friends and have a socially distanced bite to eat. I wish the kiosk was used by local bands and other musicians... At least on the weekends.

Clean and tree filled but not really much to write home about because it is basically a park that runs between 2 streets in a residential neighborhood so it is about 200 wide by 2 or 3 blocks long and Criss-crossed with paved pathways. No bathrooms, no athletic fields, no basketball courts, no dog park. It is a good place to walk your dog on leash, that is about it. There are picnic tables but because the park is so narrow, It feels like youre eating right next to the traffic.

Ive been taking my little yorkies to this park since 2008. They are now deaf and one completely blind at 15 & 13 years old but they act like puppies when they walk in the familiar grass

This is an adorable park with parking on both sides of it. Its a great place to walk the dog or pop up some shade and hang out on a gorgeous day.

Nice place for a break while riding or walking. 1/2 block from Park Street Business District. Nice Art Shows and such can be found here at Jackson Park. Its happens maybe once or twice a Year

Smoked Out in the Park after Dark in The Park in Jackson Park! Mary on the Breeze makes my life ease....

Largely neglected, with not much to offer — just lawn and pathways, no playground for children, no area for dogs — so it attracts a lot of pot smokers and littering loiterers. The pathway concrete is old, uneven, and crumbling. The gazebo is off limits for use. It needs some TLC to become a neighborhood space that brings the community together.

Cool park, lots to see and explore. Family friendly environment.

The trees and grass are nice. The bathrooms were locked on a summer afternoon and its not a great place for kids with the relatively busy streets on all sides and not much to do.

A quiet little dog park in the middle of the neighborhood. A good place to take a book on a sunny day.

Review №28

A wonderful place to stop and enjoy the world along with restrooms gazebo and is wheelchair accessible centered in the middle of the town is a perfect place for picnic which is why they have wonderful little picnic benches I love it so much the only thing I would change is that doesnt have a place for kids to play such as upper structure swings or other but if you dont have children that are super energetic I would suggest you go there or even if you do have energetic children it will automatically make them calm just the most wonderful place in the world

Jackson Park is a green strip in the center of Park Avenue, South of Encinal Avenue, which offers a quiet place to relax on tree shaded grass. The neighborhood is upscale, but the park is just around the corner from the shops of parallel Park Street.There is a restroom facility, picnic tables and benches.The place is kept clean and well maintained.

Jackson Park 1 block from Park St. Residential neighborhood, usually find a group of young people hanging out and smoking. Signage clearly stating its a non-smoking area. Otherwise quite and locals walking their dogs on leash.

Great place to walk n observe nature. Weather permitting the locals do Aerobics etc. Lotsa friendly people. Great place to walk your animal companion or just sit and be at one with nature. Great for cruising the big boys and girls. Lotsa kids run n play here.

You dont see very many gazebos these days, but Jackson Park has one!! A living time tunnel back to the 1890s, just like much of Alameda
