Ok... let’s all take a minute to appreciate what this park has become. Settled beautifully in contrast to Hayes Mansion, also beautiful. 2nd to the park. I said what I said!You won’t crush many BMX records on the course... unless you get “creative”. The trails are more for early/ beginners to the sport.Aside from that... typical park activities. Except better than what you’re use to (if you haven’t been here) as of yet. If you have, see you there. It’s our chosen place to study

Great park, shady paths and interesting plants to observe. Playground is great as well when available. Parking is not clear being unpaved on one side and entering through Hayes Mansion parking lot on the other side.

Just visited this park with 3 kids (4 year old and 1 year old). A ton of play structures for all age groups. Park itself is super shaded though the play structures are in direct sunlight mid day. Tennis courts, sand volleyball courts and a lot of BBQ picnic tables. Parking was easyI will come back again. The park can get dusty in summer and muddy when it rains. The slides and swings were as clean as the next park. No issues like the other reviewer.

Its beautiful park with a cool historic past

Always a nice spot to relax and let my girls stretch their legs!

Best thing this side of Hayes Mansion since the amusement park left... I said what I said.“Im caught up in a world, a labyrinth, a maze...Where yes men could easily be no”~Gorilla Zoe

Excellent walking park, nice playground. Pretty well kept. Next to Hayes mansion. Watch the parking lot, dont leave valuables in your vehicle.

Excellent park still with memories of Frontier Village places around.It’s almost like I was there again.

A large part with various sport costs- tennis, basketball , volleyball etc. Lots of green spaces, playgrounds . A great place to spend the day.

Open again and easy for kids to play and social distance

Old site of Frontier Village (do you remember that place?)...turned into a park. Nostalgic for me of course!! Lol

Remember Frontier Village, The old West theme park that used to be in San Jose? This is the remnants of it. You can still look all those various areas and ride locations that you may have visited as a kid. Now its a fantastic park that is very wooded with lots of great paved trails and a fantastic Western themed playground. If youre a tennis buff you will also enjoy the four courts that are here. there is a large sand pit that is suitable for great volleyball games as well as many places to picnic and barbecue. Plenty of parking and bicycle and pet friendly. Afterwards walk over to the historical Hayes Mansion for some great appetizers and drinks.

It is a nice place to take a walk. There are also dirt areas to do jumps and other stunts on bikes. There is a large playground and some picnic tables. There is also a bathroom. There is also a parking lot. This Park is located right next to Hayes Mansion.

Love the playground, trail, picnic area. Great local park! Sometimes you get some pretty sketchy people at the park, but Im always extra cautious.

Shady, large. Lots of tables.

Great place to ride a bike, loads of shadyDog friendly

My 4 year old daughter enjoyed this area almost as much as I did as a kid when it was Frontier Village.We had a really good hour here today. Climbing, swinging, running, chasing and being chased.Thank you to the 2 older girls who took the time to help teach my daughter the finer points of going up and down both rock structures safely.We both enjoyed seeing a turkey vulture ( I think) hunting game in the open field as she swung.What a wonderful place to take a break from the commute back home. Thank you San Jose for keeping this treasure around.

Trees smalls so nice

Not a bad little neighborhood park. The trick, at least the Saturday I went, is you have to go in the entrance to Hayes Mansion to get to the parks parking lot. That isnt obvious from the street. The other entrances were blocked. The sand volleyball court is decent for not being at a beach. Bring your own lines though.

Beautiful area. Nice to walk with doggies.

I took my granddaughter out to lunch and afterwards she wanted to go to a playground. This was the closest one so we traveled there. Its the old frontier village grounds and I grew up in the area and have some history there so it was pretty nostalgic for me. Its nice, I loved the big trees but otherwise pretty barren and was so closed down with heavy fencing it almost felt like a prison. They had a great playground but it was so hot that my granddaughter couldnt do much because most of the equipment was made out of metal and it was hot from the sun. Overall I dont know why they did it this way as there is only a small area that is grass. And by the way with all that playground equipment there were no monkey bars which is what she wanted.

Wonderful experience introducing my dog to a new friend!

My favorite neighborhood park

Great place for a midday bbq or party. Nice open space and plenty of shade/sun.

Beautiful, fenced-in park next to the Hayes Mansion. Have brunch there, then go for a stroll in the park or take your kids to the play structures. Great family outing.

Love the climbing rock wall, the swings and the trail around the park. Always super clean and the guy that locks the place up is super helpful and friendly.

So pretty. Has a nice playground for kids, a bathroom, 3 tennis courts, half a basketball court, and a large area to walk and a large grass area. I love this place, and theres tons of shade to stay under. Totally recommend it.

Nice playgrounds clean

Still a very cute and family friendly park. Word of warning to parties in the park-not enough parking available when there are events at the mansion.

I love this park especially bcs its such good people who comes around there its really a fun place to go I take my cat all the time with me , I dont own a dog I love them too

Very nice and relaxed

Basically a small quiet and shady park. Walking the dogs along the old Frontier Village ath with some markers still visible

No cell reception. The restroom is used by the homeless quite a bit. But the play ground is nice.

Nice park! Nice enough restrooms... Which Id just like to take a second to applaud San Jose, CA for keeping the restrooms in parks working and functional!! Bcuz unlike Santa Cruz, where they have closed most of the park restrooms, or AT LEAST taken the soap and many times, sinks - out!! Altogether!! To detour the homeless from using them to bathe... Which caused a terrible Hepatitis A outbreak (which is caused from not washing hands and then preparing/eating food - so, in short, eating feces!!) - people can still wash there hands after using the restroom!! What a concept!! I thought that was what you were ALWAYS suppose to do!? I guess Santa Cruz, CA doesnt think thats very important...In any case, thank you for being decent human beings and not removing the sinks or soap from this park, or another one I visited recently!! Its much appreciated!!

Nice park to visit on the weekend when there are lots of people around. There is a small footpath/bikepath, playgrounds, and tennis court.

Fun for the kids

Nice new play areas for kids under 12 yrs and a toddler park too .bbqs and nice wide cement trails with public restrooms.

Its a beautiful neighborhood park great place for children to play basketball play in the playground and they even have barbecue pits

Multiple playgrounds (for different ages), multiple swing sets, tennis courts, a small climbing rock, some benches and tables, a path to walk around amidst trees. Nice place

Great outdoors fun for all within the city.

Very nice park. Weather you want time by yourself or with the little ones it is a very nice park

Safe place

We can still walk around drink water & use the restroom

Great place to relax, hang out, and play Pokemon Go

Unfortunately there is a lot of Homeless in the area.Its sad they have to use the restrooms to take a birdbath each day!!!That being said the restrooms ONLY have 2 stalls & not maintained very well or often

I was cool because of there toy fam so coo

Calm cool clean park.Very good to go for morning and evening walks,huge tree s gives cool breeze all over a day.Toilets located near kids playground.Big picnic area and huge kids playground next to it.Its a very good place for family gathering or picnic.Water cooler also there to supply water to those joggers

Well shaded, although not the playground itself unfortunately. One playground was quite toddler friendly, lots of tables and benches. Major Con is the amount of garbage and litter that gets buried in the tan bark after parties.

This is a very peaceful place.

Great for kids and walking.

Great park to take the Dog. Clean and lots of shade.

Lovely park near Hayes mansion. Tons of squirrels, trees and greenery nice and white.

Lots of trees so was shaded in alot of areas

Restrooms are all locked : (

I recently went to this park with my family for the first time.Its a little cute park, with a couple of swings, and a couple slides with a few tables.The area was clean and picked up.Nice green grass.BUT I only gave it 3 stars because, the childrens play equipment was so DIRTY I didnt want my granddaughter touching it. The slides were so gross. It really needs a good cleaning!!!

Very large parks with tall trees, a kids playground, restrooms, and places to set up a bbq and picnic.

Good park, good area for dogs run around, playground common basketball courts, picnic tables barbecues, can be a bit warm when its hot outside plenty of shade but also plenty of Sun. Lots of pokey stops a few gyms plenty of pokemon go players when theres a raid! Have fun and enjoy the park Open

Nice open space and playground for kids. You have to drive thru Hayes mansion gate to get to parking lot.

Does park has a lot of trees and it has a nice playground and atmosphere. Not too crowded and dog friendly. Beautiful view of the Hayes Mansion

This has a nice paved trails, less than a mile around with lots of shade to comfortably walk, bike, or anything during anytime of the day. It has a great place for kids to play, with swings and climbing things. There are some picnic tables with BBQ pits that are popular on the weekends. The park includes bathrooms. They have tennis courts and a basketball court. They also have a sandy area for volleyball or badminton. In addition one of my favorite features are the little mountain bike trails to go up and down.This place used to be an an amusement park called Frontier Village and they have a reunion picnic every year still! :-)

Nice regional Park, lots of picnic areas and Pokemon

Its a clean and well-maintained small neighborhood park with a play area for climbing as well as some benches nearby for sitting while your kids run around.There are public restrooms and water fountains and youll generally find ample street parking around the perimeter of the park.

Fun

This is a decent city park next to the Hayes Mansion, that used to be part of the property and later a small amusement park called Frontier Village. There is a playground for kids with swings and other features, some fake rocks for them to practice climbing, tennis and basketball courts. There isnt much green grass here, so dont expect to lay or play in a grassy field. There is a lot of dead grass and dirt, except for an area near the Hayes Mansion where there is a nicely kept lawn. The park is good for walking or jogging. Kids also skateboard here.

I went here on a week day right before Easter with 15+ moms and their babies for a bbq and egg hunt. We had an awesome day with no issues!

Small park with a playground, restroom, tennis courts, and basketball court. It is a garden type park so there are a lot of trees and bushes and not much in the way of green grass lawns. You will see a lot families at the playground and walking the paths and weekends will have parties at the picnic tables. The minuses of the park are the bathrooms are old and dingy and there are homeless in the area. Overall I really like the park.

We have been barbecuing here for at least 2 or 3 months now. Very good place to do so..

A kind of little Vancouvers Stanley park of San Jose.

This place is so cool for kids ...the play area is really nice w/lots different stuff for them to do.It has a few tennis courts ,no lights in most of park or it would be 5 stars. When the kids are driving ya crazy take them here and let them have some fun. The old frontier village amusment park...alot of memories.

Very nice place to play sand volley ball, picnic, tennis (3 courts) and lot of kids items like rock climbing.Also you can bike around or go for a long walk.Must visit if you stay nearby this place.

My grandkids love it

Former theme park, now nice place for a stroll.

This park occupies the grounds of the former Frontier Village amusement park, which closed in 1980. Prior to that, it was the gardens of the Hayes Mansion (adjacent, now open to the public).This park has meandering paved trails, a nice playground, tennis courts and BBQ pits. Parking is on the East side of the park, although there is limited unpaved parking on the West where there is a gate. There is a lower level to the parking.Park has restrooms, tennis courts, grass area, amphitheater. Variety of native and non-native trees.

Great ambiance and relaxing layout with plenty of foliage to enjoy leisurely. Appealing to all ages, with reservable areas.

Its really nice and peaceful and they have really beautiful trees

Great little park. Good for kids and adult walks.

Calming and beautiful flowers. Love walking here to clear my mind.

Nice shady, cool love it

Sad I never got to see Frontier Village in its heyday. Beautiful small park nonetheless.

Fun park for toddlers

Wonderful park, but parking can be difficult as the parking​ lot is part of a gated off area that doesnt seem to actually be a part of the park itself.

Great family park!

I love to walk

Nice place

Now this is a nice park, Ive had barbecues here, family, friends , very peaceful, Friendly people around , CLEAN . Ther is dirt jumps in the back of park.if your a bike rider , Perfect for road bikes also. ️

Had lots of fun with the grandkids there....swings, jungle gym, slide, etc

Best nearby park for running, bike, walk, play tennis!! Closes one half hour after sunset variety of short and longer hills, courts, and all around fun place for outdoors.

This is a great park, great to walk out run in. You can walk your dog in here as well. Never had an issue here.

Nice neighborhood park, great place for a shaded run, BBQ, volleyball and tennis. Clean restrooms, and plenty of park space for all to enjoy.

Nice place for your kids to walk and run around .. Great picnic spot

Beautifully hidden in between residential neighborhood and Hayes Mansion.

Really beautiful!
