Very well kept. Street parking along the boundary wall only. The rose garden is on one side and open field on the other. They have rest room here also. Place can be busy, people tend to put down picnic spread all over the rose garden side. The fountain on the middle was running and clean. Lot of photographers during good light times.

Great initiative, putting a real life Monopoly in the park.However, it is not as big as I was expecting and it is not interactive at all, purely decorative.You cans see it had its best time as the board lost lots of its paint.This has great potential but could really use a new layer of paint!

This is a really cool idea. The open air and the sun beating down on you as you enjoy the day. Dont try and move the dice as they are huge and possibly permanent lol. There are little statues dotting the park area. Got to see lots of motorcycles traveling around at least 100 at one point. Beautiful artworks nearby

This is a cool place to have fun with kids and take pictures, especially on a sunny day. I really liked the idea of a big monopoly, is just that it really needs a fresh painting in order to look better/amazing.

If you love Monopoly and in the Downtown San Jose area, you definitely need to visit this park. Great place to take your Instagram photos.It is located in front of the Children’s Discovery Museum of San Jose.Not giving it 5 stars because the Monopoly board needed a deep clean and lots of touch up paint. It was dirty and the surface paint was peeling and cracked in many areas.

Cute but just a photo opportunity. We thought it was pretty unique.

What a nice surprise to have a huge Monopoly game in the park that is located in front of Childrens Discovery Museum of San Jose.I believe that not only kids will going to love it, but even adult will love it, especially to take picture together with the board game. It happended to me, too. If I had more time, I definitely will play it with some folks. So, I just took some photos here Agree with some fellow Local Guides that said this Monopoly needs to be cleaned and painted more.

Date of Visit: Saturday, Dec 14th, 2019Because we came to San Jose - we knew we had to look for the Monopoly in the Park attraction.We had seen it many times on other peoples Instagrams and thought it might be a good roadside attraction worth visiting.It is incredibly hard to get to if you are just driving through San Jose. There is a major roadway with no parking to stop at and just grab a quick photo.We had to pull into the drop off section at the childrens museum nearby and run over to the park while someone stayed in the car.It is a recreation of a giant Monopoly board in the centre of a childrens playground.However, I assumed there would be tokens, etc but there were not. There are other figures in the park but they have nothing to do with the monopoly board.As a roadside attraction, it is a bit of a bust. It was too difficult to access, too far away from the nearest parking spot, and not really all that fun for photos.My recommendation is - DO NOT go looking specifically for this roadside attraction. If you are nearby - check it out. As much as Roguetrippers love oversized things, and quirky attractions, This one was a bit of a letdown.

Cool park with gigantic Monopoly map on the ground. Therere also some cute but random animal statues lying around. Wish there were more trees in this park.

The giant Monopoly board is in Discovery Meadow, which is right near the Children Museum and inside the Guadalupe River Park and Gardens. There is no street parking nearby, but there is a parking garage that is about 5 minutes walk. The board itself is around 960 square feet, and it is designed to scale.My Review Scale:️:️ (Bad)️️: (So so)️️️: (It is worth trying out)️️️️: (Good)️️️️️: (Wonderful)

A larger than life version of many peoples favourite board game. Nice to see when visiting San Jose. In a nice park within the city.

The place is simply amazing. Even if it has been created for children, it is incredibly funny for the adults too. A piece of modern art in a park, more than a game. The statues around the monopoly are beautiful and, if you look around, you will find an interesting pair of huge shoes. BTW, I will not tell you where the shoes are, this is part of the fun. Green, along the river, with a road for the runners, the park is beautiful and quiet, an oasis of peace in the middle of the town

Smaller than I thought it’d be but still very fun to see it.

Parking is a pain. Its $7 anywhere around the block. Animal feecies everywhere .

What a cool thing to do with a park... putting a monopoly board in it :-) If I lived in the area, Id be forced to have pieces to play on it. It was quite fun to walk around the board. I also liked the tables which also had checkers/chess on them around the board game. This could be such a fun place to hang out.

Good open space but nothing apart for a giant monopoly board.

Mini park with not so giant size monopoly map, it was fun to see it and for some fun photos. however, theres nothing much other than that. I think it will be more fun if theres some houses model for us to move around the map. The park is kinda empty other than the monopoly map and few animal statues. It would be great if theres more trees and seating bench around.

Nice place, little playground, some animal sculptures and the main attraction-big board to play Monopoly, colorful and fun. Its easy to find this place, by the road, near Marriott and Hilton hotels. Accesibility is good (no stairs). Although Im not sure if any restroom is available there.

Cool and unique photo spot, but it needs a new coat of paint

The idea is cool but when I actually saw it up close, I was a disappointed. So much smaller than I pictured it. It is a bit worn out.

Been trying to book this board for weeks! No one responds but, they quickly took my deposit! No word on which of the three dates were available. No way to retrieve said deposit if i cant get the date. No phone number to find an actual human to speak to. Do not try to rent this game. Its ran by a gmail that does not respond.

They do have such a park! Lets play!

Was done in 5 mins but happy I’ve been there .... but don’t expect anything else then a picture

Nice to see it here. Not must to see.

This life size game brought back many memories.

A full size version of Monopoly game in the park. Its super enjoyable place in the park. A good spot to have photographs and spend some good time with your family and childrens. The park is situated near to children Discovery museum in San jose.There is a sprawling green park to have good camping and morning walks.

Cool spot in a great park

Far from a must see and a bit out of the way if youre not driving. Maybe if you devise some way to actually PLAY this game with your friends as life-size game pieces, then it could be really fun! If youre in the neighborhood though, drop by for some cool pics.

Just fine

Not much to do the Monopoly thing was kinda cool but it looked like a sketchy area

I never knew there was a place like this, I grow up playing this game and its amazing.

I founded three little girls were playing Monopoly by using some app in their smartphones

Its a tourist trap ... If you have to get your photo-op in, then BYO 3m (10) step ladder. (Bad perspective standing on the ground!) Either way, you can say youve been there, and you wont have to publicly admit that it was a waste of time. There are no accompanying dice/cards/bank/etc, so you cant play, and its hot and dusty and theres no shade.

Cool to see if you want to play. You need to book it online

Our family had a great time in this park

This is pretty cool and certainly unique. We all enjoyed playing around a bit. A novel and fun idea.

Really neat idea, kind of run down now though.

Nice place for the kids to run around... Not much there, though, other than the big Monopoly board.

This was a weekend trip for us and no one told us it was under renovation til april 24th. The board and grassy area was all fenced in. The sprinklers were wasting water by watering the asphalt path hence the low rating. I will change it once I revisit.

Beautiful look out of the city. But I specifically came here for the swing since Ive never Been here before and as of today 4/6/19 NO SWING =[

I was expecting more game pieces and something more interactive. They only have the permanent game board and the 2 dices. The tables/benches have squares on them so you can play chess or checkers. The park is located behind the Childrens Discovery Museum, next to the Guadalupe River and a parking structure. The location is convenient, just not much to do.

Really a great place to visit and wonderful artwork throughout the park. :-)

I you go through San Jose and are crazy about monopoly and played with your friends as a kid you need to go to this park!

It was pretty amazing! I was one of the first people to play on the Monopoly board because my friend Dian was one of the staff people in charge. I had a good time. I think young children will enjoy this the most. You can book it through San Jose Parks Rec and Neighborhood Services.

Big park with a big drug problem been fenced up since college football championship

Love going here to take a walk with my significant other

Giant Monopoly board that is facilitated by Childrens Discovery Museum.

This is a park? I thought this was just an empty lot with trash in it

Great firework display for 2018 4th of July. We will definitely be going back next year.

I pictured it a little bigger, but it was a fun novelty. My kids were the ones excited about it, and they seemed satisfied.

Funny place

Nice Park for walking

I am originally from the state of Rhode Island. Which is where the Monopoly game is made. So it is a delight to see something like that.

The event was awesome for the entire family, however the lines for the rides were long also the food lines.

Small park with giant Monopoly pieces. No you cant play but its nice to look at. Parking is scarce and when I say scarce Im talking 2 spots at the park itself. Theres a parking structure a short walk away.

My Son love this place

You might as well just play monopoly at home :)

Ok to visit but stay away at night or from the river area as there are a lot of homeless and drug users in that area. I would not allow my child in that area even during the day without close supervision

Owns Guinness Record for largest playable board. Can be reserved for events. A must see

A very small park where one can do imaginary play & photo action.

Its a nice place to to chill out downtown.

Discovery museum is a great place for kids the new play area is awsome

The google review page showed two children in middle of board tossing dice. They had dice but bolted to ground. My kids were dissapointed. Other than that it was a really cool thing to experience. I always wanted to walk irl on a monopoly board! Guinesss world records biggest permanent board. Hard to find parking.. In that specific area of san jose. Such a hasstle.

Very cool place to be at never seen another park like this.

Interesting place. We came here while visiting CDM.

Bring your own game pieces!

Next to SJ Center for the Performing Arts. Props are not there unless you rent the park. The only other fixture there other than the board is the two dices.

My kids love this park I am happy it is here

Interesting place but probably needs some renovations

Made an important memory here

It is smaller than expected, but pretty awesome!

Nice pace

In the process of being demolished

Yee!!

Having fun with family

Funny place !Enjoy a Monopoly game

Lets all play

Cool place

Great for kids

Wide-open spaces

Cool

Theres a beautiful Fox

You can book this through the parks department.

Pretty cool idea. A lot smaller than I imagined it would be. But Im sure its fun nonetheless. We couldnt get out as the park was closed but could totally get the idea. Id like to come once the park is open and the lockdown is over.
