A simple and nice park but the nearby creek is inhabited by a large homeless camp. Most of the time the people there are harmless but once and a while some can be aggressive. Stay away from the creek and youll be fine.

This is our favorite park. It is a great place for dogs if they are well-behaved.

Lovely park. A good place for grounding and decompressing. Just lots of grass, some oak trees, tables with benches, and plenty chances to people watch, soccer watch, dog people watch, family friendly, and if you time it right, lots of inquisitive dragonflies.

Because the grass is growing a lot and there are many wholes. Im been living in san Jose for 35 years and used to be much better.

It would be nice if was kept clean , more garbage cans around so ppl understand to use them. And the trail needs major cleaning.

The walk around the park itself is really beautiful. The park usually has a lot of people there who are walking their dogs and honestly thats a huge plus point for me

Many homeless people live here. The ones Ive met are nice to you if you are nice to them. Not somewhere Id bring kids.

Amazing local park for the Naglee Park neighborhood and surrounding homes. Dogs in the morning. Families during the day. Lots of local clubs come for soccer or volleyball and picnic tables for parties outside in the shade.

This park is nice and quiet! We just came here for a picnic today, but Ive been here on multiple other occasions. Great for family or friend gatherings. Many people also bring their dogs. Lots of tree for shade around the outside and open area to run. Theres also a lot of picnic benches and trash cans for your convenience. Also a good hammock spot at the back wooded part.

If you dont mind the occasional vagrant and sometimes random people smoking pot in their cars (nothing like crazy St James park downtown). This park is rather nice, with lots of grass and pretty trees. No facilities. Popular place for dogs

Cool park to hang out. There is a huge grass field which is empty most of the time, probably because there are a ton of pot holes and people can twist their ankles walking around in that grass. Also if you are a dog owner it has a doggy water fountain. In the very corner of the park there is a beautiful flower garden. I believe it is maintained by the community. They do a great job.

Review №35

Honest story..I was walking with a friend and we were close to the bridge. Before we got upon the bridge a huge black dog came barreling towards us & the bridge only to slam on the brakes once it arrived at the very beginning of the bridge where it then proceeded to do multiple (8-10) circles then dropped the largest pc of feces I have ever witnessed in my near 40 yrs. After finishing it drug it rear end across the remaining part of the bridge as though it were a long pc. of toilet tissue that had been laid out, just for his bottom. It was absolutely disgusting, as it left a 4 inch wide, about 15 ft. line of poo that nobody ever came to clean up. The dog simply ran back the way he came and my friend and I hugged the left side of the bridge to keep from the poo but the smell was simply inescapable so we took another route around the bridge so not to relive the terrible experience again. Nice place but beware the bridge.

Bark in the park was a good event.

Really nice park with a huge lawn. Dogs are supposed to be on leash but many I saw when I visited were roaming free, which was ok since all of them as far as I know were well trained and well behaved. Plenty of picnic tables. Its in the middle of a residential neighborhood so the surroundings is very nice. It was flooded during last winters storm, but it has since recovered nicely.

A nice place to visit, but there are no restrooms and youll literally be the only one here. Probably one of the least visited parks in San Jose. But, on the plus side, there are nice paths among the trees and if you walk across the bridge you can walk a good distance before you have to turn back.

Nice and peaceful. I will go there to throw the ball around or just chill. Nice park. Not really for kids being that there is no play ground. You would have to cross the small bridge to go to the playground.

Home of Bark In the Park, this hidden gem is great for a dog walk or strolling in a quiet area. Its lined by nice homes on a quiet street.There are plenty of trash cans and tables.Be sure to get the heck out before dark as the park does get a little sketchy at night.

William Street Park is cute but a little bit sad due to the recent flood from Coyote Creek. Improvements are slowly being done but its going to be a while before its fixed. I will give it a better rating later once the park is cleaned up and fixed.

William Street Park is a Brookwood neighborhood park. It has been refurbished and groomed to be a good place for families and friends to hangout, and enjoy a park that is within walking distance from from where we live.Ive lived in the neighborhood for over fifty years.The park has a lot of space for soccer,frisbee,and pick up football games.Its a nice sceneric park close to home that the neighborhood greatly appreciates.Enjoy
