Christmas in the park was beautiful. There were many Christmas trees by different organizations, schools and companies (we did not know that we could also place a tree there). It was over crowded. There were many street vendors selling food and toys. There were many rides for kids and one giant wheel. Getting parking is difficult here. We can park in one of the ParkSJ garages for free for 90 mins and after that pay $1 per each 15 mins. It's in walkable distance from the garages. It has one public toilet ( which has a long wait time during weekends).

Went there last weekend when getting night. It's really nice to get a walk around, sit on banks or just chilling when there are no stupid(sorry I gotta said that).guys Skating all around.. or many homeless, Im afraid of them, but park is not only for them, even is not for living there.. I stopped going there for a year and half because looks ugly and dirty when happens those things mentioned.. as I said now I saw more clean it feels peaceful and loved to took a little walk with my wife and daughter. TRY TO KEEP JUST LIKE THAT! 🤜🤛👌

You have to pay for safe skating. This place looks cool, sounds cool but when is enough going to be enough. Paying extra to skate safe should not be charged for the kids, or teens. I am extremely disappointed. Trying to make the Holidays special is at a extremely high cost. I wanted to do one nice thing for the kids and it ended up being too much just for an hour in a half. Sorry I don't recommend coming here. Almost everyone here is hanging on the edge. But for them to actually enjoy it you must pay more. First and last.
