Brigadoon Park — Attraction in San Jose

I haven't been here since I was 5 and wanted to revisit my childhood today. The stone slide at this park is the memory that stands out. It's been about 30 years but the park is the way I remember it. Clean, quiet and a fun playground. The park is located in a neighborhood and doesn't have any obvious dangerous from what I could tell of blight. There is a gated high school next door so know that. There is a bridge you can walk over and some high school kids hanging out under it but this is still an active park parents still bring their kids too as a dad was watching his son. If you are going to come here and want to use the slide, bring your own cardboard. When I was a kid, this park was hot, so lots of cardboard for sliding was available. Kids don't really play outside too much anymore, so as a tip,bring your own cardboard:) so much fun to walk...

I wouldn’t hesitate to take my...

What a nice place to bring your kids to play on the slides. There are a lot of kids here, unlike other parts of San Jose, where couples must be sterile or something. The kids are nice and well behaved here. The parents let them do their thing and everyone watches out for everyone else. No helicopter parents here. The park has benches and BBQs. There is a nice playground, but the real attraction are the slides which are awesome. Make sure your kid wears shoes and uses the cardboard to slide on or they will rip their clothes up. The neighborhood is working class, ethnically mixed and quite safe. This is a great family park to visit and tire your kid out before bedtime. Highly...
