Flickinger Park — Attraction in San Jose

Been going to this park for some time now and the quality really deteriorated

Pros Huge park. At least 2 baseball fields, 2 playgrounds, plenty of picnic tables in the back basketball courts etc. Plenty of parking all around the park and they have a parking lot too Ice cream truck comes around every 30 mins Most of the time it's empty

Cons The field is not maintained and dangerous. Bottle caps and spikey turf. Be careful or you or your dog can get hurt. The grass field is a bit uneven everywhere. Homeless people literally live here. They park their cars and either sit in it or loiter around the bathroom. Non-homeless people go through the trash. See it almost every time I go here. Wish they would have doggy poop bags. There are many dog poops left around and you need to be careful Depending on the direction of the wind, you could sometime get the smell of the landfill I've seen people doing drugs in their car...

If you are looking for quiet and serene this park is not it. This is a very lively park. There are a lot of walkers, dog walkers, and joggers. The park has 2 playgrounds, one geared for younger children one geared for elementary school children. There's Picnic areas that are always filled with birthday parties on the weekends. There's always lots of people playing at the basketball courts and there are horse shoe pits. This park is home to a local Little League and they utilize the 2 baseball and 1 softball field, which are open to the public when they are not in use & The snack shack is open during baseball games in the on season. In addition, The ice cream truck always makes it's way around the park at some point during the day at least once, usually more than once on the weekends in the late spring, summer and early...

Great location, easy access from Berryessa Ave. It takes only 5 minutes drive from the freeway 680. It's quite big, great fun for the whole family. There are 2 basketball courts, baseball/football/soccer field. There are bathrooms available but I gotta remind you folks, for some apparently reason the faucet doesn't shoot water. I know it's a bit weird since you go there cause nature calls, and then, how on Earth you supposed to wash your hands? Quick solution to that, one of the tiny trails, the right side from the men's bathroom, there's a running water fountain.... it's a 20 steps...
