20 Hidden Gems in San Jose That Haven't Been Overrun by Tourists

Kelly park or Japanese Friendship park is one of San Jose city favorite among its residents and overall people who get the privilege to visit. Unfortunately during my visit I was sad to see that the ponds that for years were filled with water and Koi fish were empty. Almost like an abandoned feeling. According to some of the signs, the city of San Jose is working hard to restore this area after a tragic flood years ago that contaminated the waters of the Koi fish ponds. This park is kept very clean, all their landscaping seems healthy and well taken care of. There is still a small pond with some Koi fish, but no food available for the public to feed the fish. This park does charge a fee of 6 dollars per parking ticket. The city of San Jose is accepting donations to help restore this beautiful family park, amazing memories for years in the hearts of many and so devastating to see what it looks like now.

A fantastic free Disc Golf park! I love coming here and having a relaxed game of Disc Golf on the free 21 hole course. It’s a really nice break away from the hustle and bustle of San Jose and great to let some steam off and launch some Discs! The course is volunteer run, and is kept in great condition, and the holes vary from time to time. There are multiple nets/hole for different skill levels, and also a long and short tee point. If you get 2 or 3 discs you will be good to go - a long range, mid range and a putter. Definitely worth a trip! There is a lot of ground squirrels around the site, which are really fun to watch - but just be careful you don’t turn your ankle stepping into a hole!

Kelley Park is a large park with tons of picnic areas, a zoo, a disc golf course, a museum and more. Ita very close to downtown San Jose so very convenient. Parking is usually pretty good at any of their various lots, although its $6. The park itself is pretty clean, but there are a few homeless wandering around, however they do not bother you from what I've seen. Water fountains for the most part don't work, and the bathrooms were in ok condition. If you plan on hosting a big group, reserve a spot ahead of time but be weary of the rules to post the permit by 8am and have someone stand there from 10am up to your event or someone can steal your spot.

We had a wonderful time. I remember coming here over 30 years ago. Some things had changed not too much. It was really nice to see the puppet shows, Danny the Dragon train ride. I think it's a perfect place to take kids 12 years and younger in my opinion, cause they would enjoy it more for the type of rides. It's clean. The staff operating the rides were patient with the kids and friendly. We didn't see the Peting Zoo (they use to had a bunch of Billy goats that you could feed by hand) that was a bit disappointing so I'm hoping their just remodeling or moving them. I loved feeding the goats. Enjoy your visit 🐐🐅🐆 Have fun 🐒
