Richard Huerta Park — Attraction in San Jose

This park attracts homeless people and camps. There is literally garbage just left on the ground. There is an officer, Officer Kim, that said that he is responsible for the park. Right now, there are several people on bikes in the back of the park. I talked to "Red" who has pretty much set up a bike shop there . I suspect that much of his inventory is stolen. He leaves his junk behind the shed. I was there when he was spray painting a bike. It is a very uncomfortable place...

I am nor without compassion for those who cannot provide shelter for themselves but the homeless should not be allowed to camp in residential neighborhoods. No one takes their children to this parkanymore. Sad. This same group of men were recently 'evicted' from Target parking lot. I guess businesses have more political sway than residents. The police, homeless task force, and city council person have all been contracted...

This is a forgotten and unloved park by the look of things. Just off of a busy street, with some litter, graffiti, and a few broken pieces of play equipment, too. What a shame, too--my kid had a fun time playing here, but I didn't feel comfortable staying for very long. Not sure I will come out of my way to visit...
