Silver Creek Meadows Picnic Area — Attraction in San Jose

Could be a nice place to have a party... bathroom right next to picnic tables/ area...but bathroom was filthy dirty when we got there at 2pm. Good playground for school age children and close to picnic area. A lady came to have her child to play... saying that her child was Covid "asymptomatic" , so of course all of the kids left while the lady and her kids continued to play. That was not cool. Weird people in parking lot too. Way too many bees. Thank goodness no one got stung, but the bees put a damper on the party goers. Positives and negatives. We had a good day despite the days drama...

Nice little 2-part park. One end is a lush grassy area with bathrooms, basketball court and workout stations. Other end is a little grassy area with lots of picnic ops and bathroom. In between is either a walk along a busy road or a walk along the creek with lots of garbage, dog poop and discarded clothes. Weird but I felt safe. Some access to a little creek that's pretty stagnant in summer, but access areas are shady...

This park has been a permanent homeless camp for last 4 years, since Covid it has become a dangerous place with needles, Marijuana etc, there are tents that have a running water supply pipe going from the park which clearly shows no due diligence or any maintenance. People are washing and drying clothes on benches and exercise equipment The whole scene is just disgusting and surprising to see so far...
