Townsend Park — Attraction in San Jose

Most of our reviews will be coming from fresh eyes. Due to the fact that I am originally from Texas and recently have relocated to California. What seems usual and standard to most Californians, to me is refreshing and original. So pardon my expression if I seem a little overly excited to the simple things. With that being said my review of Townsend Park in San Jose California is as follows The park is not by far a standard smaller Park than I'm used to in Texas but it is not as large as some of the parks I have seen in California. Still it's tranquil scenery, spaced out areas, and the convenience of having small little workout sections following along the trail all the way around the park is unique. So you're able to get your walk on get your run on play with the children and do a little curl ups some sit-ups and etc all the way around the park. I'm a nature lover so I love the aesthetics that the trees bring into the equation. There's enough space for the children. The amenities for them is well supplied. They do offer a tennis court. Picnic benches. And even a small section of a collective variety of workout equipment next to the play area near the children. So I rate this part an easy five...

I've lived in the area for 1 year now and I must say that this park is great. Large green areas where people picnic, play sports, tan, read, and bring their dogs. The entire park is about half a mile in a circle and their are plenty of people jogging around. The park also contains a playground area for kids and a 2 tennis courts. Located in a quiet neighborhood with not much car traffic. During the late afternoon is when the playgrounds and tennis courts get packed with people bringing their kids. Even very late at night there are still people doing their walks. No matter the time of day I have felt very safe being in the park as I walk my dog around 5 30am every day as well as anywhere from 9 to 11pm. The grass grows pretty quickly and gets cut about once a month. There are plenty of benches and tables to sit and eat at. People that frequent the park have been friendly at least the ones I've met. Parking is also plentiful. The only complaint I have is during the week of July 4th there were so many instances of people lighting fireworks which...

This is a nice size park with a main large green area, two tennis courts, a jogging dirt path with many work-out stations, and separate parks for infants, toddlers, and children. You will also find a few picnic style tables and benches around the children's park area. The park has a fair amount of trees, even though I wish it had more shade around the south part. Also, is not a very crowded park, which makes it a great location for walking/running without running into too many people or strollers. Overall, the park is great, however, it does need a little bit more of maintenance, as you see some areas covered with graffiti, one or two benches are broken, and one of the only two drinking water fountains I saw...
