Very big park but no grass and wood chips are a little hard for small dogs. Grass is better option for dogs. Sunday morning around 10 am, it was just my dog not sure why this big place doesn't get busy!

I had high hopes but this place flops. Unmaintained and weeds growing everywhere. Foxtails especially, which are known to give dogs health complications. Has good potential but San Jose needs to upkeep this place to make it dog friendly.

It’s a fine dog park, but it needs more DOGS! Its clean and comes with a water fountains for the dogs.

This is one of the newer dog parks in San Jose, and I appreciate that they made the effort. It's clean, and when I've been there the people and dogs have been nice. It is however tiny. Really tiny. Also a sidewalk is right outside one of the long sides of the dog park, so there are people and bicycles and walking dogs for the dogs inside the park to react to only a foot or two away. The last few times we've gone, there have not been any other people or dogs inside the park for us to play with. There must be a particular time of day when people turn up, but it's not the times we guess.

This is a small but clean dog park. They don't provide poop bags or a shovel, so bring your own! There is a dog water station and a few benches along the perimeter. The whole play area is tanbark, which I think is great for the pups. There is a separate small and large dog play area. The large dog play area isn't huge, but it's definitely enough for the big dogs to get up to full speed for a good chase. It seems to die down by 6:30pm, so come between 4 and 6 if you want any play time with other dogs. I've never seen more than 4 dogs here at a time.
