Serene location, great views of mountain, entire valley, san jose downtown.Has 2 play areas covering both toddlers and 5+ year olds.Has a water splash area, however water seems to be closed on account of drought.There at least 2 picnic spots that can be reserved by calling or going online. You may google flower creek park reservation.Plenty of space to throw a ball !And its a great location to run / jog around the park.You will see LOTS of kids of all ages playing.Last but not least - the sunset view is AMAZING!

Great view for such a short distance to travel and a neat little echo trick within the circular platform at the park. Downside? Potheads there smoking openly most if not all nights forcing everyone around them to smell the smoke.

Nicely maintained park, good view of the whole city from one of the mountain peaks, you can sit-relax and spend some quiet moments while watching sunset or sunrise. Many slides, swings for a kid, a place for yoga, badminton court and a couple of gazeboes for party or picnic.

Fowler Creek Park was designed with plenty of public input. Locals definitely wanted the park to take advantage of the topography, namely to keep the mound with its spectacular view northward over the valley to downtown and to take advantage of the sunsets. A slide built into the side of the hill also exploits the incline. Citizens were adamant to exclude any sort of organized sports field in the design other than the tennis courts. Doing left large, grassy area for play to the benefit of most visitors.The location and proximity to the local well-kept neighborhood andundeveloped foothills makes this park one of the jewels of the San Jose city park system.Two separate play areas with different types of structures effectively separate older and younger children. A water feature that runs in non-drought, summer months is hugely popular for families. A set of Bocci courts is available mostly for folks who have no idea of what Bocci ball is all about. Still, eventually someone will figure it all out.Two large gazebos that can cover and accommodate a hundred users are reservable or, when not reserved, available on a first come first served basis. Hint: spend the money on a reservation. There are folks who arrive at 4 a.m. to hold the tables. Grilling stations are included with the reservations and a restroom is available as well.The park is not intended for evening or night use and the parking area is closed off at sunset. Unfortunately, this is intended to discourage loitering that has increased somewhat. And by loitering, I mean the obvious teen and older males dwelling, doing a doobie or two, and on occasion, involved in illegal selling. The SJPD has increased patrols and the area is more family friendly at night than it was five years ago.This is a park with a plethora of desirable features that sometimes invite the less-than-honorable crowd and can evolve sideways if locals arent vigilent or dont report bad behavior. Im hoping this post is read by fellow responsible citizens who all have a stake in the friendly and fun use of the park. If you see something, say something. The park belongs to all of us.

This is a great place to have a family gathering especially when the sun is about to set. Youre high up and can see most is San Jose down below and looks beautiful. Also, if you go up to the peak by the playground area, you can see even more of the city and looks fantastic! Me personally went to this park during 4th of July and I could see all off the fireworks across San Jose which was really pretty to see.

Love this park. Its an awesome neighborhood park. However, the last few years on 4th of July and some weekends, people have taken over the park. They play loud inappropriate music with cuss words, beer bottles all over and trash left everywhere. Its very sad. My husband and I tried to walked thorough there, as our regular neighborhood walk and they blocked the side walk path and threw firecrackers at our feet. They laughed. It was very uncomfortable. Then before they left they lit the garbage cans on fire and burned some beautiful fully bloomed Myrtle trees.

Park itself is nice but with almost no shades. A lot of indecent people come by in recent years. some litters, some plays soccer in the tennis court, some hits elderly people in the bathroom, It is considered the most dangerous neighborhood park recently. Avoid it if you can.

Great park for the kids. A little bit of a drive to get there, but you get a great view of the valley and the kids liked it.
