Arrived after dark to view the comet in July. Reasonably dark, but quite a bit of light haze from the city while facing north. However its very dark facing south so Jupiter and Saturn were amazingly clear. Fog rolled in by 10pm. Teens hang out in the parking lot after 10, so be aware of your vehicle, though I dont think they cared much about others in the park.
Nice family park in a quiet neighborhood. Lots of trees and people walking, jogging, dogs and children.
This is the closest park for us to walk to on any given day. I like the grassy areas and shaded picnic tables. Its nice they separate playgrounds for the most part its all shaded as well. There is basketball hoops, drinking fountains and walking paths as well.I would appreciate if the community during the weekends would keep it clean. Seems like they allow kids to just leave trash all over the playground.
Its my special meeting place to yoga
Nice quiet place to hang out.
Bring the kids lots of fun thing to play on get some energy out.
Small neighborhood park hidden among the houses and apartments nearby. Despite its size, it still has multiple play structures for different aged kids, and benches for the adults to sit and wait.They used to have a sandpit for kids to play in, they must have removed them for sanitary reasons.
Clean, very nice to take a run
Best Park for kids. Love the neighbourhood. Good for tennis basketball swings and dog park
Was here at part of the SJAA club to watch mercury transit. Nice and quite, green lawns, decent tennis and basket ball courts. Not particularly a good spot for night sky, but I think SJAA meets here as they can use the office bldg on the park.
It is wonderful place for enjoying with family. I always play basketball with my kids every weekend!!
My grandson and I totally love this park!!! Theres lots to explore and do. My husband and I have also played tennis here. Its so nice to have such a great park right inn the neighborhood!!!
Lots of homless people here at night and they tried to take my dog named madison so stay away from here near 12 o clock
Good place for a walk and for participating astronomy club events.
Great park for families with young children. Lots of lawn area for the older kids to play sports as well. Has a tract with workout stations scattered throughout. Small but nice.
Kinda miss the old jungle gym, but the new stuff is considerably safer for children. Basketball, tennis, plenty of parking, yards of... yard. Coal BBQs accompanied by tables with benches. Best park Ive been too in the area.
Great neighborhood park. Several playgrounds for different ages. Large grass area for picnics and bbqs. Theres also basketball and tennis courts.
Place to BBQ, playground for kids, grassy area for dogs and soccer, 2 tennis courts, 2 basketball courts, decent sized park for jogging, great place to view the sunset
Quiet, peaceful, tailwaggers club meet early morning, clean, no homeless, and great Walkers that say, Good morning!
This is a terrific park with multiple huge play structures and grassy fields. Public restrooms are clean enough and well-stocked. Buzzing with activity on a Saturday morning. Great place to play.
Nice place for a picinc or a family get together.
My family gave my 80th Birthday Party here. It was wonderful.
Very good place for young kids to have fun.

Wide spaces, grassy, areas. Lots of trees, bathroom, picnic and BBQ areas, good neighborhood, lots of street parking.
Nice play area and sports options
This park is an excellent resource. It has a hidden geocache for those who want something off the beaten track, and also accessible play areas for all ages of children. For adults there is a short loop around the track with outdoor exercise activities. There is a basketball court which is smooth for hover boards and skaters, and some well maintained tennis courts. There is a small parking lot and street parking.
Pleasant park .. I love coming here most of the time.
Great community park.
Lots to do for all kids ages! Picnic areas a bit dirty.
Nice clean park. Theres lots of grass, a playground, and exercise bars. I cant speak for the bathrooms as u havent used them. Parking is easy to find. Location is convenient, being away from a busy street. ️
Great large park with tables and shade. Large grassy area and tennis courts too. A good park for all ages of children and adults.
The playgrounds are excellent!We had my daughters Birthday party here and the children, parents and friends had lots of fun.
Houge park is a great place to take kids on the weekend as there are multiple playgrounds and several large field areas for running around or play. There are also two tennis courts and two basketball courts available, but if you want to play tennis, you want to arrive early as there are almost always people using them. Basketball courts are hit or miss with activity. The bathrooms do occasionally smell, but they are reasonably nice considering how many people use them (the park is very frequently busy).
Very large playground for kids of all ages. Space to fly a kite/drone, picnic tables for birthdays, shade/sun, and ultimate Frisbee pickup games on Sunday afternoons. Great park!
Great park for kids to play including 3 basketball courts, a basketball hoop for kids, 2 playgrounds, swings, etc. They have a few huge fields and nice trees for shade. There is also a lot of spots for picnics and birthday parties. I highly recommend this park.
The best is the BBQ pits are by the play area. Its easy to keep an eye on the kids while cooking at the same time
Really nice park. There are a few swings and slides for toddlers, which is nice. We took a stroll around and noticed a lady cleaning the pathway off of doggie poo - cleaning up after those who can’t be bothered to clean up after their own dogs!
Love this park. Lots of play equipment and lots of shade. There as restrooms which are pretty clean. The is also lots of grass both in the shade and in the sun.
Love this park as I use it almost daily for morning walk.
Family friendly, clean and well maintained park.
Children can play slide Swing monkey bar and big play ground
Great playground and lots of lawn space for anything else
Nice family park, pet friendly and safe play area for kids.
Good for children to spend time and play!
Great neighborhood park. Both my daughters absolutely love this place. I can drive here in 5 minutes or walk in 15-20 minutes. There are play structures for both older and younger kids. Benches for BBQs and parties (we have already hosted 2 birthday parties here). Nice track around the park for running/walking and biking (for kids only please!). Open areas for relaxing in the shade or playing games like soccer. Also has a basketball court and a tennis court.
Nice place for kids to play
Great park with two different play structures for different ages. Great for bikes and has a large field. Bring your pets just remember to pick up after them.
This is a great, tucked away park. Never too busy. Has a nice running path andgood play structure. The basketball courts are usually free as well so my daughter rides her bike on them (usually with other kids).
Two nice playgrounds, let children burn their energy. Lots of green. Good for family to have a picnic.
Excellent place for a relaxed evening with family. Friendly and lively people!
Very clean nice park.
Nice well kept local neighborhood park
Weve loved this park for many years. Kids like The variety of climbing structures in The park. The best part is bicycle accessibility visa the bike overpasses to neighborhoods and the Los Gatos creek trail.
This is a great park. It has 3 play areas for different aged children. It has basketball hoops and tennis courts. And it has a nice walking trail (I believe the loop is about 0.5 miles) around the park. Its a great park to bring your dog to. The one downside is that the grass tends to be overgrown, and much of it has subtle hills, so its not great for soccer or other sports where long grass would be a problem. But I find that most other parks I visit in San Jose arent as nice as Houge park.
Love Houge Park! Great place to walk the dog, have a birthday party, exercise, or just sit and watch people.
Great park with multiple playground and activity areas. Great for playing, biking, riding, rollerblading, balling, and dog walking. My kids love it!
Went there to vote!
Large playground with large grassy areas
This is an awesome park
We love this park. Plenty of thinga and space for the kiddos to get out and play.
It was fun had a nerf training for bta witch was awsome and fun
Pull-up Bars!
The size and amenities of this park make it a regular destination, perfect for sports, exercise, barbeques, playground time, dog walking, hobby flights (kite, drone, rocket), picnics, and more. The lost star is entirely due to poor maintenance. Bathrooms are disgusting, run down, and graffitied. Playing field is all weeds and full of chuck holes. Trees keep getting chopped down due to disease but never replaced.
SJ astronomy guys setup telescopes here on Friday evenings.
Best park. Have been to this park every day for the past 19 years
It was clean and it was perfect for parties
This is a fun park to bring the kids and have a good time, I ride my bike here with the kids and they always have fun. Lots of play structures to monkey around on.
This park has several play structures for ages 2-12, plenty of benches and picnic tables, a fair amount of shade, and tons of field space to run your dog or kick a ball. We live about 20 minutes away but always come to play here when in the area.
This is a good park for surrounded neighbour hood.children have good facilities for play. Elders have good walk paths walk,athletes have good facilities for exercise in the open air though many more jims available.
Great local park
Nice park. Good for dogs, kids and just playing. No alcohol though
Huge park, lots of activities for kids
Beautiful place!! My son loves going there
My son loved this park which we stopped at on our drive down to Santa cruz. Two big playgrounds and lots of swings and different types of play structures. Also basketball courts and of course bathrooms! We were really glad we found this park
My kids love this park. The playground (playgroundS, really) is expansive and set far back from the street. The neighborhood is quiet and not near any major roads, yet the park is always well-attended. Parking is easy as well. Highly recommended for a low key (and free) alternative to nearby Vasona.
Very nice, play ground for kids and tennis basket ball.
Beautiful park. Very peaceful
Nice park! Lots of picnic area and trees.
