2 nice big parks for small and big dog. Met some nice people there too! If I lived closer Id go there more.
Great place to let your dog run around and play, but bring water, the faucets dont work.
Theyve been working on this park for a yr or more. Theres still no changes to make it better. Its supposed to be a dog park but the area for the dogs to run loose and meet n greet has become smaller. (Due to the construction). Its a pretty big open field park w/a walking path. The bathrooms arent the best seems as someone is always clogging the toilets. Theres always action and people there.
Love nature and walking hearing the voice of trees enjoy your life .
This is a great park, recently renovated. Nice grass lots of parking!
Nice park with basketball court, walking path, restroom, newly renovated soccer field and dog park. On certain days they have Zumba in the park. Downside? Its close to the freeway and the creek, which attracts the homeless.
My dog loves coming to Watson Park and thats just about enough for me. Please do lock your car and keep a watchful eye, as well. There is a considerable amount of homelessness in the area and they will steal your stuff.
Dog park was great, mostly grass. Right now the water is not on but I had my own water for my kiddos.
Was nice to walk my dog, and environment was nice. Except for some broken glass . Thats about it.
Great dog park and playground. We go for walks here daily and enjoy it. The only problem is the occasional homeless tents in the bushes.
Lots of space and good shade well kept grass
Small dog area closed ATM due to covid
Everyone goes there to take their dog after work nice place cuz it has sections for different sized dogs that is a good sayings but they need grass in there cuz there are stickers in the summertime they pook the dogs I wouldnt take them in this summer theres no shade or trees in the sections where the dogs are at need restroom for people to use
Love it just some pet parents need to take care there furry ones
The turf is awesome but the real grass to much pot holes but i recommended to play in the turf but play in other side of the practice
Nice place for playing basketball, soccer and running, plenty of space and parking lot, it would be even better with evening lighting for basketball courts thou
Awesome dog park
Great dog park!
Its a great place to take yourself and your dogs for a relaxing walk or jog.
Dog park need weeds cleaned out and ground needs fixing but overall park is great for your pets
Calm, clean and spacious. Has two playgrounds, grassy area, bathrooms! As well as basketball courts and picnic tables. No shade though.
A nice place to walk and fun with your dog
Nice people. Not too many dogs today, but I was there last Sunday for the first time, & there were plenty of new pup pals for my handsome 4-legged fella to frolic with. A little muddy for the paws near the water, but to be expected. They have both a large & small dog area in which to play & tables & benchs for the human guardians, too. Just like the Terminator, Ill be back!
The park is under construction, should be nice when they finish
Its a great park and good for families to go to because not many people are there. Theres big grass fields and a cool play structure.
This dog park has a lot going for it. Running water, benches, and even a small amount of shade. The dogs weve met are nice. The ground is dead grass and dirt, but I was told artificial grass is coming in November. Down sides... Not enough shade, the freeway is RIGHT THERE, and there is a homeless encampment just off the side. I couldnt see it from the park, but was told theyll come out and take stuff. Lights at night would be nice.Separate parks for large and small dogs, and sturdy fences and gates are a plus. Ill check back when Im near it with a fog or two.
Nice park, could use more shade though.
Terribly maintained. Patrons leave dog poo.
Great to take your dog
An excellent spot for Basketball, and a surprisingly good vantage point for sunsets.
Nice park with two basketball courts and a soccer field
It was a cool place. It was a cool place.
Great turf soccer field that is well maintained.
Grass needed mowing in the little dog part but other than that it was amazing, all of the pups behaved and were friendly. Definitely going back !!!
It looks like a nice park I dont recall actually going inside the park I believe I just drove by and saw the park but I do love parks not park it how much people hang out at but I do enjoy a park everybody should go to a park sooner or later and get some exercise including myself according to my doctors and my own common sense as well
This park could be great.They finally got the grass from dead weeds and yellow to green lawns again(several years of dead grass)There is absolutely no shade trees so the park is miserable on a hot summer day.
Amaizing place for family.
Nice & peaceful park with a lot of parking! Good place to chill durring the day. No restrooms. A lot of basketball courts baseball fields a dog park & some small trail
The dog park is big enough for my dog to run around, but not so big I cant see him, its a good size, there is a water fountain for him and there is where we can sit, most other dog owners are nice, only thing I dont like is the big mud puddle after it rains. My dog starts to wag his tail like crazy when we pull up, If my dog likes it I like it.
Lots of space! Great for dogs! There are alot of homeless but they are friendly and keep to thereselves, only 4 stars because there isnt much service to help the homeless keep clean they dont have a trash can(s) the river is also very dirty and needs a good cleaning. Lots of lime scooters.
Good place to play soccer
Five stars only wish I could give it more Watson dog park is the best dog Park I have been to get! I was amazed. bags in dispensers for pet owners to use and dispose of theirs dogs waste. Shaded areas for those hot summer days. No smell or areas where dogs like to mark their territory. Cant wait to go there again. And all the dogs were playing and running around. A happy place
Pretty calm, safe place. Pretty big. Has a special dog area, and a big lot to just unleash your dog and lat them run as much as they want. Would like it see some more action, but great overall.
Doesnt have shade
Great
I like this park, its close to my place and better ground to play and run than be fore. Wish there is a sign out on Taylor street entrance, because the dog park is more accessible from that side.
Good place because it is so big. Minimizes trouble between dogs. Nearly all owners responsible so again cuts down on problems. Of parks in San Jose, including Butcher, and Santa Clara, my and my dogs favorite. Needs new turf but is in the works for this fall. See you there!
New soccer fields what else is there to love...well there is that dog patch on the backside as well so doggy lovers can have fun here too...
Love this park great for dogs and huge playground for kids
People ruin it with their pets not on leshes. So hard to let children enjoy them self and feel safe.
Great spot for the dogs! Lots of room to run, some water to drink and nice people that just want to talk about their dogs. Wish we had more time!
I would have liked to give this park a higher rating for its spacious dog parks. However, I felt very uncomfortable even letting my dog off leash in the large dog park because there were two adults smoking in the enclosed dog area and no dogs besides mine.Things I would like to see in renovations:1. Rules posted clearly that prohibit people from (a) smoking in the dog area and kids areas (b) people loitering in the dog park without their own dog.2. Post a phone number of who to call to report people breaking park rules and regulations.3. Better lighting for later evening dog play.4. More shade.5. Dust control.
The park serves its purpose as a dog park, but the lack of grass is pretty bad, dogs with long hair will track a lot of dirt.
Great place, and it is currently in renovation. Unfortunately, adults are currently here smoking that s***t and kids are around them, (parents?)playing. So shameful. I wish there were security to prevent for that.
Small, and still under construction.
One of the biggest dog parks Ive seen and then some.
Meh... no turf, just dirt (and mud). That said, the open space is huge and has great potential if the city lays permanent turf.
Very dangerous alota bum camps next to a elementary no es bueno
Big open space nestled near residential homes and freeway. Freeway noise can be loud.Dog park is spacious but needs ground cover maintenance. There has been an on-and-off construction plan to revamp the park area. Park gets muddy when wet. Needs more attention.Soccer fields are nice, artificial turf. Clean.
Great park, great dogs and great people. The park was devastated from the flood but its still a great place. Glad to have it in our neighborhood.
Smell badly
Awesome soccer fields. Real grass and turf
Nice-sized park, with areas for both large and small dogs, water fountains for both, well-stocked poop bag dispensers! Also had a track to walk laps with the dogs. Will go back here!
First dog park Ive visited. While it may not look as nice as other dog parks, I have really enjoyed the large area available. Combined with the community of dog owners Ive talked make this spot very enjoyable. Two pens one for small and large dogs, Benches and water fountains to keep your four legged pal hydrated.
Watson park is remodled. Looks great. Social networking is awsome. But too many homeless people sarounding the area. Be careful and watch your pets.
Very clean, i love that they have 2 separate gated areas for small and large dogs. People here are very friendly. This place is perfect for the whole family not just your pet :)
Got MY CAR STOLEN FROM HERE LMAO
Love taking my babys there
Gotta luv the small/large dog park here, its always very quiet
The dog park is good but it needs bathrooms at the dog park 9n both sides. Also more human drinking fountains.
Beware of the ticks
Good thing about Watson is the having the dog park where people can bring you the dogs and having the playground for the kids and the soccer fields its becoming of nice looking Park as well
Suitable place for walking and kids playing
The dogs had a lot of fun running around
Overall not the worst park, but still needs some maintenance after the flood. 3 separate parking lots (one by the school, one in the middle by basket ball courts, and another in the back by dog park/soccer field)2 playgrounds, basket ball hoops, soccer fields (not sure how open they are to the public though) and a dog park with separate sides for big and small dogs.DOG PARK:Finally open after the flood! The dog parks are big, but not maintained (even before the flood) big dog side is basically all dirt, and theres ALWAYS a mud puddle close by to the water (which means yes, your dog dog IS going to get dirty, whether they actually play in the puddle or not), Never any poop bags. But, there are 2 tables and benches in the front and back of the park (front has a little shade) and even more benches along the side, as well as a water fountain that you have to keep pushing every time your dog wants water, as well as a faucet on the far side. Someone has left a metal bowl at each fountain as of 8/11/17. Other people are usually pretty good about watching their dogs (theres a always someone that doesnt though :/ ) but wont ask before bringing small dogs to the big side or vice versa. Hope your dog isnt aggressive depending on size. so overall as long as you bring your own poop bags and dont mind your dog getting dirty, its a great spacious park for you and your dog.MAIN PARK:Also not maintained after the flood, the grass is terrible to walk in, but everything else is still good. Trash cans along the perimeter of the park and by the playground and basket ball courts. Fairly clean bathrooms for a public park, and working water fountains. Usually see some shady people in the middle parking lot that will just hang out there for hours, if youre going alone just be aware of your surroundings. Basketball courts and playground usually packed by about 7pm everyday. Walkers around the big circle pavement and joggers in the small circle pavement (no rule saying you have to do this, people just do).
Needs some improvements
Love it
Known this park for 4 years and I always enjoy it.
Cool except for all the homeless
The dog park used to be amazing, but unfortunately the flood wiped it out. The kids portion of the park is really great, but just needs the big kid swings re-installed.
The dog park was temporarily closed, but my kids loved the playground!
It has a very nice and socially enjoyable dog park.
Just give it 10 years for those trees to grow in and it will be a great park
Clean park, no gangs or alchys.
Great. Dog park football field soccer field
Im not a fan of this park. Too much loose dirt and weeds. This place must be a mess after a rain. Not many trees either. Otherwise, its a nice facility. It has separate enclosures for big and small dogs, and both enclosures are fairly large compared to the San Jose dog parks in the evergreen area.
The community has really come together to mow the grass and make the place look great
Great park overall. Needs a few minor changes, and some trees but good overall.
Queit area to think things out.
Well observed alot of tweakers coming out of bushes and in the trees. Strange place with even stranger people. Grass was dry and the dog park was even drier.
