Kelley Park - San Jose (CA)

5 /5 Ruchita Uttarwar: As a nearby resident, I finally visited this park today and wondered why I hadn’t come sooner. The grounds are impeccably clean, very safe, and beautifully maintained. Dogs on leashes are welcome, and admission to both the main park and the Japanese garden is free. Although I was initially hesitant because of concerns about safety but rangers patrol the entire area to ensure everyone’s safety—and I didn’t encounter a single issue. I highly recommend this spot for a lovely walk or a family picnic.

5 /5 Elizabeth A: Always a great experience. Free entrance except for special events. Volunteers throughout the park. Train / tram museum, you can ride a tram a short way through the park for free, and small San José items on display inside the old hotel. You can walk through some of the old homes. The small parking lot in front is free. Rear parking lot next to the Japanese Friendship Gardens is $6. A small visitor center and San Jose gift shop is located inside the old hotel.

5 /5 Huy Truong: Very quiet, serene place to visit in San Jose area. A small pond filled with big gold fish with various color fish swimming around just waiting to be fed. There is a little kiosk machine where you can buy some fish food to feed the fish. There are some walking paths around the park where you can stroll at your own pace. Its a great family outing place to visit.

5 /5 Annette Torres: Havent been back here since weve moved 20 years ago. Its was great coming back with my oldest daughter.

4 /5 Jose Aguilar: The place is beautiful, with lots of family parties or friends gathering. I did see a minimal amount of homeless, but they do have park rangers patrolling some areas. We got a nice spot under the trees even in the hottest day they have a massive amount of trees to keep you cool, bathrooms are my biggest compliment they are not maintained well at all other then that a good place for a walk or a family party.
