1 / 3Playground | Lake Cunningham
đ The Glens, CA
Set within Lake Cunningham Regional Park in east San Jose, this playground sits alongside a large lake popular for walking and recreation. Paid parking applies to the broader park.
Good for going on walks.
đ Family Action Verdict
Best for families who prioritize lakeside walking and open space over cutting-edge playground equipment. The broader park setting â lake, paths, and picnic areas â delivers more value than the playground alone. Families specifically seeking modern play structures will find better options elsewhere in San Jose.

âGood for going on walks.â

âReally boring playground. Definitely need a makeover. We live closed by but had to drive further just to look or a decent playground with shades and things to do. You hardly see any kids playing here. Ain't no one going to reserve your picnic areas with your poorly maintained grass and playground.â

Overview
Lake Cunningham Regional Park spans a large area in east San Jose centered on a reservoir, with walking paths, open green space, and picnic areas complementing the play area. The playground itself has drawn criticism for dated equipment and minimal shade, with reviewers noting it lacks the draw of newer San Jose parks. The lake and surrounding paths provide the strongest reasons to visit, with the playground as an add-on rather than the headline feature. Parking requires a fee.
