One of the better playgrounds I’ve seen in SJ. Lots of space, restrooms on site, and enough activities for kids of all ages.

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

The top pick in San Jose for families with children who have physical disabilities or mobility challenges β€” every element is accessibility-designed from the ground up. Neurotypical siblings and friends are fully included in all equipment. The Thursday–Sunday schedule requires advance planning.
