Los Paseos Park

Location and Overview

Located in the Los Paseos neighborhood of South San Jose, Los Paseos Park spans a generous 10.8 acres at the intersection of Avenida Grande and Via Vista. Sandwiched between Los Paseos Elementary School and Martin Murphy Middle School, this green space is a neighborhood gathering spot where locals of all ages come together. What strikes you immediately is how well-kept the grounds are - reflecting the regular maintenance of this community space.

Recreational Facilities

This park isn't just pretty to look at - it's designed for action. Sports enthusiasts can take advantage of four lighted tennis courts while the open turf areas beckon for impromptu games of frisbee or catch.

If you're looking to get your steps in, the paved walking paths create a great loop around the park's perimeter. For those preferring a more natural surface, there are dirt tracks that work well for bike riding too.

Fitness buffs will appreciate the outdoor bodyweight workout stations scattered around the park. They provide a convenient option for outdoor exercise throughout the park.

Playgrounds

The park features two separate playground areas designed for different age groups - one for the little ones (ages 2-5) and another for older children (ages 5-12).

The play areas feature all the classics: slides, swings, and climbing structures with safety-conscious rubber flooring below. One particularly thoughtful touch: shade sails hover above the equipment, protecting sensitive skin from California's abundant sunshine.

Parents can relax on the conveniently placed benches while keeping an eye on their little adventurers - a small but significant detail that makes afternoon play sessions more comfortable.

Amenities and Features

Planning a gathering? The park offers several picnic areas complete with barbecue setups - well-suited for birthday celebrations or weekend family get-togethers. Some can be reserved ahead of time, while others operate on first-come, first-served basis.

You'll find clean restroom facilities and a dedicated parking lot that takes the stress out of visiting. When evening approaches, solar-powered lights illuminate the walkways, extending your outdoor time safely into the dusk hours.

Leashed dogs are welcome on the grassy areas and walking trails, making the park accessible for pet owners too.

Sports and Activities

The green soccer fields host both youth league matches and casual games on weekends. They're well-maintained and spacious, ideal for active recreation.

At the rear of the grounds, the tennis courts invite players from beginners to seasoned volleyers to enjoy a match in the pleasant California weather.

Park Hours and Regulations

Los Paseos Park welcomes visitors from 6:30AM to 9PM every day, offering a consistent outdoor escape year-round.

You should note that alcohol isn't allowed within the park boundaries. The area sees regular patrols by sheriff deputies, ensuring everyone can enjoy their time safely and according to community guidelines.
