Biebrach Park

Park Overview

Tucked away in San Jose, California, Biebrach Park stretches across 5 acres of community green space. Open daily from 7AM to 7PM, this Council District 6 gem gives you plenty of time to soak in its relaxed vibe throughout the day.

What makes this park special? It's that perfect blend of laid-back atmosphere and family-friendly spaces that keeps locals coming back. It's not trying to be flashy - just a reliable green escape in the middle of busy San Jose.

Sports Facilities

If you're looking to break a sweat, Biebrach offers several options. The park houses basketball courts and a handball court that cater to various athletic interests.

The park includes a swimming pool run by AnT Swim School. At 25 yards by 20 yards and 1.5 to 3 feet deep, it can hold up to 100 swimmers. The swim school offers programs for both little ones and adults, so everyone can make a splash.

Children's Play Areas

Kids have their own dedicated spaces here - two playgrounds, actually. One's designed with the littles (ages 2-5) in mind, while the other caters to the bigger kids (ages 5-12). No more worries about toddlers getting bulldozed by enthusiastic preteens!

The older kids' playground boasts nearly 10 different play structures. Plenty of climbing, sliding, and imagining to be done here - enough to tire out even the most energetic youngsters.

Picnic Facilities

When hunger strikes, head to one of the park's picnic areas complete with barbecue facilities. No reservations needed - it's all first-come, first-served, which adds to the casual, spontaneous feel of the place.

You'll come across about 10 picnic tables with barbecue pits scattered throughout the grounds. Just a friendly tip: bringing along a tablecloth or some wipes might be a good idea, as the tables sometimes need a quick cleanup before use.

Amenities

Nature calls? The park has you covered with separate restrooms for men and women. They're regularly maintained, but like most public facilities, cleanliness can vary depending on when you visit.

Parking is street-side only, but typically adequate for visitors arriving by car.

Pet-Friendly Areas

Biebrach Park has spacious open areas where dogs can stretch their legs and play. The thoughtful layout means your pups can run around while still keeping a respectful distance from other activities happening in the park.
