Canoas Park

Recreation Spot

Found in San Jose, this 2.2-acre urban retreat offers a breath of fresh air amid the city hustle. Canoas Park may be modest in size, but it provides a nice dose of greenery and open space in this neighborhood setting.

Little Ones' Paradise

If you've got kids in tow, you're in luck. The park houses two playgrounds specifically designed for the 2-5 age group, plus another dedicated area for children aged 5-12.

The play equipment isn't fancy or elaborate - think classic slides and swings rather than cutting-edge designs - but it's fantastic for younger children, especially the under-5 crowd who need safe, straightforward play options.

Get Active

Fancy a casual tennis match? The park offers two unlighted tennis courts for your backhand practice. Just a heads-up: the courts have seen better days, with some noticeable cracks in the playing surface.

For something a bit more old-school, there's a horseshoe pit available - a charming throwback recreation option you don't find everywhere these days.

Picnic Perfect

Packing a lunch? Canoas Park has picnic areas and barbecue facilities suitable for family get-togethers or casual hangouts. You'll discover several benches scattered throughout where you can sit and enjoy your meal.

The layout includes plenty of open green spaces, meant for throwing a frisbee, having a catch, or simply sprawling out on a blanket with a good book.

Four-Legged Friends

Dog owners have organically turned this park into something of a canine social club. It's become an unofficial meeting ground where local pups and their humans regularly gather. Note that while your furry friends are welcome, they need to stay on leash at all times - park rules!

Good to Know

One thing to be aware of: there are no public restrooms at this park, so plan accordingly.
