John P. McEnery Park

Park Overview

Tucked away in the heart of downtown San Jose, John P. McEnery Park offers a modest but mighty 1.3 acres of green escape from the urban landscape. You can find this little oasis next to the Abode building at 310 W. San Fernando Street - a breath of fresh air amid the city bustle.

Playground Paradise

The park thoughtfully divides its playground areas to match different developmental stages. Little ones aged 2-5 have their own dedicated space to explore safely, while the more adventurous 5-12 crowd gets age-appropriate equipment that challenges without overwhelming them.

This separation means parents can relax a bit more knowing their children are playing in zones designed for their abilities.

Splash Zone

When temperatures rise, the park's water play areas become quite popular. Kids can cool off in the interactive water features.

On hot days, don't forget to pack a change of clothes - your little ones won't want to miss the splashing fun.

Chill Spots

Need a moment to unwind? The park's picnic areas offer perfect spots to enjoy a packed lunch or simply sit back and watch the world go by. If you're seeking sun-drenched benches to soak up some vitamin D or shaded retreats to escape the heat, you'll find your perfect perch here.

Community Hub

The park's central location makes it convenient for office workers on lunch breaks, families looking for an afternoon activity, or anyone wanting a brief outdoor break in downtown San Jose.
