Leif Erikson Park

Features and Amenities

Located in San Jose, Leif Erikson Park offers a spacious lawn area that's ideal for everything from impromptu soccer games to peaceful afternoon lounging. A winding walking path meanders through the grounds, ideal for when you need to stretch your legs or clear your mind with a casual stroll.

What gives this park its unique character are the colorful murals that brighten up the walls - little splashes of creativity that make each visit a bit more interesting. Sports enthusiasts will appreciate the well-maintained basketball courts and soccer field where local pickup games regularly unfold.

Scattered around the park are several picnic tables that practically beg for weekend gatherings with friends and family. The grounds are consistently clean, with plenty of shade trees offering relief on sunny California days. There's also a dedicated parking lot, so you won't have to circle the block hunting for a spot.

Children's Play Areas

Parents will appreciate the thoughtfully designed playground sections that cater to kids of different ages. On the right side, you'll discover a youth playground perfectly suited for the little ones (ages 2-5), with equipment that's just the right size for toddlers to explore safely.

The left section houses a more challenging playground for older children between 5-10 years, which connects to Liberty learning options school. This smart layout ensures kids can play with peers at similar developmental stages.

One of the park's highlights is its children's water play area - a welcome sanctuary during those warm San Jose afternoons when kids need to cool off and burn some energy at the same time.

Pet Friendly

No need to leave your four-legged family members at home. The park welcomes dogs on leash, making it a great destination for your daily dog walks or just letting your pup enjoy some fresh air while you take in the surroundings.
