Theodore Lenzen Park

Park Overview

Tucked into the intersection of Stockton and Lenzen Avenues in San Jose, Theodore Lenzen Park is a cozy green retreat spanning just 0.5 acres. Though small in size, this nearby park offers a peaceful escape from the surrounding urban bustle.

The park is part of the City of San José's Parks and Playgrounds system and sits within Council District 3. One thing you'll notice right away? The grounds are impressively well-kept, with a tranquil atmosphere that makes it fantastic for a quick outdoor break.

Playground Paradise

Kids are the VIPs at this park, with two separate playground areas thoughtfully designed for different stages of childhood. Little ones aged 2-5 have their own space with age-appropriate equipment, while the 5-12 crowd gets their own zone with more challenging play options.

The swings are a highlight that both kids and their grown-ups seem to enjoy. It's refreshing to find a park where children across different age ranges can all find something fun to do.

Amenities and Limitations

The park is a nice gathering spot for families looking to enjoy some outdoor time together. The space is simple but functional, focusing on the essentials of neighborhood recreation.

Just a heads-up though: there are no public restrooms available at the park, so you might want to plan accordingly before your visit.

Visitor Information

Coming by car? You'll discover street parking available in the surrounding area, but the park itself doesn't have a dedicated parking lot. It's typically easy enough to find a spot nearby for a casual visit.
