Meta review

One of the highlights of San Jose according to many travel blogs and magazines. Online reviews back that up: visitors find the park beautiful and very well maintained (with restrooms and easy to find parking close by). When in full bloom, the smell can almost be overwhelming. Seems very popular with families and for wedding photos as well.

Environmental & Social

A green activity. Positive for the community

Conclusion

A pleasant sight in an otherwise urban environnent. If you are in San Jose and looking for some natural beauty without leaving the city, this is the place. Also worthy of a detour for botany enthusiasts.

Free entrance and good visitors' infrastructure

Key negative

Not very large
