Known forbotanical gardenhidden gemEast Sidecultural
A peaceful 33-acre botanical garden and park in East San Jose featuring a Chinese Cultural Garden, koi ponds, native plant sections, and a wildlife sanctuary. It is a genuine neighborhood treasure that most visitors outside the East Side never discover. The park is well-maintained but parking is limited and the surrounding area requires some navigation.
