Guadalupe River Park and Gardens

Guadalupe River Park & Gardens is a three-mile parkland ribbon that spans from Highway 880 in the north to Highway 280 in the south along the banks of the Guadalupe River in the center of downtown San Jose.

By foot, bike, or even Segway, you can enjoy the fresh air, wildlife, and sunshine at Guadalupe River Park and Gardens. On the 3-mile "Urban Trail Experience", a park that goes through the center of the city and up behind Little Italy, enjoy nature and explore San Jose at its best. Concerts, 5K runs, classes, and festivals are all held at the park on a regular basis. Throughout the scenic area, you can see the birdlife and public art, and if you're lucky, you can even see the beaver family that lives in the river. A Heritage Rose Garden with over 3,700 varieties is located farther north of Rotary PlayGarden in Guadalupe River Park.
