Paul Moore Park

1/6/2014

Definitely recommended.

Very safe and lots to do, and when you get bored with the play structures (which takes quiet a while) there is a huge field for kites or soccer or catch or picnics...

Very clean park too, which is important, and the openness makes me feel very safe and makes it seem bigger than it probably is.  You don't have to worry about teenagers smoking pot on the swings, or gangs tagging up the place because it is all very visible from all directions.

One of our new favorites!

This is a good park to go to. I went here today and it was quite busy. There were a lot of kids there. There's street parking and there was an ice cream truck there when we arrived and all the kids were buying ice cream or popsicles. I got the vanilla Big Dipper cone. There's two separate playgrounds close to each other, a round net that kids sit inside and someone spins them around. There's a tire swing. It's spacious enough for kids to run around. The basketball court was busy with some older kids and there's a grass area to run around. Only thing I had to watch out for is that it's close to the street and I was worried about that.

To me, this is the best park I've seen in the Bay Area so far!   Love it!   So creative and fun

My family and I celebrated the 4th of July at this park! We did not make a reservation because the reserved area lacks shade. We got there super early and grabbed a shaded table. The playgrounds are great and the restrooms were clean! The downfall to the restrooms was No Soap! Plenty of parking, nice neighborhood and tons of open grass space too!

This is the closest park near me, in fact it's half a block away. haha They renovated it with in the last few years.

I think of this as a big small park. It has a baseball field, and more grass areas for soccer, two tennis courts, 2 playgrounds, 1 normal swing set with 3 swings, and then 1 seated swing, and another swing set for toddles and then a tire swing.

This place also has bathroom. The ground always seems to be wet, but it's better than a lot of other parks because this always seems to have toilet paper in stock.

There's a few picnic tables with small bbq grills to use. There's probable like 5 of them or so. There's a few trees to go under if it's too sunny.

A beautiful park in the middle of a quiet San Jose neighborhood yet off the busy Hillsdale Ave. Being across the border from Willow Glen, this park benefits from the family atmosphere while also being peaceful and decently sized. It can be very busy on Saturdays and Sundays with its baseball diamond and large field that can accommodate multiple youth soccer fields or one full sized field.

It's clean, there's plenty of parking, and thy have basketball, tennis, and baseball infrastructure. A great find for the San Jose park seeker.

It is a very good park. Everyone actually calls it cherry park. Very safe and good for family especially little ones.

I was invite here for a birthday party, I did not even know this park was here until I looked up the address on goggle maps.  I was surprised to find this park was here, and what more I was surprised about, how clean and well kept this park is.  

I see they have plenty of activities to do here, like the two different playground for the kids, one of smaller kids and one for older kids.  They also have tennis and basketball courts, along with baseball fields on the other side of the park, plus plenty of room for picnics and other activities.  Oh yes, they also have bathrooms on site along with water stations, but I did not try either of them.

Overall this is a great place to spend a day or just an afternoon enjoying this great weather we have here in the Bay Area.

The giant toy 'train' that is a play set won my toddler over within a minute.  And the 'swings, swings, SWIIIIIINNNNNNGGGGGS...' (Direct quote) came in a close second.

This park has almost everything.  In addition to the usual swings, slides and children's play structures it also has basketball and tennis courts. I'm excited to explore this park even more to see what it has to offer!  It even has restrooms which is fantastic since it's kind of a walk (1 mile) from our place.

I do not have a dog, but I do have kids. We have had picnics, birthday parties, family time and more at Paul Moore Park. My Cub Scout pack had our annual picnic here and we had a great time!

For those who like to geocache, there are a couple here as well.

All-in-all, a good park with a clean bathroom (clean for a public park, that is). I recommend Paul Moore. :-)

I wanted to give this local park (free ample parking) a 5 star rating, as it had multiple basketball courts, a well maintained jungle gym for the kids, clean trails and more, but the problem is I hurt myself tripping into a ditch in the baseball field that had a sewer cover on it, but was not level. This is very dangerous for anyone running while playing baseball/softball if there's a sudden whole. I'm glad I didn't break my ankle. I really hope they fix this major injury violation somehow. Grass fields should not have random grates and holes that are purposely built in. I wonder how many others have hurt themselves. A shame.

Loved this park! The structures are so adorable and have a lot to do so that the kids don't get bored. The toddler part is great and bigger than some of the other parks in the area. There are plenty of swings and a small sand area for the kids, which is a plus because my son loves playing in the sand. There are a lot of dogs around, all very friendly and my son loved chasing them around. Bathrooms are right in between the toddler section and the big kids playground so they are very accessible.

Paul Moore Park is a nice (large) park that pretty much covers all the neighborhood's needs.

It has tennis courts, a basketball court a very nice baseball diamond (bring your own bases).

There are also two different playgrounds and bathrooms.

There are several picnic tables and BBQ pits.

If you are planning a group outing get here early to stake out your tables as they get claimed quickly.

Gorgeous, huge, new city playground that is only 2 years old.  Too bad it's already trashed with graffiti and cigarette butts.  I used to go here a couple times a week with my toddler but now I go to smaller neighborhood parks that may not be as extensive, but they're clean and they're frequented by locals who tend to set a better example and keep things nice and clean.

The direction I got through Yelp wasn't clear.  

The sign that states that this is Paul Moore Park was hidden from the main streets (at least from where I was driving from).  It was a hot ass Wednesday but since Michael wanted me to pick a park for Tess to play, the only right thing to do was to Yelp the nearest park since I was at La Villa ordering my secret sandwich.. and yes, the same hottie made my sandwich and even said he remembers the tall ambulance guy that ordered the, "Death Sandwich."  

I parked.  My Daughter and I walked towards the playground.. I was bummed to find out that the playgrounds were closed off.. no signs.. no nothing so I already have a bad mark of this park.  

My Daughter and I sat (BTW this park has little shading seating area) down at a bench near the basketball court and called up Michael to tell him that this park is thumbs down so what did he decide?  He will drive out of his way to meet us at Cataldi Park.. the park 2 minutes from my house.  

I regret not deciding on Cataldi from the get go.

Really nice park.  I play baseball here on Sundays.  Good sized open grass area.  Nice place to bring the kids.  Great location - corner of Hillsdale and Cherry.  Pretty clean bathrooms for a park.  Well maintained.

i brought my toddler here. Huge playground with separate areas for toddler versus big kids. Not gated. Plenty of street parking near the playgrounds. Bathrooms and drinking fountain are conveniently located adjacent to both playgrounds. Seems not well-shaded in midday, but lots of trees for late afternoon sun. Playground ground is soft rubber while swings area is bark. Updated structures, safe, with musical instruments theme. Big kids section has ropes for climbing, and plenty of space beneath the structure for people who need small enclosures (sensory kids). All structures are wheelchair accessible. Both sides have low rock structures for climbing. Toddler side has two enticing structures, two bouncy horse carriages that fit two kids in each (decreasing the need to fight for a turn). Both sides have plenty of shaded benches and tables for snacking or grandparents to sit. Swings area has a handicapped swing that actually still buckles safely. Only negative is that the ladies restroom smelled and had no soap, but did have paper towels.

Great park. Playground just redone. I love that it has a playground  for little and big kids. Also, I the rubber mats are nice so no sand or tanbark gets in shoes.
