Explore San Jose Parks begins with History San Jose's home, Kelley Park. Originally Judge Lawrence Archer’s park-like estate, Lone Oak, the 156-acre park is now home to History Park, the Japanese Friendship Garden, the Leininger Center, and Happy Hollow Park and Zoo.

Next, the exhibit examines San Jose’s First Parks: the Plaza, St. James Park, and Alum Rock Park. In Neighborhood Parks, a selection from the more than 150 suburban parks is featured with a look at Public Art.

The exhibit ends with plans for The Guadalupe River Park and Gardens, originally a flood control project, and Park Conservation. San Jose's parks and open spaces continue to provide opportunities for social interaction, recreation, and contact with nature -- and, as such, are essential to the well being of our community.

This exhibition is located in History Park's Pacific Hotel Gallery.
