The City of San José Department of Parks and Recreation and Neighborhood Services is temporarily closing several park locations due to poor air quality for the health and safety of park guests and staff. As an employer, the health and safety of our parks staff is our top priority, and all outdoor activities are being reduced as much as possible.
Closures include the following regional parks:
- Almaden Lake
- Alum Rock Park
- Edenvale Gardens Regional Park
- Emma Prusch Farm Park
- Japanese Friendship Garden
- Guadalupe Oak Grove
- Lake Cunningham Park
- Municipal Rose Garden
- Overfelt Gardens
These locations will reopen as air quality improves and staff is allowed to return to outdoor work. Neighborhood parks remain accessible to the public with the exception of Lincoln Glen, which is under construction. Per AQI – Sensitive groups, such as people with heart or lung disease, older adults, and children should avoid all physical activity outdoors. Everyone else is advised to avoid prolonged or heavy exertion outdoors.
