Near SJC is a garden my children enjoyed when they were young. There is not one scary ride, not one swing or slide, yet it has what all kids seem to relish. The park has little winding paths on which to run, and the piece de resistance is a hill. A hill to climb up and to roll down. A hill that is positioned directly below the flightpath, making the San José Courtyard Garden a perfect spot to view arriving flights.

Recently I had a wonderful time at the Courtyard Garden with a picnic style lunch, which I purchased from the nearby MarketCenter on Coleman Ave., proving it is still a good place for “kids” of any age.

Courtyard Garden location W Taylor St. off of Coleman Ave. You’ll find a free parking lot at the South-East end of the garden on Seymour St.
