Where a card says no price or no hours listed, the venue does not publish it. We would rather leave the gap than fill it with a guess. Prices come from each venue's own website, and we publish one only when the figure appears on the page we took it from. Tell us if we are missing one you know.
We list 6 outdoor playgrounds within 64 miles of San Jose, CA. Every one is a published listing with an address we checked.
3 of them list an age range starting at two or under. Check the age line on each card, because a place that suits a six-year-old does not always suit a two-year-old.
We list every one we have within 64 miles of the center of San Jose. Each is a published place with an address we geocoded and checked, and the business can claim its listing to keep the hours and prices current.
It varies more than you would expect, from free to full price, and it changes the cost of a visit by a lot when there are two of you. The price on each card is what it costs to get a child in. None of the places on this page publish a price, so call ahead before you rely on a figure from anywhere else.
No. These are free and open, so the only thing to check is the weather. Where a venue publishes a booking page, the listing links straight to it.
Water, sun cream and a hat. There is rarely shade or a tap. Whatever else you need is in the notes beside the listings above.
