SV Toddler's Two Sentence Pumpkin Patch Reviews (2024 Update)

Updated 9/27/2024 In October of 2013, when this blog was just three months old (and my son was less than two years!), I embarked on a quest to visit as many pumpkin patches in our area as possible and review them for my readers. My initial plan was a full blog post on each, but with a toddler at home and a schedule jam-packed with fall activities, that proved impossible. Hence, my Two Sentence Pumpkin Patch Reviews.

San Jose Playgrounds (Under Construction!)

Rotary Play Garden It's been years and years, but I'm finally rebuilding the blog! Here are reviews of San Jose's playgrounds and a couple of lists to help you find the right one for your family! (I'll be adding reviews one at a time as I re-do the posts -- some are from 10+ years ago!) My Top Picks Hellyer County Park : Renovated in 2017, this playground has phenomenal wooden play structures, a fun and unique splash pad, a fully-fenced toddler/preschoolers area, and lots of park space nearby (including large lawns, picnic areas, a lake, and trails). See link for full review. Murdock Park : Recently renovated with a really cool big kid play structure -- super tall, multiple fast slides, and fun climbing options. Also a fun little kid area, plus a full separate playground across the law and direct access to the paved San Tomas Aquino/Saratoga Creek trail. Shady Playgrounds Fully-Fenced Playgrounds Hellyer County Park (toddler/preschooler area only) Accessible (or most...
