The Guadalupe River Park is a city park in San Jose, CA. It is a 120-acre park on the banks of the Guadalupe River for about 2.6 miles in the downtown. [1] It was opened in 2005 after the adjoining section of the river was lined with concrete for flood protection. [2]
The park contains a green adjacent to the SAP Center, tennis courts, a visitor center, and installations of public art. [3] The Guadalupe River Trail runs through the park.
The Guadalupe River Park was neglected after opening, leading to calls for revitalization to turn around a homelessness crisis. [1] [4] These calls have led to some proposals and actions to clean trash and engage unhoused in the area. [5] [6] [7]
One public art initiative in the park involves seating areas for San Jose's sister cities. In 2023, a 440 lb statue of Shivaji I that was part of an installation for the city of Pune was stolen from the park. [8] It was quickly recovered. [9]
