Murdock Park

A real neighborhood park! There are so many different playgrounds, which the children love. Plenty of grills for BBQs, tons of green grass, tennis courts and basketball courts — there’s even a trail nearby for jogging. Murdock has everything you could ask for from a park!

Great big territory, clean and well maintained park. in a quiet neighborhood. Plenty of street parking. They have 3 big play structures with swings and slides. Plenty of BBQ areas in the shade. Good for kids of all ages. Good for big group celebrations too.

This is a nice park that is well-​maintained and clean. We enjoy walking here during the day and find the location to be very peaceful and relaxing. We have never experienced any problems here. All your basic park amenities are available here.

Quiet neighborhood. 2 full playgrounds. 3 if you count the elementary school playground on weekends. Tennis courts, picnic tables, and a lovely creek trail I love to run (back behind the tennis courts).

Ride my bike here sometimes for a small training session. Tennis courts are really well maintained. Have friends that use those facilities. The spinny things near the playground can make y’all really dizzy haha

I came here to play tennis and I definitely was a fan. Courts with lights and they were well maintained and when i came in the evenings after work I didn’t find it very busy either.

Park feels like it was abandoned by the City. The grass is in bad shape, it hasn’t been mowed or watered for quite sometime, lots of brown spots. The small sand area is pretty dirty, leafs, branch, debris, I wouldn’t recommend kids playing in it. There is 3 play structure which is pretty outdated surrounded by wood chip. Toddler play area is a good size but play structure is quite small, a lot of waste of space. The concrete around the picnic bench needs to be pressure wash, very dirty. Street parking only, if you park near school, there is no parking sign during certain time frame. Park really needs to be renovated.

Park is located in a quiet neighborhood. Lots of shade which is great for the summer. It’s very well maintained.
One thing that has not been mentioned above is that they have a large BBQ pit which is about 5×4 ft long which comes in handy for large BBQ parties.

Really nice park. Three playgrounds, sandbox, and access to tennis, basketball, and trails.

This park has everything– shade, sun, picnic areas, open fields, tennis courts, bike paths, and play areas. I have never had any problem with the neighbors.
The toddler playground (closest to the street) is showing some wear, but the other playground is newer-​looking and has some great features that you don’t find in many parks.
Agree with the other reviewer that this is a great place to have a party, but get there early as you can’t make reservations. There are no BBQs in the trellis area and the giant pit BBQ in the other picnic area does not work very well (some of the equipment is bent). Rest of the BBQ’s are in good working order.

This is the best park playground on San Jose’s west side for so many reasons:
–it’s shady
–has two nice picnic areas (one covered)
–three play structure areas for three different age levels
–clean new bathrooms (had to replace the one that burned down a few years ago)
–some sand
–big open fields for frisbee or a little game of soccer
–some paths for kids to ride bides on and it also connects with a bike path that’s along Lawrence Expwy.
–tennis courts
–quiet neighborhood /​easy to park
It’s a great place for kids’ birthday parties or barbeques, but you can’t reserve it, so you have to send someone out pretty early in the morning to hold the place.

What an excellent neighborhood park. There are two play structure areas, a couple of BBQ grills, but plenty of picnic tables some shaded and some under the sun. There is sand for the kids to play with, swings and slides for them to release all that excess energy and best of all, pretty clean bathrooms when you need to use them. Wish all the neighborhood parks were this user friendly.
