Testimonials
“History Park is a San José gem! We love holding our annual Scout-O-Rama there each mother’s day weekend. The atmosphere is indescribable and creates a priceless backdrop to our event. Having an area that is so beautiful, secure, and conveniently located makes it a great venue”
Dianne Betz – Director of Program for Silicon Valley Monterey Bay Council 055, Boy Scouts of America
“HSJ is such a beautiful and interesting destination in itself. We felt like our guests would have plenty to do even outside of the activities we provided. It’s centrally located, easy to access, and we never felt crowded. We got so many nice logs from our attendees, and they all said how much they enjoyed the park”
